Flare Adjusting Method
Preparation
• Connect the HD waveform monitor to the SDI OUT connector.
• Set the HD waveform monitor to the RGB mode.
• Capture the grayscale and adjust the white balance.
• Set Knee of the PICTURE PROFILE SET menu to "Auto" or "Off."
Adjustment procedure
1.
Set the white level (A in the figure below) to 100% with the lens iris and open the iris two steps from that
position.
A
2.
Select the center of the grayscale by the waveform monitor.
3.
Adjust R Flare, G Flare and B Flare until the black levels (B in the figure below) on both sides of the center white
in all of the R, G and B channels to a unity level.
(Align black level all channels to that of the channel having the lowest black level.)
B
Note
• Make flare adjustments with the black-level part free from effects of other light sources or pattern box light
(including reflected light). To prevent such effects, take appropriate measures such as by sticking a less
reflective material to the black-level part or covering the area between camera and chart with a tube.
• If no appropriate environment can be prepared, adjust the R Flare, G Flare, and B Flare values to ±0.
