Manual correction:
To perform the correction manually, you have to shade the image completely. It is advisable to put the
cap on to the lens to stop any light invasion.
After that, use the RCP to perform the FPN correction what takes less than half a second.
The correction is dependent on the Gain adjustments. If you change these adjustments, you should
renew the correction.
4.4 GAMMA CORRECTION
So that an image is recorded like the human eye expects the reproduction, you can change the
Gamma-curveinterpretation and with that adapt the reproduction to the human needs.
For this, you have the following gamma-options:
REC 709
- Standard-adjustment. For conditions according to broadcast-industry
standards.
Linear
- Builds a linear Gamma-curve. Hence is not corrected for the reproduction on
commercial screens and seems often too dark.
User Gamma
- Gives the user the possibility to change Gamma-parameters individually. The
parameters are Gamma-black (black level), Gamma-white (white level) and
Knee (falling gradient of white). The manipulation of these adjustments can
avoid a too strong white or a too poor presentation of black.
4.5 SHUTTER SPEED / EXPOSURE TIME
The Cunima MCU[2] camera with its CMOS image sensor scans the image linear. Hence it is the
electronic pendant to a rolling shutter.
Through the exposure time of the image you can manipulate the shutter speed and consequently the
picture.
You can choose an exposure time between 100% and 5%.
If you correct the exposure time, you get the following results in your picture:
By reducing the exposure time, the image becomes darker and the motion blur is reduced more and
more, what can be a win for recording fast content like sports.
The exposure time basis can be obtained by calculating 1/x. With a framerate of 50fps interlaced (for
example 1080i50) you get an exposure time of 1/50 by 100%. If you then reduce this integration time
to 50%, you get an exposure time of 1/100. Thus you lose the half of the incoming light, that means
one stop of light and the motion blur is reduced by 50% as well.
With a framerate of 25fps progressive (for example 1080p25) you get an exposure time of 1/25 by
100%. If you then reduce this integration time to 50%, you get an exposure time of 1/50. Hence, like
explained in the other example, you lose the half of the incoming light, that means one stop of light
and the motion blur is reduced by 50%, too.
