TOP MENU Main Menu is displayed by holding the Rotary Encoder Button IN while flicking the Viewfinder Switch from the "OFF" position to "MENU" To display the in-camera Menus on your monitor... first, turn the camcorder off, then while holding the Menu Cancel Switch down, turn the camcorder back on. OPERATION Used to set individual operator preferences (for example, for the viewfinder display), and to save them to the Setup Card. PAINT An extensive menu shown in detail below, used for setting a range of image-adjustment paramaters. MAINTENANCE Used to change camera maintenance operations, for example, changing the basic system, or infrequently used Paint items. FILE Used for performing file operations, such as, writing the reference file. INDEX Alphabetical list of all functions contained within the system. Use this to quickly locate any item, rather than laboriously searching through the various menus and pages. DIAG DISP Has detailed information about the status of the VTR (e.g. hours of drum usage etc.) and can help to locate a failed circuit board etc. PAINT MENU SW STATUS - Page 1
Suggest turning everything in this menu
"ON" Values for all the above functions can be selected in subsequent menus in the Paint File. FLARE GAMMA VIDEO LEVEL - Page 2
WHITE Easier to make trimming adjustments in Gamma (see below). BLACK Easier to make trimming adjustments in Gamma (see below). FLARE Individual [R] [G] [B] Flare compensation. GAMMA After doing a white balance, tweak the overall color balance in Gamma (it is simpler and quicker to do it here, rather than trying to adjust the whites and blacks above). FLARE Leave it turned on (even if not setting any values for [R] [G] [B]). TEST Not a field adjustment - need an oscilloscope. GAMMA - Page 3
GAMMA Suggest using minus 15 as a starting point (as minus 15 = 50 IRE, and is therefore the mid point.) The lower the GAMMA the greater the saturation. For example, minus 25 will bring out any blue in an open sky. Use minus 35 (equivalent to 47 IRE) for a film "look", as it is roughly equivalent to the saturation of older style Kodak Film (i.e. pre XTR and Vision). minus 45 = 38 IRE is probably the absolute maximum setting you would want to have for gamma, as your blacks start becoming noticeably compressed. BLACK GAMMA Normally Zero. Plus numbers stretch the Black Baseline. COURSE GAMMA This sets the baseline Gamma, or where the range of Gamma starts. All settings described here are based on a Course Gamma of 0.45 (i.e. the middle setting). KNEE - Page 4
DETAIL
Image Enhancement adds an artificial edge to make the overall image
appear sharper. Overuse of Enhancement can lead to a "cookie cutter"
effect, so special care needs to be taken if converting to film, or doing
green/blue screen work. If in doubt, it is better to turn all enhancement
off when converting to film or for general green/blue screen work.

This menu is essentially an AUTO HUE facility. MATRIX - Page 8
[R] [G] [B] Plus numbers push the color away from the reference colour, while negative numbers pull it closer to the reference color. For example, to increase overall Red (i.e. to warm up the image), dial in minus10 under [-G], and minus10 under [-B] on the first line = R. And similarly, to increase Green and Blue, dial in negative values as shown below. Plus numbers will have the opposite effect:
MATRIX Turns the whole system ON or OFF. USER MATRIX Turns the "User Matrix" (i.e. [R] [G] [B] above) ON or OFF. With everything turned ON, the "User Matrix" is used to trim the "Preset" Matrix below (which in this case, is REC 709). PRESET Turns ON the "Preset" Matrix below. PRE MTX SEL Selects a standard matrix. "REC 709" is a fairly neutral configuration, and is a good starting point for further trimming, if desired. "REC 709" is also a good rendition for conversions to film. SHUTTER - Page 9
SHUTTER / ECS Turns the shutter or the ECS (Extended Clear Scan), either ON or OFF. SHUTTER / ECS Select the shutter speed from 100, 125, 250, 500, 1000, 2000, or ECS (Extended Clear Scan). 100 = one hundredth of a second, etc. ECS FREQ When ECS (or Extended Clear Scan) is selected above, set the ECS Frequency here in the range 30Hz to 7000Hz. S-EVS Turns the Super EVS (or Expanded Vertical Scan) function, either ON or OFF. S-EVS Sets the Super EVS value between 0 and 100%. At the maximum setting of 100%, vertical resolution is increased by 200 lines. However, this increased vertical resolution is at the expense of one stop sensitivity i.e. the sensitivity of the imagers or CCD's is halved, so you need to open up the aperature on the lens, (or increase the gain) to compensate for this loss of light. SCENE FILE - Page 10
TO SAVE A SCENE FILE To save all your Paint Menu settings (above) to a memory in the camcorder, select FILE STORE and push the rotary encoder button. Then select a file number between 1 and 5, and push the rotary encoder again to store your data. An asterisk appears next to the file number to confirm that your settings have been stored successfully. Note: it is not possible to save Scene Files to the Setup Card (as there is simply too much information). RESTORING DATA Select the appropriate Scene File to be restored (between 1 and 5), and push the rotary encoder button. When the Scene File is restored, an asterisk appears next to the file number to confirm this operation. If you continue to push the rotary encoder, the data in the selected Scene File toggles between the operator's adjusted settings and the standard camcorder settings. STANDARD Select and press the rotary encoder to returns all settings within the camcorder back to the factory presets. When initially setting up the camcorder from scratch, it is normally quickest to reset to the Standard settings, and then trim the various menus accordingly. Note: The [R] [G] [B] values in the Matrix are not reset to zero by pressing this Standard recall function Kaynak - /jkor.com/peter/hdw700.html |
