5. Enhancing the level of expression for dark areas
(Master Ped, RBG Black Control)
5-1. Pedestal (Master Pedestal) adjustment
Regarding the video signal, the reference of luminance signal is Black, which is called Master Pedestal. Adjusting the
lower limit of this pedestal level allows not only the level of black floating but also the brightness balance of a whole
picture to be set.
What is called “sharper” or “softer look” is largely related to the adjustments of outline and gradation.
