luminance level of your video to exceed the standard maximum white level.
Select
Allow super black to allow the lowest luminance level of your video
to fall below the standard black level.
¦NoteSuper white and super black should not be allowed when producing
your final video production for broadcast.
4 Under Setup Level, select the pedestal setting that you want for your NTSC
analog video from the
Analog NTSC pedestal menu:
$ 7.5 IRE Applies the standard NTSC pedestal of 7.5 IRE.
$ 0 IRE Applies a pedestal of 0 IRE. You should select this option when
working with a commercial DV device that uses the Japanese analog
NTSC pedestal of 0 IRE. For example, if the video appears too bright
when you play back DV clips on your NTSC monitor, you can change the
pedestal to 0 IRE to output your DV clips at the correct brightness.
¦NoteIf your device has a different NTSC pedestal for input and output, you
can switch the pedestal setting as needed before capturing or recording to tape.
