Section 5 – Video Configuration
Radiance Mini rev 091211 13
Black Level
Used to set the black level for the display. Normally the “Brightness” control on the display is used to set the black
level. The command is:
MENU → Output → CMS’s → [CMS] → Black → Ok
White Level
Used to set the white level for the display. Normally the “Contrast” control on the display is used to set the white
level. The command is:
MENU → Output → CMS’s → [CMS] → Color Gamut
Styles Menu
The styles stores settings for the HDMI format that is output to drive the display. There are menus to set the HDMI
format, size, position, aspect ratio, and graybars for the image on the display.
Output HDMI Format
You can specify the digital output range as “RGB-PC level” (e.g. for 8-bit 0 to 255) or “RGB-Video level” (e.g. for 8-
bit 16 to 235). “YCbCr 422” is the recommended output format. For the HDMI RGB output, setting the level as
video allows blacker-than-black and whiter-than-white. The command is:
MENU → Output → Styles → [Style] → HDMI Format → Type →
(YCbCr422, YCbCr444, RGB-PC level, RGB-Video level)
Color Format
Sets the outputs color format. It should be set to match the display. Normally Bt.601 is use for SD/ED modes and
Bt.709 is used for HD modes. For RGB sources Auto should be used. The command is:
MENU → Output → Styles → [Style] → HDMI Format → Color Format → (Auto, Bt.601, Bt.709)
Dither
Some fixed pixel displays show contouring on images that have gradients because the actual repixel depth of each
pixel is limited. The dither control can be used to enhance the resolution of the display and reduce contouring.
Dither position sets the bit size of the pixel for dithering. Orientation controls the frame-to-frame randomization
and can be fixed of dynamic. Masking can be turned on to clear the lowest bits after the dither addition. The
command is:
MENU → Output → Styles → [Style] → HDMI Format → Dither
Mask
The "mask" command allows you to “blank” the edges of the video image on the output without changing its
position or scaling. This is useful to blank bad pixel data from the source that shows on screen, when you want to
keep the “pixel perfect” setup (i.e. no scaling). The gray level of the mask is adjustable from black to white in
sixteen steps. The command is:
MENU → Output → Styles → [Styles] → Mask/Shrink → Mask
Shrink
The “shrink” command allows you to adjust the image size to fit inside a screen masking system. This command is
useful for rear-screen and flat-panel displays when the manufacturer uses too much “overscan”. The command is:
MENU → Output → Styles → [Styles] → Mask/Shrink → Shrink
Screen Aspect Ratio
Select the screen aspect ratio. The screen aspect ratio range is 1.10 to 2.50 and is entered in units of hundredths
(e.g. 16:9 is entered as 1 7 8). If you have a normal fixed aspect display, select the “Single output aspect” which
is the default setting. If you have a movable anamorphic lens, select “Output aspect per input aspect.”
There is a special case when you use NLS input aspect with “Output aspect per input aspect”. When the input
aspect is 4.3+NLS the output aspect assigned to the 16:9 entry is used. When the input aspect is LBOX+NLS,
16:9+NLS, or 1.85+NLS the output aspect assigned to the 2.35 entry is used. The command is:
MENU 0 6 (Single output aspect, Output aspect per input aspect) OK xxx OK
