5.10.5 Matrix
The matrix modifies the camcorder's color gamut. colorimetry is selected by means of a
variable 6-point digital matrix or via preset matrices. Changes made to matrix settings do not
affect the blacks and whites in the image.
A wide range of presets and a variable 6-point digital
matrix assure accurate color matching. The preset choices are:
colors can be made punchier, or more saturated, and others can be made more pastel, or de-
saturated, to create a special look. Matrix adjustments allow the color gamut of the camcorder
to be matched to that of other camcorders, even from different manufacturers. Any changes
should be made under controlled conditions. The only way to accurately see these changes is
to adjust the matrix settings when the camcorder is connected to a vectorscope and an
evaluation monitor.
5.10.6 Color saturation
The color saturation of the video signal can be adjusted in the VIDEO > COLOR > SATURATION
menu. Higher values give more saturation, lower values give less saturation.
