Many of these controls are for advanced users and require the use of additional measurement
equipment (for example, a waveform monitor, a calibrated picture monitor, etc.) for correct
adjustment.
5.11.1 Detail
Horizontal and vertical detail enhancement increases the perception of image sharpeness by
creating contrast-rich edges around an object’s contour. The following menu items are
available to control the detail enhancement process:
• Level
• Source
• Vertical
• Coarse/fine Level
• Level dependency
• Noise slicer
• Soft detail
• Soft detail level
• Knee detail
Refer to the Video menu contents list in chapter 12 for more details on these controls.

Note
Detail enhancement differs between SD and HD modes.
5.11.2 Skin detail
Use skin detail to change the contour level in a selected color range. The detail level within this
color range can then be set independently of the rest of the picture.
Decreasing the detail level of a persons skin color softens only the skin tones. But not only
skin colors can be selected, for example, decrease the detail level of a playing field to
accentuate the players or increase the skin detail level to accentuate a rough surface.
