4-8 Menu-driven function setup
The functions can be set up using the unit’s menus.
4-8-1 Setting the USER SW GAIN switching
In addition to the standard gain settings of L, M and H, the
S.GAIN (super gain) mode function that provides an analog
gain increase of 30 dB or more and the DS.GAIN (digital
super gain) mode function that provides a cumulative-type
gain increase can be used with this unit.
To select these functions, perform menu operations to open
the <USER SW GAIN> screen from the OPERATION page
and select the gain settings to be used using the S.GAIN item
and DS.GAIN item.
If, for instance, the S.GAIN and DS.GAIN functions have been
allocated to the USER MAIN button, USER1 button or USER2
button, three different types of gain increases can be made by
the combinations of the three USER buttons.
1) To increase the gain without increasing the perceptible
noise
Combine the L, M or H value with the DS.GAIN function.
2) To increase the normal analog gain (in which case, the
amount of noise will increase)
Use only the S.GAIN function.
3) To use the unit in the ultra-high-sensitivity mode
Use the S.GAIN function and DS.GAIN function in
combination.  (This enables an increase in gain of up to 
68 dB.)
However, caution should be observed since the higher the
DS.GAIN increase, the more noticeable the after image
becomes with moving subjects.
Use a gain increase of up to +12 dB 
: with moving
subjects.
4-8-2 Selecting the video output signals
The signals which are output from the VIDEO OUT connector
and MON OUT connector can be selected.  To select this
function, perform menu operations to open the <OUTPUT
SEL> screen from the SYSTEM SETTING page, select the
VIDEO OUT signal for the VIDEO OUT SEL item, select the
type of characters to be superimposed onto the VIDEO OUT
signal and MONITOR OUT signal for the OUTPUT CHAR
item and MONITOR OUT CHAR item, and select whether or
not the characters are to be superimposed onto the
MONITOR OUT signal.
