[SKIN TONE DTL A]/[SKIN TONE DTL B]/[SKIN TONE DTL C] can be set independently or in combination.

[SKIN TONE ZEBRA]: Displays the zebra pattern in the selected skin color field when [SKIN TONE DTL A]/[SKIN TONE DTL B]/[SKIN TONE DTL C] are enabled. The zebra pattern displays the area selected in [SKIN TONE DTL SETTING].

Set with the [SCENE FILE] menu → [SKIN TONE DTL SETTING].

[DETECT TABLE]: Selects the skin color table of the object on which the skin tone table is applied.

[SKIN DTL EFFECT]: Sets the effect level of the skin tone detail.

- The color composition of video signal (R/G/B) can be converted to color difference signal (R-Y/B-Y) as in (Fig. 1). Within those ranges, set the area on which the following skin tone is applied, using the axis across red and cyan (I axis) and the axis across green and magenta (Q axis).

  [I CENTER]: Sets the center position on the I axis (the area where the skin tone applied).

  [I WIDTH]: Sets the area width where the skin tone is applied, along the I axis with [I CENTER] in the center.

  [Q WIDTH]: Sets the area width where the skin tone is applied, along the Q axis with [I CENTER] in the center.
