[KNEE MODE] | [KNEE POINT] | [KNEE SLOPE]
--- | --- | ---
[D RANGE] | Fig. 1 The dynamic range that can be represented will not change. | Fig. 2 The dynamic range that can be represented will change.
[PRESS] | Fig. 3 The dynamic range that can be represented will change. | Fig. 4 The dynamic range that can be represented and the compression rate of the signal will change.

## [KNEE MODE] (setting for knee operation mode)

Select the [SCENE FILE SETTINGS] menu → [KNEE] → [KNEE SW] → [ON].

Select the [SCENE FILE SETTINGS] menu → [KNEE] → [KNEE MODE] → [D RANGE]/[PRESS].

[D RANGE]: Determines the dynamic range that can be represented by the [KNEE SLOPE] value. The value of dynamic range that can be represented does not change even when the value of [KNEE POINT] changes.

[PRESS]: Determines the signal compression rate by the [KNEE SLOPE] value. The value of the dynamic range that can be represented changes when the [KNEE POINT] value changes.

#### [KNEE POINT] (knee point position setting)

Select the [SCENE FILE SETTINGS] menu → [KNEE] → [KNEE POINT].

Sets the position of the knee point.

#### [KNEE SLOPE] (setting for knee inclination)

Select the [SCENE FILE SETTINGS] menu → [KNEE] → [KNEE SLOPE].

Sets the knee inclination.
