Nominal Gain

The nominal gain is the one that causes a full-scale response at the digitizer output when the luminance part of the applied video signal is exactly 0.7 V.

The table below fully defines the nominal gain condition:

Analog video signal

Luminance level is equal to blanking level

White

Luminance level is 0.7 V above blanking level

1023

To establish the gain of all camera taps to the nominal value, set the GainCtl parameter to 0DB and all involved GainTrim<1,2,3> parameters to zero.

An alternative way is to set the GainCtl parameters to LIN, the Gain parameter to 1000 and all involved GainTrim<1,2,3> parameters to 0.
