Hi guys;
I've been digging for information regarding several different settings for my PZ0420 cams from SC2000 and thought I'd share them. I'm pretty sure the menu is standard throughout most/some/all Sony Superhad chipsets with OSD.
White Balance
ATW1: set color temperature 2500K 10000K
ATW2: set color temperature 2000K 13000K
AWC->SET: set color temperature by current illumination.
MANUAL: Manual mode. User can change R and B Gain manually.
INDOOR: Set color temp to 3200K then adjust red and blue as needed.
OUTDOOR: Set the color temp to 6300K then adjust red and blue.

What's this PED level anyway?
PED: pedestal level.
In standard analog video the Master Pedestal is the black reference for the video signal. It is a reference of the luminance.
PED control lifts black levels and affects brightness balance of the image.
This adjustment allows the user to slightly control the pedestal level which is set in the menu. This will change the black reference for the video signal and allow for either slightly raising the blacks or the crushing of them.
Graduation controls “sharpness, gamma, ped” can be used together to give a sharper or softer tone to an image.
Lower PED image values will have more contrast and become sharper. This can also be used to reduce haze in a scene.
Higher PED image settings lessen contrast and can increase a hazy or foggy look.
