Luma Clip

Parameter Type
Description
Allows you to determine the levels at which the effect limits the brightness or darkness in the picture.
Use of Controls
High
Provides a simple clip function for brightness values. When you specify a value for High, no pixel in the image can be brighter than that value. The default is 235 (the broadcast value for white).

Low
Provides a simple clip function for darkness values. When you specify a value for Low, no pixel in the image can be darker than that value. The default is 16 (the broadcast value for black).
When preparing video for broadcast, normally you do not adjust these values. They allow you to adjust the brightness and contrast (using other controls in the Color Effect) while still maintaining legal broadcast values for black and white.
