Whensubtracting a d igital value from the d igital vid eo signal, using thessb command , the ou tput can no longer reach its maximum. Usethe this command to correct for this w here:ssg value = max output valuemax output value - ssb valueSyntax: ssg t iSyntax Elements: tTap selection.

The d igitalvid eo values are multiplied by this value w here:Digital Gain= 4096N otes: Use this command in conjunction w ith the ssb command(d escribed above). It is recommend ed that i is never set below 4096. Setting i to0 w ill result in only 0 output d ata.
