# Color Correction Matrix Settings

You can define multiplicative factors in Color Correction Matrix (CCM) to transform color contributions (e.g., R, G, B or B, G, R ) of each incoming color pixel to corrected values, so as to enhance color fidelity of the images output by your camera. This is useful in areas where high color fidelity is required, such as microscopy.

Make sure the camera supports Color Transformation Control or Bayer format. Otherwise CCM settings will be unavailable.

1. Connect the camera to the Software, and then select it.
2. Go to the feature tree panel, and then select the Advanced Features tab.
3. In the CCM settings area, turn on CCM Enable.
4. Set multiplicative factors in the 9 fields below (see the figure Figure 2), which represent a 3 × 3 color correction matrix.
   Note:

   Valid value range of the multiplicative factor is from - 4 to 4.

   Take RGB to RGB transformation for an example. In this case, multiplicative factors (from a11 to a33) marked in the figure Figure 2 represent the following meanings.

   a11

     Red contribution to the red pixel.

   a12

     Green contribution to the red pixel.

   a13

     Blue contribution to the red pixel.

   a21

     Red contribution to the green pixel.

   a22

     Green contribution to the green pixel.

   a23

     Blue contribution to the green pixel.

   a31

     Red contribution to the blue pixel.

   a32

     Green contribution to the blue pixel.

   a33

     Blue contribution to the blue pixel.
