`PostFilterSharpening`  <a name="cfn-medialive-channel-bandwidthreductionfiltersettings-postfiltersharpening"></a>
Configures the sharpening control, which is available when the bandwidth reduction filter is enabled. This control sharpens edges and contours, which produces a specific artistic effect that you might want. We recommend that you test each of the values (including DISABLED) to observe the sharpening effect on the content.
