To adjust the source, adjust the saturation on the capture card until you have it positioned

Vectorscopes and waveform monitors (Figure 104) complement one another and provide a full
representation of all information about the video signal.

The nominal video signal level for television studios and production facilities equates to one volt
(1 V) peak-to-peak.
NOTE: The term peak-to-peak means from the bottom of the signal to the top. You often
see it abbreviated as p-p.
Signals from different sources might not be compatible with each other without such an
amplitude standard. This applies to a nominal signal, one that contains the brightest possible
(peak white) picture information.
