146 Chapter 8 Video Scopes
To produce the overall analysis of the image, the individual graphs for each line of the
image are superimposed over one another.
Because the waveform’s values are plotted in the same horizontal position as the
portion of the image that’s analyzed, the waveform mirrors the image to a certain
extent. This can be seen if a subject moves from left to right in an image while the
Waveform is playing in real time.
With all the waveform-style scopes, high luma or chroma levels show up as spikes on
the waveform, while low levels show up as dips. This makes it easy to read the
measured levels of highlights or shadows in the image.
Parade
The Parade scope displays separate waveforms for the red, green, and blue
components of the image side by side. If Monochrome Scopes is turned off, the
waveforms are tinted red, green, and blue so you can easily identify which is which.
