System information
4. The vectorscope monitor displays the chroma values of the video signal:
Frame Vectorscope Description
Colors are within legal broadcast limits. Note that the
dots for each color in the test pattern are centered in the
appropriate target.
The image has too much blue. Note that the display is
distributed toward the blue portion of the vectorscope.
The red in the boat cover is out of range. Note that the
display extends beyond the red target.
5. Hover over a portion of the monitor to display the chroma value at the pointer position:
The Video Waveform Monitor
The waveform monitor in the Video Scopes window allows you to monitor the luma values (brightness or Y
component) of your video signal. The monitor plots luma values on the vertical axis and the width of the
current frame on the horizontal axis.
For more information, see "Monitoring Video with Scopes" on page 481.
If you want to include chroma (color or C component) information in the waveform monitor, choose
Composite from the drop-down list at the top of the monitor window. When you choose Luminance,
chroma information is omitted.
1. From the View menu, choose Video Scopes to toggle the display of the Video Scopes window.
2. Choose Waveform from the drop-down list.
3. Position the cursor in the frame you want to analyze. If the Update Scopes While Playing button
is selected, you can monitor the waveform during playback.
