Note: If you cannot satisfactorily calibrate your hardware, you can still artificially
readjust the video clip (after it’s been successfully captured) using the Color
Calibration command in Video Editor (see page 137).
Typical calibration settings
At 75% amplitude, with 100% saturated RGB color bars, your color values
should resemble the following:
White Yellow Cyan Green Magenta Red Blue Black
Red 191 191 0 0 191 191 0 0
Green 191 191 191 191 0 0 0 0
Blue 191 0 191 0 191 0 191 0
When looking at a composite waveform in the waveform monitor, the
typical settings are about:
White Yellow Cyan Green Magenta Red Blue Black
100 65 50 50 30 20 20 0
Note: White and black should always be 100 and 0 respectively, though the other
colors may vary slightly.
Adjusting color with your video capture board
If you cannot use color calibration, your video capture board should still
provide controls that allow you to adjust the contrast, color, and position
of any video displayed from an external video source. The Video Display
button on the Standard toolbar and the Setup: Video Display or Setup:
Video Source command (depending on your video capture board) gives
you access to these controls. If you are not sure how to use them, refer to
the documentation that accompanied your video capture board.
