Among other things, these help you to judge
Proc Amp
and
LiveMatte
settings (see Appendix C, Video
Calibration). To display the
Scopes
view, select that entry from the
Load Default
options for a
Workspace
.
By default, scopes and the associated monitor refer to the
Look Ahead Preview
composition (including
delegated
DSK
channels, or
FTB
), shown at left for reference. Right-click a scope to change the monitored
source to the source you wish to view. Adjust the
Brightness
controls in the scope footers, and the trace
overlay in full or solid colors using the context menu.
Hint: To use Scopes to calibrate a DSK source independently, first select it as the Preview row source.
Double-click a monitor in this
Workspace
to access
Proc Amp
and
LiveMatte™
controls for the current source.
SECTION 10.5
VIEWPORT OPTIONS
Right-clicking an individual monitor viewport also opens a context
menu. The first option group governs the monitor’s source.
In addition to external video inputs (including
Network
sources), you
can assign the output of
Media Players
;
M/Es
; main
Program
output
(including
DSK
channels and effects);
Program (Clean)
without; the
main
Switcher’
s look ahead
Preview;
another
Preview
showing
M/E
source B
output (
Mix mode
only); or any
Output
.
Several special displays are also available. Selecting the
Clock
item
replaces the video display with
Event Clocks
showing current time
along with countdown style
Start
and
End
clocks. The
Custom Image
feature lets you display a network logo.
A further display you may find useful is the
Timecode Only
option that
appears at the bottom of the
Media Players
sub-menu. This displays a
time counter showing the current position of the playhead in the
Media
Player
(respecting the specified Player’s
Warning Colors
option, too).
Below the basic source selection options in the
menu, you’ll find another group that provides access
to optional
Overlays
for the monitor port.
Available overlays include
Checkerboard
(shows a
checked pattern wherever transparency exists in
the source);
Title Safe
(note this is a 4:3 format safe
margin);
4:3 Safe
(a true 4:3 frame edge boundary),
Center Cross
to help with alignment, and
Show Illegal
and
Show Alpha
.
In addition, you may choose to display
VU Meters
with the source,
Tracking Markers
and
Hot Spot
Markers
(see
Section
.
