Monitoring
The equipment and methods with which you monitor your
work are critical to producing an accurate result.
The importance of proper monitoring for color correction cannot be overemphasized.
This chapter covers the monitoring options available in Color, including the
configuration of the Scopes window, options for broadcast video output, the
generation and use of LUTs for calibration and simulation, and how the Still Store is
output to video for monitoring and evaluation.
This chapter covers the following:

 Using Display LUTs (p. 115)
 Monitoring the Still Store (p. 120)
The Scopes Window
The simplest way to monitor your work in Color is with the Scopes window. This is the
second of the two windows that comprise the Color interface. You can configure Color
to use one or two displays.
Using two displays, the Scopes window is viewed on the second one, occupying its
own display. Using one display, the Scopes window shares screen real estate with the
Color window.
To switch between single and dual display modes, do one of the following:
m Choose Window > Single Display Mode or Dual Display Mode.
m Press Shift-0 to toggle between both modes.
The Scopes window provides a preview display of the image that you’re working on,
and it can also show either two or three additional video scopes to aid you in image
evaluation.
