Analyzing Images Using the Video Scopes
The following section describes the use of each scope that Color provides.
Waveform
The Waveform scope is actually a whole family of scopes that show different analyses
of luma and chroma using waveforms.
What Is a Waveform?
To create a waveform, Color analyzes lines of an image from left to right, with the
resulting values plotted vertically on the waveform graticule relative to the scale that’s
used (for example, –20 to 110 IRE on the Luma graph). In the following image, a single
line of the image is analyzed and plotted in this way.
