To display a before and after view of the clip in one monitor, select the Show Split View option. You can specify
whether the split view is horizontal or vertical by choosing from the Layout menu. You can also adjust the relative
proportion of the before and after views.

to view a tritone preview of the tonal ranges in the Program Monitor.

Use the Output Levels slider controls to set the maximum black and white levels:
Black Output slider
Controls the resulting output of the shadows. The default is 0, where the pixels are completely
black. Moving the slider to the right specifies a lighter value for the darkest shadow.
White Output slider
Controls the resulting output of the highlights. The default is 255, where the pixels are completely
white. Moving the slider to the right specifies a darker value for the brightest highlight.
If the YC Waveform is displayed in a Reference Monitor, adjust the Black Output and White Output sliders so the
maximum black and white levels of the waveform are within 7.5 to 100 IRE. This ensures that the levels are within
broadcast standards.

Use the following controls to set the black, gray, and white input levels:
Black Level eyedropper
Maps the sampled tone to the setting of the Black Output slider. Click an area in the Program
Monitor that you want to be the darkest value in the image. You can also click the color swatch to open the Adobe
Color Picker and select a color to define the darkest shadow in the image.
Gray Level eyedropper
Maps the sampled tone to a medium gray (level 128). This changes the intensity values of the
middle range of gray tones without dramatically altering the highlights and shadows. You can also click the color
swatch to open the Adobe Color Picker and select a color to define the medium gray in the image.
