Checking/Adjusting Brightness and Color
Even a video finely displayed on a PC monitor may cause problems like highlight/shadow detail loss when actually
displayed on a TV monitor. Although the best solution is to edit the video in an environment that the final video is
screened while checking the screening regulations, in many cases, editing must be performed without such
environment and regulation check means. In such cases, use the vector scope or waveform to check the brightness
and colors, and perform the editing process.
Checking Brightness and Color
Vector scope and waveform can monitor the brightness and colors, allowing fine adjustment of detailed parts that
cannot be seen by eyes.
1 Move the timeline cursor and display the image to check the color data on the Recorder.
2 Click [Toggle Vector Scope/Waveform Display] on the timeline.
The [Vector Scope/Waveform] dialog box appears.
