Checking Color Data
Adjusting to Display on TV Monitor
The video finely displayed on a PC monitor may cause the problems like highlight/shadow detail loss when actually displayed on a TV
monitor.
This problem occurs when the luminance range is smaller than that allowed to be displayed on a PC monitor. To display the video on a TV
monitor, you need to adjust video signal in advance.
[Vector Scope/Waveform]
To adjust the video signal range that is hard to judge visually, measure it with Vector Scope/Waveform. Vector Scope adjusts the color
balance, and Waveform adjust the brightness to be the average value of the whole display.
