Vectorscope Display
The Vectorscope is useful for monitoring the color balance and saturation of your Teranex’s converted
video output. For instance, if your signal has a dominant green color cast then the majority of image
information will be located towards the green area of the vectorscope. In comparison, an image with a
neutral color balance will have information evenly distributed around the center.
The center of the vectorscope represents zero saturation. The further an object is from the center, the
more saturated it appears. If your material appears under or over saturated, press the SAT button on
your Teranex Processor and use the rotary knob to either increase or decrease saturation.
Teranex's HUE button can be used if the overall image color appears skewed. As you turn the rotary
knob you will see the color information rotate around the vectorscope's center point. Unless the original
image has a dramatic color skew, small adjustments will usually be better.
Histogram Display
Using the Histogram is another way to check image contrast. The horizontal axis represents the luminance
range with black on the left (0 in a 10 bit image) and white on the right (1023 in a 10 bit image). An image
with good contrast will display information covering the entire horizontal axis, whereas a low contrast
image will display information predominantly in the middle. Use your Teranex Processor's BLK and GAIN
button settings to make the necessary adjustments.
Audio Metering Display
Audio metering display shows you the audio levels from your Teranex Processor. The audio is displayed
in either dBFS or VU format. dBFS is essentially a meter of the overall digital audio signal and is common
on modern digital equipment. The VU meter shows average signal levels, is easy to use and very common
on older equipment.
To monitor your audio levels, watch the VU meter and ensure the levels never peak above 0dB. Peaking
above 0dB means your audio is clipping.
You can also monitor audio phase and balance using the audio metering display.
