Description of measuring instruments
The measuring instruments are displayed in the source monitor and always
correspond to the content on the video monitor. The measuring instruments are
either shown individually or all together.
Vectorscope
• The vectorscope is a color circle
with a black background.
• Only the points on the color circle
that represent the colors in the
video monitor image are visible.
• The vectorscope contains
specified border points:
- R – Red
- M – Magenta
- B – Blue
- C – Cyan
- G – Green
- Y – Yellow
• The color saturation limits run between the border points.
Note: The positions of the border points depend on the settings of the measuring
instrument (view page 178). MAGIX Video Pro X6 automatically chooses a default
setting that is suitable for the material.
Functionality
• In the foreground the colors that are available in the image are displayed in the
corresponding areas of the vectorscope.
• The more frequently a color appears in the image, the more intensively it will be
displayed in the vectorscope.
• When a color is strongly clustered, the respective area in the vectorscope will be
displayed in white.
