ClipGuide
The ClipGuide function operates with both the
Waveform display and Monochrome/Color picture
display. Both the upper and lower ClipGuide levels
are user-adjustable to accurately display over-and-
under exposures during different shooting conditions.
For example, the upper ClipGuide limit may be set to
85 IRE and the lower limit to 10 IRE. With these
settings, any exposures over the set limit of 85 IRE
will display red on both the Waveform and picture (if
selected). The same will be true for blacks under 10 IRE.
Precision Audio Level Meters
De-embeds and displays up to 16 channels of audio
using sixteen 64-segment tri-color Audio Meters with
user-adjustable reference levels. The Audio Level
Meters provide numerical indicators and headroom
levels, as well as peak hold function. Audio Channel
Loss Warning prevents errors during monitoring.
Precision White Balance with Color Temperature Adjustment
White balance adjustment is essential in order to render
colors correctly. To display colors correctly, gray scale
should maintain identical color temperature. The white
balance for ORCHID monitors defaults to D65 (6500K)
so the user does not need to adjust white balance.
LCD monitors have color-matching issues because white
balance can be affected by a change in luminance level.
Our unique color management system solves this
problem.
The ORCHID operating system includes an Automatic
White Balance function that allows a “One Button”
calibration procedure when used with a Minolta CA-210
color probe. All Orchid Series LCD panels are calibrated
at the factory to ensure color conformity between
screens.
