Features
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 in order 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.
