Using the Matrox scopes to analyze your
analog video
The Matrox vectorscope/waveform monitors in the Matrox Proc Amp Settings
dialog box are software oscilloscopes that let you examine the video signal
components of your incoming analog video before you start capturing. The
Matrox scopes offer various tools for analyzing different aspects of your video
(they do not affect the video signal itself). If any adjustments are necessary based
on the results, you can use the proc amp controls to make these adjustments.
¦NoteBecause your analog video is converted to a digital signal when input to
RT.X100 Xtreme, the Matrox vectorscope and waveform values provide an
analysis of your video in digital format only. Therefore, you can’t analyze the
blanking, sync, or color burst signals. Be aware that the values for the digital
signal may vary slightly from those of the analog signal output from RT.X100
Xtreme (converted from digital back to analog).
In the following sections we explain:
• How to select and view the various scopes.
• What each scope does.
• How to use the scopes to calibrate your incoming video using color bars.
