Vectorscopes and waveform monitors (Figure 153) complement one another and provide a full
representation of all information about the video signal.

The nominal video signal level for television studios and production facilities equates to one volt (1
V) peak-to-peak.
NOTE: The term peak-to-peak means from the bottom of the signal to the top. You often
see it abbreviated as p-p.
Signals from different sources might not be compatible with each other without such an amplitude
standard. This applies to a nominal signal, one that contains the brightest possible (peak white)
picture information.
