Vidscope can continuously monitor for video gamut
errors in your source material. It calculates those
colour values and luminance level that exceed the
proper RGB limits. It produces as a
percentage of the picture area that has such
excursions. This figure is shown both on the 8
and 1.
6.1 Actual Error
A small gamut percentage can occur in a legal
picture due sight over-shoots on sharp bright edges.
If errors occur over large areas, then the picture is
not broadcast legal.
6.2 Average Error
The 1 value can be very twitchy and
hard to read. The filtered 411 is
smoothed over the number of frames set in the
411 box to be more meaningful.
6.3 Peak Error
Every time the gamut value exceeds the peak value, it updates the peak
value. This remains indefinitely until the button is clicked.
Thus a worst-case gamut figure over an entire programme segment can
be read off.
6.4 Alarm Flagging
The gamut will flag a message on the preview monitor
window to indicate excursions over the pre-determined limit you set in
"4l box.
Similarly, common audio errors can be flagged in the same way by
enabling the option. This works for out of balance and
apparently high (clipping) audio levels if present.
