The Vectorscope provides hue and saturation data for your image. Hue is represented circularly, as a color wheel. Saturation is graphed along the radius. The more saturated a color is, the closer to the outside of the circle it will be graphed. The six color points around the perimeter of the circle represent the standard color bars used in video, and can be used for reference. The diagonal line represents skin tones, to make it easier to color correct your footage for accurate color.
- Brightness: Manipulates the brightness of the vectorscope readout. Increasing or decreasing the brightness of the parade may make it easier to read in some situations.
- Analysis Downsample: Adjusts the precision of the readout. Lower sample rates are faster, but less accurate.
- Color Space: Select between various color standards, so you can ensure your content meets the color specifications required.
- Rec. 601: The color standard for standard definition (SD) footage.
- Rec. 709: The color standard for high definition (HD) footage.
- Rec. 2020: The color standard for ultra high definition (UHD) footage.
- Skin Line: Toggles the skin tone line on and off. By default the skin line is on, but you can hide it using this option, if you wish.
- Standard Color Bars: Toggles the color bar indicators on and off. By default they are on, but you can hide them using this option, if you wish.
