Designed to test color, the output from this device allows the user, in conjunction with color bars, to adjust video levels so that all cameras used have even video baseline.
Electronic testing device that measures a video signal's chrominance performance, plotting quantities in a compass-like graphic display.
A visual display that shows the electronic pattern of the color portion of the video signal. It is used to adjust the color saturation and hue by using a stable color reference such as color bars. The Avid Vectorscope monitor uses a singleline display.
A special oscilloscope used in video systems to measure chroma.
Specialized oscilloscope that graphically displays the color parts of a video signal, precisely showing the color's strength and hue.
a specialized oscilloscope that measures color information in the subcarrier of the main signal
An instrument similar to an oscilloscope, that is used to check and/or align amplitude and phase of the three color signals (RGB).
An instrument that displays colour vectors, and thus enables colour phase to be measured.
An oscilloscope designed to monitor and tweak the color portion of the video signal.
A CRT instrument that displays the phase and saturation of the primary and secondary video colors. Use to align cameras and equipment.
A specialized oscilloscope that demodulates the video signal and presents a display of R-Y versus B-Y for NTSC (V and U for PAL). Video engineers use vectorscopes to measure the amplitude (gain) and phase angle (vector) of the primary (red, green, and blue) and the secondary (yellow, cyan, and magenta) color components of a television signal.
an oscilloscope designed for television which which is used to set up and monitor the chrominance portion of a video signal. See also, waveform monitor.
A video testing device that measures chroma, hue and other parts of a video signal. To see a picture of a vectorscope click here.
A vectorscope is a special type of oscilloscope used in both audio and video applications. Whereas an oscilloscope or waveform monitor normally displays a plot of signal vs. time, a vectorscope displays an X-Y plot of two signals, revealing valuable details about the relationship between these two signals. Vectorscopes are highly similar in operation to oscilloscopes operated in X-Y mode; however those used in video applications have specialized graticules, and accept standard television or video signals as input (demodulating and demultiplexing the two components to be analyzed internally).
