Color Levels
Hello all,
I am working on a Avid Adrenaline in 1080i 59.94. Working with Video and Graphics and I have a scope that is showing the color levels as out of color safe. But the Avid color correction tools shows them as OK. What is the best way to find out where the color settings truly are? I am not very familiar with the scope but I think it might be set to be pretty conservative.
Any help would be appreciated.

What make / model is the scope? When was the last time the scope was calibrated? Do you have the instructions? There is usually a way to calibrate the scope.

Hey Jon,
We have a Leader LV 5750 scope. The scope is about a year old, that’s to say we have had it a year. I am not sure if it was new when we got it. I am also not sure the last time it had been calibrated. It is only used for finishing and that’s about 1 week a month. So it hasn’t been used too much. We also figured out that the color settings on the import was affecting the saturation of the graphics. With revised settings the graphics are now within color safe.
Thanks for helping on this.

trust only your external scopes.
It’s a shame we still ahve to buy old scopes from the 80s but unless we move to a better brand… thats our only option.
You can find em on ebay for less than a grand.
