Low cost HD Scope from Hamlet

[Jeff Bernstein]

I’ll throw my hat into the ring. For those of you who are doing graphics creation a la After Effects, it is our recommendation to go with either a Tektronix WFM601A/700 or WVR series. The reason is that Tektronix has an exclusive feature in their Gamut warning. The pixels that are out of gamut will actually blink. This makes reading a waveform monitor easy and idiot-proof. Since most video designer don’t even know what a front porch, let alone back porch are, this really foots the bill.

Interestingly, Tektronix makes a software plug-in for Avid with the same features as their scopes for about $1200. I begged them at NAB 2004 to make one for FCP and AE. I would encourage others to do some begging too for I think this would help many of you tremendously.

Agreed. The feedback in Final Touch HD is sweet.

Walter,

A couple or three days ago, Paul Hart posted this on the FCP-L:

This was posted earlier this year. It could still let a spike go
unnoticed but I like it.

One of my favorite tricks is to get a pseudo “real time”
Waveform/Vectorscope during playback by holding down the In/Out
keyboard shortcut while youre playing back your timeline. Works great
for checking for transient illegal spikes in luma/chroma.

Aloha,

AFAICT, he means Mark Clip (the X key). Hit Play, then hold down X. Watch the scopes.

FWIW, though it’s probably common knowledge, and I might be the last one to know about it,

WOW!

Just hold down the “I” key and save yourself $10K, pretty cool solution.
