50 3. Click the Adjust Clr buttn at the bttm f the Catalyst Brwse windw. In the Adjust Clr wrkspace, Catalyst Brwse displays a wavefrm/histgram/vectrscpe mnitr, a vide preview, and clr cntrls that yu can use t adjust the appearance f yur vide. The wavefrm/histgram/vectrscpe mnitr and vide preview windw allw yu t mnitr yur prgress as yu adjust clr values. Click the Wavefrm buttn at the bttm f the windw t tggle the wavefrm mnitr. The wavefrm mnitr displays the luminance values (brightness r Y cmpnent) f yur vide signal. The mnitr plts luminance values n the vertical axis and the width f the current frame n the hrizntal axis. Yu can use the buttns at the tp f the wavefrm mnitr t display verlaid ( ) r separate ( ) RGB wavefrms and islate clrs. Wavefrm settings Click the Settings buttn t pen the Wavefrm Settings menu. Yu can use the Wavefrm Settings menu t change the scale f the wavefrm mnitr and enable AIR matching when grading HDR clips. The Settings buttn is available nly when the Grade in drp-dwn is set t Rec- 2020/S-Lg3 (HDR) and the Display clr space drp-dwn is set t Rec.2020/S- Lg3, Rec.2020/HLG, Rec.2020/HLG AIR Matching, Rec.2020/HLG (bypass OOTF), Rec.2020/PQ, Rec.2020/PQ AIR Matching, r Rec.2020/PQ (bypass OOTF).Fr mre infrmatin, see "Chsing a grading clr space" n page 83 r "Chsing a clr space fr the vide preview" n page 83. Yu can click the % r Nits buttn t change the units displayed in the wavefrm. When the Display clr space is set t Rec.2020/HLG, Rec.2020/HLG AIR Matching, r Rec.2020/HLG (bypass OOTF), the Nits value is calculated fr a peak luminance f 1000 cd/m 2. When the Display clr space drp-dwn is set t Rec.2020/S-Lg3, yu can use the AIR Matching switch t tggle AIR (Artistic Intent Rendering) matching t achieve a cnsistent lk between Rec.2020/S-Lg3-based grading and a cnfigured HLG (hybrid lggamma) r PQ (perceptual quantizer) mnitr. The AIR Matching switch is autmatically turned n when the Display clr space drp-dwn is set t Rec.2020/HLG AIR Matching r Rec.2020/PQ AIR Matching. 50 CHAPTER 5

51 Click the Histgram buttn at the bttm f the windw t tggle the histgram mnitr. The histgram mnitr displays the number f pixels that exist fr each clr intensity. The vertical axis represents the number f pixels, and the hrizntal axis represents the RGB clr range frm 0,0,0 t 0,0,255. Yu can use the buttns at the tp f the histgram mnitr t display verlaid ( ) r separate ( ) RGB histgrams and islate clrs. Click the Vectrscpe buttn at the bttm f the windw t tggle the vectrscpe mnitr. The vectrscpe mnitr allws yu t mnitr the chrma values (clr cntent) f yur vide signal. The mnitr plts hue and saturatin n a clr wheel. The vectrscpe displays targets fr bradcast-legal saturatins f red (R), magenta (Mg), blue (B), cyan (Cy), green (G), and yellw (Yl). Individual clrs in yur vide signal are displayed as dts in the vectrscpe. A dt's distance frm the center f the scpe represents its saturatin, and the angle f the line frm the dt t the center f the scpe represents its hue. Fr example, if an image has a blue cast, the distributin f dts in the vectrscpe will be cncentrated tward the blue prtin f the clr wheel. If the image includes ut-f-range blue values, the vectrscpe display will extend beynd the blue target. Yu can use the vectrscpe t calibrate clr between scenes. Withut calibratin, yu may see nticeable clr differences between scenes frm multicamera shts. Click the Settings buttn t pen the Vectrscpe Settings menu. The Vectrscpe Settings menu allws yu t tggle a mnchrme view f the scpe, change the scale f the scpe, adjust the brightness f the clrs displayed in the scpe, and adjust the brightness f the scpe's guide (graticule). Use the 75% Scale setting when perfrming clr crrectin fr bradcast, r use the 100% setting when perfrming clr crrectin fr film r Web distributin with a wider clr gamut. The vide preview windw displays the current frame at the playback psitin indicatr. Click the Split-Screen Preview buttn in the tp-right crner f the vide preview t chse a preview mde. Split-screen previews allw yu t split the vide preview and wavefrm/histgram/vectrscpe mnitr s yu can see yur affected and unaffected vide at the same time.

52 Split: a single frame is displayed in a split-screen view with the riginal vide n the left and the clr-crrected vide n the right. If yu want t mve the split lcatin, hver ver the preview frame. When the split pint is displayed, yu can drag the handles at the tp f bttm f the screen t adjust where the preview is split: 2 Up: tw full frames are displayed in a split-screen view with the riginal vide n the left and the clr-crrected vide n the right. Adjusting the clr wheels In the Adjust Clr wrkspace, the bttm f the Catalyst Brwse windw prvides clr wheels fr Lift, Gamma, and Gain. The wheels prvide a visual representatin f the current levels and allw yu t adjust clr quickly. As yu adjust the cntrls, the wavefrm/histgram/vectrscpe mnitr and vide preview will update in real time t allw yu t check yur prgress. The clr wheels are used t edit ASC-CDL (American Sciety f Cinematgraphers Clr Decisin List) parameters. Click the Wheels buttn t shw r hide the clr wheels. Drag the pint in the center f the clr wheel t pick the hue and saturatin yu want t add t the vide, r drag the slider n the side f the clr wheel t increase luminance fr all RGB cmpnents simultaneusly. Yu can duble-click the pint t reset the clr wheel r duble-click the slider handle t reset the luminance. When yu drag the clr crrectin cntrls, they mve in fine increments. T mve cntrls in larger increments, hld Shift while dragging. 52 CHAPTER 5
