SECTION 10.4 SCOPES
A further and very useful monitoring option is Scopes, providing Waveform and Vectorscope displays.
Among other things, these help you to judge Proc Amp and LiveMatte settings (see Appendix C, Video Calibration). (To display the Scopes view, select that entry from the Load Default options.)
By default, the scopes and associated
monitor refer to the Look Ahead Preview composition (including any

delegated DSK channels, or FTB), shown at left for reference. Right-click either scope display to change the monitored source to the source you wish to view. Adjust the Brightness controls in the scope footers (Shift + double-click the control to restore defaults), and the trace overlay in full or solid colors using the context menu.
Hint: To use Scopes to calibrate a DSK source independently, first select it as the Preview row source.
Double-click the video monitor in this Workspace to access Proc Amp and LiveMatte™ controls for the current source (or the Output Configuration panel for Program and Preview selections).
As discussed back in Section 8.4.2, TriCaster provides handy Event Time clocks. One of these time displays is shown at upper right in the Dashboard.
It’s possible to show clocks in any monitor pane, as well – whether in the Interface or Multiview displays. As for any other display, simply choose the Clock option in the Viewport Options menu.

Hint: The Timecode Configuration panel in the Dashboard allows you to enter time values employed by Event Clocks.
It is often useful to include a network or corporate logo in the Multiview layout. The
Custom Image item in the Viewport Options menu supports this requirement.
The Browse item in the menu opens a Media Browser, allowing you to select a suitable image for display. You can supply an image for this purpose in almost any common bitmap file format.
