Understanding the Parade scope
by Terry Griffey (griffeyt53) on May 6, 2008 at 12:56:51 am

The source is XDCAM EX 1080-30p coming from FCP6.0.2. The output from Color is ProRes. Broadcast safe filter is off. Shots are outside, bright sunlight. Correction in the Primary room. My workflow is to first bring the luma within broadcast levels if needed and adjust to get good contrast. When working on the chroma, I almost always find the blues on the black end below 0 in the Parade scope. Bright sunlight has a lot of blue. Am I correct that broadcast safe must have the luma and chroma within 0 to 100? Perhaps I am misunderstanding the Parade scope? How do we perceive color levels below 0? Why does the scope report values below digital 0? The Color manual addresses chroma levels over 100 and can easily see the "clamping" of chroma over 100 when applying the broadcast safe filter on un-corrected chroma source but see no visual effect on the very,very dark areas with little or no detail.

Thanks for your help.
