Function Menu
Measurement (10bit & 8bit)
This function allows you to get precise real time YRGB measurements of any point or area within your incoming
signal. With the Measurement function on you can use the arrow buttons to position your crosshair over the
point within your source that you would like to measure. You may also use the A1 and A2 buttons to select the size
of the sampling area for the measurement data (from a single pixel to a much larger area where the values will
be an average of all pixels within your defined sample area). To reset the position and size of your crosshair back to
center simply press the A5 button. As you move the crosshair your Measurement data will update in real time. The
Measurement function is available in a 10 bit mode or 8 bit mode and will provide you with the following data in real time:
• Line and Sample (Identifies position of your crosshair)
• Y (Luminance as an absolute value between 0-255 for 8 bit and 0-1023 for 10 bit)
• Y% (Luminance level expressed as percentage)
• R% (Red level expressed as percentage)
• G% (Green level expressed as percentage)
• B% (Blue level expressed as percentage)
• R (Red level as an absolute value between 0-255 for 8 bit and 0-1023 for 10 bit)
• G (Green level as an absolute value between 0-255 for 8 bit and 0-1023 for 10 bit)
• B (Blue level as an absolute value between 0-255 for 8 bit and 0-1023 for 10 bit)
You can also press the A3 button to set a reference position onscreen. Once your reference position is set it will be
indicated on screen by a separate crosshair and you will be able to move the active crosshair to obtain a real time
readout of your current and reference positions as well as a separate readout of the precise difference between current
and reference locations. Please note that your reference position is both a spatial and temporal reference meaning
that the values indicated on screen for the reference are for that point on screen at the moment you set the reference.
Pressing the A4 button allows you to set your current crosshair position as an F-Stop Reference and view
differences between this current position and your reference position as an F-Stop value. The F-Stop
reference feature is independent of the Ref POS feature. The F-Stop reference value will always be based
on the levels of your current active crosshair position at the precise moment when the A4 button is pressed.
The crosshair color will follow the color selected for markers from the Marker Menu. To change the color of the Measurement
function’s crosshair change the Marker color.
