Camera Log

The Camera Log allows you to enable either the connected camera's Log setting (Def. Log) or the user defined log (.cube file generated by CMS software) imported into the TLM-170F.

Def. Log

Rec709 is a color space that produces images that are very normal and realistic with a good amount of contrast and saturation. Log footage recorded on cameras is normally colorless so in order to color grade your Log footage with the Rec709 color space, you can select the appropriate LUT from the list below.

User Log

Save color calibration data generated using Light Illusion's CMS software in .cube files.

Note: Filming with log allows you to view various color grading generated using different logs on the monitor.

Gamma

This sets the gamma correction for the source of input; the smaller the gamma, the brighter the screen and vice versa.

• OFF
  • 1.8 (MAC OS)

• 2.0
• 2.2 (Windows)
• 2.35
• 2.4
• 2.6
• 2.8

Notes:

Gamma2.2 is used widely for various applications, providing highlight and shadow enhancement or defining a midtone.

Gamma2.4 is recommended for high quality TV program production and REC. 709 color space. Gamma2.6 is the gamma standard for Digital Cinema Initiative (DCI) and movie filming.

HDR

HDR is a new TV video standard that generates higher contrast and wide-gamut images and therefore, an HDR monitor is capable of displaying more colors and details of an image than the regular ones. The TLM-170F offers two HDR transfer functions listed as follows:

• ST 2084 or Perceptual Quantizer is able to represent luminance levels of 300, 1000 and 10000 cd/m².
• HLG stands for Hybrid Log-Gamma which is another HDR transfer function.

Back Light

Adjust the back light level from 0 - 100.

Color Temperature

Select a color temperature for your scene. Color temperatures available on the TLM-170F are listed as follows:

• 3200°K
• 5500°K (Desktop publishing or printing)
  • 6500°K (Usually for ordinary PC use)
• 7500°K
• 9300°K (TV pictures)
• User Color

Note: Selection of the User Color mode allows you to manually set the color temperature by adjusting the Red Gain, Green Gain, Blue Gain, Red Offset, Green Offset and Blue Offset.

Marker

Aspect ratio is a crucial element in video shooting and it is defined as the proportion of the width and height of any image. You can use different aspect ratios in your video. Therefore, in order to know what will be in frame at different aspect ratios, during shooting, you can turn on the TLM-170F's aspect marker (a.k.a. guide frame) so that you can record the entire screen while still knowing where the cut-off will be by putting a mat over it.

Center Marker

The Center Marker, if turned on, will place a crosshair in the middle of the screen.

Center Marker Size

The Center Marker size can be set to small, medium or large.

Aspect Marker

Aspect: Display the image according to the aspect ratio of the TLM-170F.

Pixel to Pixel: Display the original image resolution without scaling to match a certain resolution or an aspect ratio. For example, when the resolution of the input video is 1920x1080 but the monitor's resolution is only 1280x800, only area equivalent to 1280x800 out of 1920x1080 will be displayed.

Aspect

The aspect control allows you to manually set the aspect ratio of the monitor. You should choose the aspect ratio of your screen to match that of the input video in order to achieve the best

viewing experience. Views of different aspect ratios on the TLM-170F are shown in the diagram below.

Note: Aspect ratio control is disabled if the scan mode is set to pixel to pixel.

Overscan

If enabled, the image rendered on the display will be larger than the physical area of the screen, creating a cropped image on the monitor screen.

H/V Delay

Used to monitor the blanking area for H sync and V sync.

In H delay mode, the horizontal sync is delayed so that the horizontal blanking period is displayed on the screen.

In V delay mode, the vertical sync is delayed so that the vertical blanking period is displayed on the screen.

In H/V delay mode, both horizontal and vertical syncs are delayed, resulting in both horizontal and vertical blanking periods being shown on the screen.

Note: H/V Delay is disabled if the scan mode is set to pixel to pixel.

Check Field

The check field function offers the user Red-Only, Green-Only, Blue-Only and Mono modes for screen calibration should you require them.

First turn on the color bar, then turn on the single color mode in the check field as this allows you to do the screen calibration by adjusting the brightness, contrast, saturation, tint and sharpness.

Zoom

The zoom function allows you to enlarge the image by a certain percentage (10 - 90%).

Note: Zoom control is disabled if the scan mode is set to pixel to pixel.

Freeze

The monitor's screen freezes once enabled.

Waveform

The TLM-170F also allows the user to display the image alongside with different monitoring waveforms such as the waveform, vector scope, histogram and audio level meter.

Image quality can be improved using tools such as peaking filter, false color and zebras.

Waveform

The TLM-170F offers users different waveform options listed as follows:

- Muilt (vector scope, YCbCr waveform monitoring, histogram and audio meter)

• Y (Y waveform monitoring)

• YCbCr (YCbCr waveform monitoring)
- RGB (RGB waveform monitoring and histogram)
- Off

RGB
Note: If Waveform is set to Multi, the Histogram is enabled by default.

Vector Scope

R Mg YL G Cy

color in the image is very saturated.

The vector scope is used to measure the color information such as Hue and Saturation in a video image.

Note: For color bars, the vector scope works with 100% color bars and 75% color bars with a 75% white level.

Hue: The color markers are red, magenta, blue, cyan, green, and yellow. The proximity a signal to one of the markers tells you what color it is.

Saturation: A vectorscope shows you how saturated your color is and how far away the signal is from the center indicates how saturated the color is. For example, if the color is close to one of those boxes, then that means that

Intersecting lines: The line going up towards the yellow and red colors is the skin tone line on which the skin color should fall regardless of the person's race.

Waveform Monitoring

Waveform monitoring consists of RGB and YCbCr waveforms which are used to measure the brightness, luminance and chroma of a video signal as shown in the diagram below.

Waveform monitoring not only warns the user of out-of-range conditions such as overexposure but also serves as a good tool for color correction and white and black balance.

Vector

This enables/disables the vector scope.

Transparency

This selects the transparency of the waveform and vector scope.

• 50% blend effect
• 25% blend effect
• Off:Opaque

Peaking filter

The peaking filter, once enabled, will place color lines on edges of the subject of the focus in the image. This function works well if the subject of the focus is correctly exposed for high contrast. Red, Green, Blue, White and Black are the five available outline colors on the TLM-170F.

The Peaking Level determines the sensitivity of the filter. Setting the peaking level to a high value means more areas will be highlighted including lower contrast areas. If the peaking level is set to a low value, then only areas of high contrast will be highlighted.

The diagram below illustrates images with peaking filter applied to the subject of the focus. Note the different colors of the outline in each picture.

False Color

Also known as the exposure assist, once enabled, the false color feature will change colors of the elements of the image based on the brightness value. This allows the user to use the monitor's exposure function to achieve proper exposure without the use of costly external equipment.

To best utilize this feature, you must first understand the color chart below. The color chart is like a color scale. The exposure level is represented by different colors which correspond to the respective luminance of the pixels as displayed on the monitor. The correct exposure ranges from 10 – 100%. Anything below 10% is regarded as underexposed and if exposure exceeds 100%, it is deemed overexposed.

Underexposure and overexposure will lead to loss of details in an image.

For example, areas with exposure level of 56IRE when applied the false color will be shown as pink color on the monitor. Therefore, as you increase the exposure, that area will change color to grey, then yellow and finally to red if overexposed. Blue indicates underexposure.

An example of an original image with the false color applied is shown on the left of the image below.

Colorful lighthouse with yellow sky and pink/gray stripes, no visible text or symbols

Lighthouse on a rocky outcrop under a clear blue sky, no visible text or symbols

The four available false color modes are Default (Normal), Spectrum, ARRI and Red, which are illustrated in the diagram below.

False Color Table

This enables/disables false color chart on the screen. A sample of the chart is shown below.

Exposure

Once the exposure function is turned ON, you will be able to see a zebra pattern superimposed over parts of the image that are exposed to a specific level. In this way, the exposure of the image displayed on the screen can then be adjusted accordingly on the monitor by changing the exposure level (50 – 100 IRE).

exposure level 0 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 exposure level 50

Histogram

The histogram is a great tool that helps you to improve the overall exposure of the image.

Y (Luminosity)

The Y or luminosity histogram is a graph that describes the human-eye perceived brightness distribution within an image.

To produce the luminosity histogram, first break an image into individual pixels, then each pixel is converted so that it becomes a luminosity based on a weighted average of the three colors at that pixel. The green, red, and blue channels account for 59%, 30% and 11% of the perceived luminosity respectively. This is because human eye is more sensitive to green light than it is to blue or red light. Finally the luminosity histogram is produced by counting how many pixels are at each brightness level as shown in the diagram below.

RGB

The RGB histogram is a graph that represents the overall brightness of the entire image.

In any digital image, each individual color is made by combining red, green and blue lights with each light represented by its brightness level ranging from 0 to 255. Therefore every color produced in this way has a specific brightness value based on mixes of red, green and blue throughout the image and these brightness values of all the different colors in an image are represented in a histogram which is known as the RGB histogram.

On the TLM-170F, the RGB histogram is shown with the color overlay as depicted in the diagram below.

Color

By setting the histogram to color, you will see one red histogram, one green histogram and one blue histogram. Each color histogram is basically a representation of how that color's intensity is distributed throughout an image, allowing you to evaluate the brightness and exposure of that individual color channel. See the diagram below for an example of the color histogram.

Time Code

The TLM-170F is able to decode the following SMPTE timecode formats:

• LTC: Linear timecode.
• VITC: Vertical interval timecode.

The decoded time code will be shown at the top of the screen.

Note: Time code is only available with the SDI input.

Audio

Volume and Level Meter

The Volume option sets the audio level of the input video, which can be viewed visually on the TLM-170F by enabling the Embedded Audio Level Meter.

Note: If the monitor is in SDI mode, you will see 16 SDI embedded audio channels; in HDMI mode, there will be 8 HDMI embedded audio channels.
