Color and Video Correction Examples Using the 9084

Ideally, this display would essentially result in a waveform showing identical RGB components corresponding to the grayscale monochrome bar spectrum being fed to the set monitor. However, as shown in Figure 3-10 with no correction applied, the waveform monitor shows imbalance between the RGB channels due to the reasons discussed above. Note the excessive offset, level, and deviation from an ideal gamma curve for the blue channel.

Blue level in excess of 100%

Non-ideal Gamma curve

Black (Offset) level negative
