Features 
High Resolution 8.4” Panel
The OR-841-HDSDI features an all-digital TFT-MegaPixel active matrix LCD system. The LCD panel features a nominal brightness of 400 cd/m2 and a contrast ratio of 400:1 making each display ideal in a variety of environments and lighting conditions.
Waveform monitor function
The built-in waveform monitor (which includes adjustable White and Black clip level indicators) can be displayed in various aspect ratios, positions, and transparency options. The Waveform Monitor not only monitors luminance, but can also warn the user for out-of-range conditions such
as overexposure or “blacker-than-black” errors with fully user-adjustable warning limits.
Real-time Color Vectorscope
The built-in Vectorscope allows users to monitor color gamut range in real time. It displays in full color and can also be displayed in various sizes, positions, and transparency options. The Vectorscope has adjustable gain from 1x to 5x.
ClipGuide
The ClipGuide function operates with both the Waveform display and Monochrome/Color picture display. Both the upper and lower ClipGuide levels are user-adjustable in order to accurately display over-and-under exposures during different shooting conditions. For example, the upper ClipGuide limit may be set to 85 IRE and the lower limit to 10 IRE. With these settings, any exposures over the set limit of 85 IRE will display red on both the Waveform and picture (if selected). The same will be true for blacks under 10 IRE.
Chroma monitor function
Included in the ClipGuide menu are settings for monitoring color gamut errors, which can occur in color space conversion. Any data exceeding these values will be displayed as Yellow in the picture. The factory preset for C limits are 16 and 240 according to ITU-R BT.709. Typically, these values should not be exceeded during normal video production.
