Coming Soon! - We’ve got something scope-shaped up our sleeves.

A high performance NDI and BMD inputable scope set.

Vector is a scope application for colorists, DITs and anyone else who needs to know what a signal is actually doing, measured on the full-resolution frames rather than a proxy.

The Full Classic Scope Set

Every traditional scope rather than a trimmed subset, waveforms and parades, vectorscope, histograms and plots, CIE, Sat Over Lum, gamut, skin tone, neutral, false color, 3D color cube, audio and timecode. All of them are widgets you place in your own layouts.

Waveforms and Vectorscope

Seven vertical scales — IRE, percentage, 8-bit, 10-bit, PQ nits, HLG nits and millivolts — with luma or chroma-only lanes, 64/940 legal-range lines, and parades in R/G/B, B/G/R, YRGB or YCbCr.

The vectorscope adds 75% and 100% bar targets, round or hexagonal rings, a skin-tone line, IQ lines and Highs/Mids/Lows splitting, in BT.601, BT.709 or BT.2020.

Histograms, CIE and Gamut

Luma, RGB, hue and saturation histograms, linear or log, with adaptive scaling that keeps a dark frame readable. The channel plot takes any component against any other, and the CIE 1931 xy (or u’v’) diagram draws the spectral locus with overlays from Rec.709 through Rec.2020, DCI-P3 and ACES to custom primaries. The gamut scope paints in-range pixels grey, near-edge pixels orange and out-of-gamut pixels red.

HDR and Exposure

PQ (ST 2084) and HLG scales in nits alongside the BT.1886 SDR curve, with an HDR overlay on the histograms. False color in luma, HDR, saturation, chroma or hue, zebras at 100 IRE and on high saturation, focus peaking, clipping indicators and preview masks for 16:9, 4:3 and 2.39:1.

Skin Tones, Neutrals and Pins

The skin-tone finder works in HSV or Y’CbCr against a desaturated picture, and the neutral finder can be limited to shadows, midtones or highlights. Color pins mark a sampled reference color on every scope that can place it — source viewer, waveform, vectorscope, CIE plot and 3D cube.

QC, Audio and Timecode

A per-frame error log with pass or fail for luma limits, gamut, black frames and blanking, per-channel and 5.1, 7.1 or quad surround meters with unity at -12, -14 or -20 dBFS, a stereo phase goniometer and seven-segment timecode.

Inputs and Outputs

NDI® in and out, and Blackmagic DeckLink in and out. Capture arrives as the 4:2:2 layouts the cards deliver, or NDI’s 10-bit RGBA, or packed RGB/RGBA/BGRA/ARGB/ABGR at 8, 10, 12 or 16 bits.

Universal Compatibility

In Broadcast and Post Production, we know that we aren’t just one operating system — so we designed all our software to work on Windows, Mac or Linux. Why be constrained by your operating system determining what you can or cannot run? One product, three operating systems as standard.

Perpetual Licensing

No subscriptions. No monthly “surprises.” You buy Vector once, and it is yours. When major updates land, we’ll offer a discounted upgrade — simple.
