Calibrating for Video Output

Basic Video Output Calibration

You can perform basic output calibration when working with a standalone editing workstation or

in a production environment that does not require advanced calibration of horizontal phase or use

of test patterns according to specific house standards.

Calibrating video output requires external Waveform and Vectorscope monitors. If you do not

have external Waveform or Vectorscope monitors, keep the Video Output tool preset values.

You cannot set separate calibration levels for S-Video output, Composite output, and

Component output. When calibrating video output, select one video output for calibration.

The two other outputs are not guaranteed to be properly calibrated. If you need to send

output to more than one SD device, Avid recommends that you use one analog output

(Composite, Component, or S-Video) and one digital output (SDI).

To calibrate for video output:

1. Select Tools > Video Output Tool.

The Video Output tool opens.
