    This sets the aspect marker thickness ranging from 1 to 7. Function This allows the user to set advanced settings for the TLM-170V, such as the scan mode, the aspect ratio, underscan mode, H/V delay, check field, zoom, and etc. Details of how these functions can be...
  • Page 20: Underscan

    Underscan If enabled, the image rendered on the display will be smaller than the physical area of the screen. This creates a border around the image. 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.

    Freeze The monitor’s screen freezes once enabled. DSLR This option is useful if Canon 5D2 or 5D3 cameras are connected to the TLM-170V. Waveform The TLM-170V also allows the user to display the image alongside with different monitoring waveforms such as the waveform, vector scope, histogram and audio level meter.
  • Page 22: Waveform

    Waveform The TLM-170V 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 Note: If Waveform is set to Multi, the Histogram is enabled by default.

    This function works well if the subject of the focus is correctly exposed for high contrast. Red, Green, Blue and White are the four available outline colors on the TLM-170V. 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.
  • Page 24: Exposure

    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.
  • Page 25: Histogram

    Histogram The histogram is a great tool that helps you to improve the overall exposure of the image. 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.
  • Page 26 RGB histogram. On the TLM-170V, the RGB histogram is shown with the color overlay as depicted in the diagram below.
  • Page 27: Audio

    The Volume option sets the audio level of the input video, which can be viewed visually on the TLM-170V by enabling the Embedded Audio Level Meter. Note: If the monitor is in SDI mode, you will see 16 channels; in HDMI mode, there will only be 2 channels.
  • Page 28: Color Bar

    Note: Once the HDMI/SDI Convert is disabled, the input will be delivered to its corresponding output interface. Therefore the HDMI IN video will only be shown on the monitor connected to the HDMI OUT and the SDI IN video will only be shown on the monitor connected to the SDI OUT. Color Bar Available options are listed as follows: OFF: disables the color bar...
  • Page 29: Color Calibration

    Color Calibration To use this feature, you will need an additional purchase of Lightillusion’s LightSpace Color Management System (CMS) which includes a calibration probe and CMS software. The TLM-170V works with CAL, PRO and XPT versions only. Visit https://www.lightillusion.com/lightspace.html. See the CMS Color Calibration Process in the subsequent chapter.
  • Page 30: Color Management System - Calibration Process

    Color Management System – Calibration Process This Chapter will introduce the use of Lightillusion's CMS software for color correction. Before starting the calibration process, you need to install and register the CMS software first. Connect the calibration device to the PC or the laptop then install its driver. After the calibration environment has been properly set up, follow the steps below to start color calibrating your monitor.
  • Page 31 4. Connect the TLM-170V monitor Connect the TLM-170V to the HDMI port of your PC or laptop, power ON the monitor and set the computer output to the extended output mode. Then open the graphics control panel and set the PC’s HDMI output to RGB full-range.

Luminance calibration (adjust the backlight). On the LightSpace CMS UI, click Tools  Calibration  Display Characterization to open the Display Characterization window.
  • Page 33 OK button in the dialogue box to start calibration. Repeat the process until the MAX value in the Luminance Units pane is in the range of 80 – 120. Note that the closer the MAX value to 100, the better the TLM-170V is calibrated.
  • Page 34 Click the Measure button, the Calibration Status window will appear along with the Calibration Area and a dialogue box. Drag the Calibration Area onto the TLM-170V. Finally enter a name for this particular calibration in the dialogue box, point the probe at the calibration area as close as possible then click the OK button to start calibration.
  • Page 35 10. Create a 3D Cube Color Calibration File Click Tools  Colour Space  Convert Colour Space to open the Convert Colour Space window. In the Source and Destination panes, select Rec709 for the color space. In the Name textbox enter the name of the 3D cube color calibration file.
  • Page 36 Rename the exported 3D cube file to “lcd.cube” and save it on a USB thumb drive. Insert the USB thumb into the SERVICE port of the TLM-170V and you will be prompted whether to write the 3D CUBE file to the monitor. The color calibration process is complete after the 3D CUBE file has been...
