Page 17: Picture
The EDID learning function is only used when you experience any failures in playing audio and video correctly. You will be able to force the TLM-170K’s receiving resolution by setting the EDID to either 2K or 4K so that the connected HDMI source outputs the maximum resolution defined in EDID. -
Page 18: Camera Log
Camera Log The Camera Log allows you to enable either the connected camera’s Log (Def. Log) or the user defined log (.cube file generated by CMS software) imported into the TLM-170K. Def. Log Rec709 is a color space that produces images that are very normal and realistic with a good amount of contrast and saturation. -
Page 19: Gamma
HLG stands for Hybrid Log-Gamma which is another HDR transfer function. Back Light Adjust the back light level from 0 – 100. Color Temperature Select a color temperature for your scene. Color temperatures available on the TLM-170K are listed as follows: 3200°K 5500°K (Desktop publishing or printing) ... -
Page 20: Marker
Marker Aspect ratio is a crucial element in video shooting and it is defined as the proportion of the width and height of any image. You can use different aspect ratios in your video. Therefore, in order to know what will be in frame at different aspect ratios, during shooting, you can turn on the TLM- 170K’s aspect marker (a.k.a. -
Page 21: Marker Color
Increasing the value moves the marker up and decreasing the value moves the marker down. Function This allows the user to set advanced settings for the TLM-170K, 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 22: Aspect
The aspect control allows you to manually set the aspect ratio of the monitor. You should choose the aspect ratio of your screen to match that of the input video in order to achieve the best viewing experience. Views of different aspect ratios on the TLM-170K are shown in the diagram below. -
Page 23: H/V Delay
Note: Zoom control is disabled if the scan mode is set to pixel to pixel. Freeze The monitor’s screen freezes once enabled. Waveform The TLM-170K 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 24: Waveform
Image quality can be improved using tools such as peaking filter, false color and zebras. Waveform The TLM-170K offers users different waveform options listed as follows: Muilt (vector scope, YCbCr waveform monitoring, histogram and audio meter) Y (Y waveform monitoring) ... -
Page 25: Vector
This function works well if the subject of the focus is correctly exposed for high contrast. Red, Green, Blue, White and Black are the five available outline colors on the TLM-170K. 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 26: False Color
False Color Also known as the exposure assist, once enabled, the false color feature will change colors of the elements of the image based on the brightness value. This allows the user to use the monitor’s exposure function to achieve proper exposure without the use of costly external equipment. To best utilize this feature, you must first understand the color chart below. -
Page 27: False Color Table
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 28: Exposure
Exposure Once the exposure function is turned ON, you will be able to see a zebra pattern superimposed over parts of the image that are exposed to a specific level. In this way, the exposure of the image displayed on the screen can then be adjusted accordingly on the monitor by changing the exposure level (50 –... -
Page 29: Histogram
RGB histogram. On the TLM-170K, the RGB histogram is shown with the color overlay as depicted in the diagram below. -
Page 30: Time Code
See the diagram below for an example of the color histogram. Time Code The TLM-170K is able to decode the following SMPTE timecode formats: LTC: Linear timecode. VITC: Vertical interval timecode. -
Page 31: Audio
The Volume option sets the audio level of the input video, which can be viewed visually on the TLM-170K by enabling the Embedded Audio Level Meter. Note: If the monitor is in SDI mode, you will see 16 SDI embedded audio channels; in HDMI mode, there will be 8 HDMI embedded audio channels. -

Color Calibration To use this feature, you will need to purchase Light Illusion’s LightSpace Color Management System (CMS) which includes a calibration probe and the CMS software. The TLM-170K works with CAL, PRO and XPT versions only. Visit https://www.lightillusion.com/lightspace.html for more information. -
Page 34: Color Management System - Calibration Process
Color Management System – Calibration Process This chapter will discuss the use of Light Illusion's CMS software for color correction. Device Setup 1. Before starting the calibration process, you need to install and register the CMS software first. Copy and paste the link https://www.lightillusion.com/colourspace.html into your browser’s address bar then hit enter to open the ColourSpace page shown below. - Page 35 Please note that the signal generator is optional. 2. Connect the calibration device to the PC or the laptop then the TLM-170K monitor via the HDMI interface. Enable Extended Desktop Mode on the PC or the laptop. Finally, open your graphics control panel to set the HDMI output to Full Range.
