Therefore, in order to know what will be in frame at different aspect ratios, you can turn on the TLM-102K’s aspect marker (a.k.a. guide frame) during shooting so that you can record the entire screen while still knowing where the cut-off will be by putting a mat over it.

Safety Marker This sets the safety zone display, which is the standard viewing range of the recorded video. The options are listed as follows: OFF 95% 93% 90% 88% 85% 80% Marker Color The user is also allowed to apply different colors to the aspect marker.

Function This allows the user to set advanced settings for the TLM-102K, such as the scan mode, the aspect ratio, underscan mode, H/V delay, check field, zoom, etc. Details of how these functions can be configured are described as follows: Scan This sets the Scan mode of the TLM-102K.
Page 20
Underscan When enabled, the entire image content will be displayed within the visible area of the monitor without any parts being cut off. Enable underscan if the image exceeds the screen size and appears cropped. 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.
Page 21
Zoom The zoom function allows you to enlarge the image by a certain percentage (10 – 90%). Note: Zoom control is disabled if the scan mode is set to pixel to pixel. Freeze The monitor’s screen freezes once enabled. DSLR (HDMI) The DSLR setting is solely for Canon’s EOS 5D series of DSLR cameras.
Page 22
Waveform The TLM-102K also allows the user to display the image alongside with different monitoring waveforms such as the vector scope, histogram and audio level meter. Image quality can be improved using tools such as peaking filter, false color and zebra.
Page 23
Vector Scope The vector scope is used to measure the color information such as Hue and Saturation in a video image. Note: For color bars, the vector scope works with 100% color bars and 75% color bars with a 75% white level.
Page 24
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-102K. 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 25
Histogram The histogram is a great tool that helps improve the overall exposure of an image. Y (Luminosity) The Y or luminosity histogram is a graph that describes the human-eye perceived brightness distribution within an image. To produce the luminosity histogram, the image is first broken down into individual pixels.
Page 26
These brightness values of all the different colors in an image are represented in a histogram which is known as the RGB histogram. On the TLM-102K, the RGB histogram is shown with the color overlay as depicted in the diagram below.
Page 27
See the diagram below for an example of the color histogram. Time Code The TLM-102K is able to decode the following SMPTE timecode formats: LTC: Linear timecode. VITC: Vertical interval timecode.
