Monitoring assets
A vectorscope measures the chrominance (color components) of a video signal, including hue and saturation. A
vectorscope maps a video's color information onto a circular chart.
The traditional waveform monitor is useful in measuring the brightness, or luminance component, of a video signal.
In Premiere Pro, the waveform monitors can also display chrominance information. The waveform monitor works
something like a graph. The horizontal axis of the graph corresponds to the video image from left to right. Vertically,
the waveform displays the luminance levels, and optionally, the chrominance levels.
