Resolve 16 feature request: 3 simultaneous vectorscopes

PostTue Apr 09, 2019 1:05 pm

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to watch two or three level dependent vector scopes simultaneously, or perhaps even better, something similar to Spearhead/Arrowhead/Split Diamonds? (Tektronix patents)

Scopebox has a pretty nice feature they call HML Balance which is a triplet vectorscope.

Level dependent vectorscopes is already in v16, so why not allow two or three instances?

Perhaps trivial, but BMD developers of DV 16 could change the redundant (time) remaining in Delivery page: it is the same in the Job section and down the line near Stop button. One of these two same instances could be used to show current time status of rendering perhaps. This redundancy is in all previous versions of DR.

DR 15 has the ability to show 4 scopes at the same time. Was that deprecated in DR 16?

you can only ever show one of any given type of scope, that's what this is about. With the vectorscope now able to show shadows/mids/highlights/all of an image, 4 vectorscopes would be handy in some circumstances

Seems it should be straightforward for Blackmagic to allow multiple instances of the same scope type, which could be configured with different settings. Then you could have 3 vectorscopes, 1 showing the low, the 2nd the mids, and the 3rd the highs. The 4th could be another type, for example the new YCbCr parade.
