The waveform monitor is a graphical representation of the image, showing luma values
corresponding to the same horizontal position within the video image. For example, if filming an
outdoor scene where the left side of your sky is overexposed, you will see the left side of the
waveform graph above 100%.

RGB Parade
The RGB parade shows separate waveforms displaying the luminance of each red, green and
blue color channel. By showing a comparison of each channel, the parade scope makes it
possible to monitor the levels of each channel, plus spot color casts by comparing the
highlights, midtones and shadows between each channel. For example, if the shadows are
higher in the blue channel, your blacks will have a shade of blue to them.
Having the ability to see how the differences between all the tonal ranges compare within each
channel gives you an extremely detailed overview of color in your image. You can immediately
spot white balance issues and color casts, and because the parade scope shows a waveform
for each channel, you can also see if one specific color channel is clipping, which you may not
see if you are looking at a single combined waveform.
The three separate RGB waveforms follow the same principles displayed in the waveform
scope, with the top, middle and bottom positions representing the highlights, mid tones and
shadows along the horizontal axis of the video image.
