What is Waveform Monitoring?

chroma values from a video input signal. This feature has several benefits
to the production workflow including:
• Ensuring camera to camera matching accuracy when shooting
multicam.
• Returning to locations for additional pick-up shots.
• Assisting with colour correction.
• Camera white and black balance
