The RGB Parade Monitor

The RGB parade monitor in the Video Scopes window displays waveforms for the red, green, and blue components of your video signal. The monitor plots RGB values from 0-255.

The parade monitor helps you determine whether the individual RGB components of your video signal are within limits and whether the total video signal is clipping.

The toggle buttons, R, G and B, is made available to control the visibility of each color channel in the combined display. NOTE The mode selection and the visibility toggle settings are remembered if the RGB Parade view is hidden, the Video Scope view is closed, and from one VEGAS Pro session to the next.
