Hardware Installation

Shipping Box Contents

An HDR Image Analyzer is shipped with two AC power cords. Rackmount brackets
are provided as part of the chassis.

As you unpack the shipping box, carefully examine the contents. Ensure you
received everything and that nothing was damaged during shipment. If you find
any damage, immediately notify the shipping service and supply them with a
Description of the damage. AJA will repair or replace damaged items.

If you find shipping damage, contact your AJA dealer or distributor for details on
how to have your HDR Image Analyzer repaired or replaced.

NOTE: Save packing materials and the shipping box. If your HDR Image Analyzer ever

requires service or you move your system, use the packaging materials and box
for safe shipment.

Rack Mounting the Chassis

Install the HDR Image Analyzer chassis into a standard 19-inch wide equipment
rack, allowing space for cooling airflow. The chassis occupies only one vertical

Analyzer Modes

The waveform, histogram, and vectorscope are a form of oscilloscope and are
used to monitor video brightness, contrast, hue, and color saturation.

• The waveform displays the luminosity or brightness and contrast of the pixels
in the video frame, with the top of the y-axis indicating a high luminosity level,
and the bottom indicating a low luminosity level.

NOTE: Waveform views can be magnified 4x using the Waveform Zoom control. Use the

mouse to move up and down the display.

• The histogram shows the number of pixels in relation to a given list of
luminance, or colors in a specic color space.

• The vectorscope displays values for hue and color saturation. The color
saturation of each pixel in the video frame is shown, with the middle of the
circle indicating a lower saturation level, and the edge of the circle indicating
a higher saturation level. Hue is represented by placement in the 360 degree
angle of the circle.

NOTE: The Vectorscope view can be displayed at either a 75% or 100% size (the

percentage changes the graticules on the Vectorscope, not the rasterized image),
and can be magnified with the Vectorscope Zoom control.

• The gamut screen shows a CIE xy gamut graph reporting the color values
present in the image, with a graticule showing the limits for various standards
(709, P3, 2020).

Several Analyzer view modes are available.

Figure 6. Waveform Luminance Mode

Waveform showing only luminance (Y) and no color information. Each pixel on
the graph shows the frequency of the corresponding luminance value in the
given column. Higher luminance value means lighter image content, lighter pixel
means higher frequency of that luminance value.

Figure 7. Waveform Lumi Color Mode

Waveform showing both luminance and color information. Here, in addition
to the Waveform Luminance mode, the graph is colored according to color
information. The hue and saturation of a pixel shows the sum of the dominant
colors having the corresponding luminance value.
