Waveform monitoring consists of RGB and YCbCr waveforms which are used to measure the
brightness, luminance and chroma of a video signal as shown in the diagram below.
Histogram
The RGB histogram is a great tool that helps you identify the image’s overall exposure.
In any digital image, each individual color is made by combining red, green and blue lights
with each light represented by its brightness level ranging from 0 to 255. Therefore every
color produced in this way has a specific brightness value based on mixes of red, green and
blue throughout the image and these brightness values of all the different colors in an
image are represented in a histogram which is known as the RGB histogram.
Vectorscope
The vectorscope is used to measure the color information such as Hue and Saturation in a
video image.
Hue: The color markers are red, magenta, blue, cyan, green, and yellow. The proximity of a
signal to one of the markers tells you what color it is.
Saturation: A vectorscope shows you how saturated your color is and how far away the
signal is from the center indicates how saturated the color is. For example, if the color is
close to one of those boxes, then that means that color in the image is very saturated.
Intersecting lines: The line going up towards the yellow and red colors is the skin tone line
on which the skin color should fall regardless of the person’s race.

ProRes Quality
Select the ProRes quality that meets the requirement of your application. The options are
described below.
HQ 4:2:2
A higher-data-rate version of ProRes 422 that preserves visual quality at the same high level
as ProRes 4444, but for 4:2:2 image sources. With widespread adoption across the video
post-production industry, ProRes 422 HQ offers visually lossless preservation of the highestquality professional HD video that a single-link HD-SDI signal can carry. This codec supports
full-width, 4:2:2 video sources at 10-bit pixel depths, while remaining visually lossless
through many generations of decoding and re-encoding. The target data rate of ProRes 422
HQ is approximately 220 Mbps at 1920 x 1080 and 29.97 fps.
Standard 4:2:2
A high-quality compressed codec offering nearly all the benefits of ProRes 422 HQ, but at 66
percent of the data rate for even better multistream, real-time editing performance. The
target data rate of ProRes 422 is approximately 147 Mbps at 1920 x 1080 and 29.97 fps.
LT 4:2:2
A more highly compressed codec than Apple ProRes 422 Standard, with roughly 70 percent
of the data rate and 30 percent smaller file sizes. This codec is perfect for environments
where storage capacity and data rate are at a premium. The target data rate of Apple
ProRes 422 LT is approximately 102 Mbps at 1920 x 1080 and 29.97 fps.
Proxy 4:2:2
An even more highly compressed codec than ProRes 422 LT, intended for use in offline
workflows that require low data rates but full-resolution video. The target data rate of
ProRes 422 Proxy is approximately 45 Mbps at 1920 x 1080 and 29.97 fps.

6. Frequently Asked Questions
No.
Problems
Solutions
1.
The connected monitor cannot
display 4K HDMI video sent from the
HDR.
Check if your 4K monitor supports 4:2:2
because this is the only format that the HDR
unit supports. Please change a monitor if the
connected monitor supports 4:2:0 or lower
or connect the monitor to HDMI OUT 2 or 3.
2.
The HDR unit cannot detect 4K
HDMI video.
Please reboot your HDR unit or unplug the
HDMI cable then plug back in. If the problem
still exists, check whether your video source
format is 4:2:0 or DVI/HDCP, because they
are not supported by the HDR.
3. Can I record the video to two SSDs at
the same time?
No, the HDR unit does not allow the user to
access the two disks at the same time. The
dual disk design is to allow the HDR to switch
to SSD2 to continue recording when the SSD1
is full. While recording, the system will
display an insufficient capacity error message
when the storage space runs out.
4.
The HDR unit fails to receive the 12G
SDI video over the 100 meter cable.
First check whether the cable is 12G SDI
compliant.
For example, if you are using an 100m Canare
SDI cable, you will then need to make sure
the cable is 5.5C UDH or above. If you are
using a 3G SDI cable, the maximum allowable
distance is approximately 70 meters.
Low grade cables have a transmission
distance of less than 1 meter so if you need
to send 4K SDI video over a long distance,
please first make sure your cable is 12G SDI
compliant.
5.
Can I send video to and from the
HDR unit over long HDMI cables?
Yes, you may send video to and from the HDR
unit over long HDMI cables but HDMI
Licensing Administrator, Inc. does not specify
the maximum transmissible HDMI cable
length which is entirely dependent on the
device capability and the cable grade.
For long distance transmission, we
recommend using cables approved by HDMI
Licensing Administrator, Inc. to ensure
quality of transmission.
This section describes problems that you may encounter while using HDR-90. If you have
any questions, please refer to related sections and follow all suggested solutions. If problem
still exists, please contact your distributor or the service center.

6.
The monitor displays a grey screen
and the recorder’s functions and
buttons are inactive. The HDR-80
must be rebooted to restore its
functionalities.
The boot failure issue could be due to
improper device shutdown. The system
requires some time to shut down the device,
particularly if it is performed right after the
file save. It could take longer for the system
to complete the file save process, as a result,
we recommend long pushing the switch
button for at least 6 seconds.
7.
The built-in LCD touch screen shows
a black screen or displays
incorrectly.
Make sure that input channel 1 has been
connected of a video source. If input channel
1 is left unconnected, you might experience a
black screen or incorrect display on the builtin LCD touch screen.
