Units buttons

Define the units of measurement for the three types of safe color values.

The RGB value for a color in the Color Correction tool will not be identical to the RGB value for the same color in a graphics application such as Adobe Photoshop. For example, the 8-bit RGB values for reference black and reference white are 16 and 235 respectively.

Percent — Measures the adjustment on a percentage scale from 0 to 100.

IRE — Measures the adjustment in IRE units.

mVolts — Measures the adjustment in millivolts.

Actions buttons

Define how the system implements the safe color settings. The top menu controls both the Composite and the Luminance limit types; the bottom menu controls the RGB Gamut limit type. Each Actions menu allows you to select from the following options:

Ignore — The system does not limit based on these settings. This is the default setting.

Warn — The system provides warnings when these limits are exceeded. For more information on safe color warnings, see "Understanding Safe Color Warnings" in the Help.
