Source Screen
- The top of the screen shows the current Wi-Fi network. If it’s not the same network as your Teradek is using, change it in iOS settings.
- When your Teradek appears in the list, tap it to monitor it (as shown, multiple Teradeks can live on the same network).
- Quickview ON/OFF toggles whether the Quickview stream is preferred (recommended). If ON,
Quickview will be chosen ahead of other streams. If OFF, Quickview will only be used if no other feed is found.
- Help shows the app’s built-in help.

- A navigation bar at the top of the screen shows you the current feed and has a < Source button to return to the Source screen. If the navigation bar is not visible, tap the screen to show it. On iDevices where the controls overlay the picture, you can tap the screen to hide them when no control panels are shown.
- In Portrait mode, the picture fills the top of the screen and the ’scopes fill the rest of the screen in a fixed layout.
- In Landscape mode showing one ’scope, the picture fills the screen and the ’scope sits on top of the picture: move the ’scope by dragging it, and resize it with a two-finger pinch.
- In Landscape mode showing all three ’scopes on iPhone or iPod touch, all are positionable and resizable. On iPad, the three ’scopes and the picture share a fixed layout.
- Tap the ’scope settings button
to display ’scope settings:
- WFM or Vector or Hist
or W,V,H toggles between single-’scope and three-’scope displays.
- WFM / Vector / Hist selects and adjusts the current ’scope: WFM (waveform monitor), vectorscope, or histogram. In single-’scope display, tapping shows the selected ’scope. In three-’scope display, tapping just sets which ’scope to adjust.
- When WFM is selected: Y / R+G+B / R,G,B / Y,Cb,Cr changes the WFM display. Use Y to show brightness (Y or luma channel) for exposure checking. Use R+G+B or R,G,B for red/green/blue channel waveforms, to look at color balance and color separation. Y,Cb,Cr shows luma and color-difference signals so you can check to see if saturated colors are clipping.
- When Vector is selected: 100% / 75% / 2x / 4x sets the vectorscope magnification and target display. 100% shows targets for 100% saturation colorbar vectors. 75% places the targets for 75% colorbar vectors; 2x magnifies the vector display by 2x for DSC Labs color charts; 4x gives 4x magnification for looking at camera black & white balances.
- When Hist is selected: Y / R+G+B / R,G,B / Y,R,G,B chooses the histogram display. Use Y to show brightness (Y or luma channel) for exposure checking. Use R+G+B or R,G,B for red/green/blue channel histograms, to look at color balance and color distribution. Y,R,G,B shows both luma and color-channel histograms.
- Refresh Rate: slower saves energy; faster may reduce picture update rates and uses your battery faster. The best setting depends on the speed of your iDevice and your personal preferences. The Refresh Rate setting is shared by all ’scopes.
- Intensity determines how sensitive the current ’scope is. Decrease to see only the strongest part of the signal; increase to see every fine detail. (Intensity only applies to WFM and Vector displays.)
- Pro Tip for the vectorscope: Use minimum Intensity to view colorbars or a color chart; you'll see only the dots corresponding to the large patches of color and the neutral point in the center.
- Scale changes the scale (graticule or overlay) brightness for the current ’scope.
- Transparency adjusts the transparency of the current ’scope when it is shown on top of the picture. (Transparency isn’t adjustable when ’scopes don't overlay picture.)
- Tap the false color settings button
to show false color controls:
- Intensity sets the mix level between true color and false color.
- Red > sets the level above which the image is colored red. Use for overexposre / clipping warnings.
- Yellow > sets the level above which the image is colored yellow. Use for highlights or near-overexposure indication.
- Green = sets a target level, like middle gray or skintone. Green can be set anywhere in the brightness range and shows levels within a few percent of the target.
- Blue < sets the level below which the image is tinted blue. Use for shadows indication.
- Purple < sets the level below which the image is shown in purple. Use for underexposure warnings.
Any false color can be turned off by sliding its control all the way to the left.
Note: false color is only available on iPhone 5S or later, iPod touch 6G or later, iPad Air or later, iPad mini 2 or later, or iPad Pro.
