The Function Menu allows you to assign user selectable functions to any of the 5 function buttons (F1, F2, F3, F4, & F5)
on the monitor keypad. Some monitor features listed as assignable options in the function menu are also selectable via the
embedded menus and are present simply to provide an option for faster, single button press access to the desired function.
Other features listed require a function key for activation, but may have associated customizable settings that can be found
in other menus.
Assigning Function Keys
To assign a function to a function key highlight one of the 5 Function lines and press ENTER. A list of assignable functions
will appear. Select the desired function with the UP and DOWN buttons and press ENTER to assign that function to the
corresponding function key. The Function Display option at the bottom of the Function Menu gives you the option to have
a temporary conrmation window appear on screen after a function key is pressed that will identify the function that was
turned on or off.
Scopes & Audio Meters 1, 2, 3
These functions toggle on/off a Scopes & Audio Meters prole. Three prole slots are available from the Scopes & Audio
Meters Menu and each prole can be set to a specic function key allowing you to instantly toggle between various types of
Scope and/or Audio Level Meter congurations. Please note that if you have set both Scopes Windows to the Off position
in the Scopes & Audio Meters menu the luminance scope will appear when toggled.
Cross Hatch
Toggles on/off the onscreen display of a graphical cross hatch overlay.
Marker 1, 2, 3
These functions activate the onscreen display of the preset Area, Safety, Custom Graticules, or Active Boundary Markers as
set in the Marker Proles. Marker Proles can be customized via the Marker Menu. By utilizing this function you can toggle
on/off your selected markers with a single function key (see Marker Menu section of this manual for more details).
Overscan
The Overscan function can work with 1:1 Pixel mapping mode on or off. With 1:1 Pixel to Pixel mapping mode turned off
the Overscanned image is scaled full screen. With 1:1 Pixel to Pixel mapping mode turned on the image remains unscaled,
but the area lying outside of the active scan area is blacked out. This area represents the same area not visible with Pixel
to Pixel mode off.
Mono Mode
Activates the Monochrome function. Press once to turn on and again to turn off. In addition to the standard monochrome
mode the monitor also features the ability to see the red, green, or blue channel only as monochrome. See Blue/Red/Green
Only section for details.

assignment does NOT automatically
turn an active function off. Make sure to
disable unwanted active functions before
changing function button assignments.
NOTE: Many features (Waveform,
Vector Scope, Audio Level
Meters, etc.) require a function
key in order to operate. Some
menus (such as the Scopes &
Audio Meters Menu) only set
your display preferences while a
corresponding function key must
be assigned to turn the feature
on and off. If you are having
trouble with a monitor feature

Details on Overscan Function
With the overscan function off all active lines of video can be displayed on screen. With overscan on a small percentage
of the outermost active video will not be displayed. Additionally, the monitor can scale the overscanned video full screen
or ‘blackout’ the outlying area while maintaining a pixel to pixel display of the video inside the active scan area. To toggle
between these variations of Overscan use the 1:1 Pixel to Pixel mapping function. With both Pixel to Pixel mapping and
Overscan selected the area outside of the active scan will simply be blacked out, but the active video will not be scaled
outside of the 1:1 pixel scan. With Pixel to Pixel mapping off and overscan on the active scan area will be scaled full screen.
To view all active lines in Pixel to Pixel mapping mode make sure to turn Overscan off.

Sub Window
Largely deprecated for use on CFE2 equipped units. For side by side viewing on CFE2 units please use the
dedicated PAP function instead. The Sub Window function enables a still picture by live picture mode. After assigning
the Sub Window function to a function key the rst key press will result in a picture by picture display of your active input.
Once sub window mode is active you can press down on the H POS rotary knob to freeze the image on the right while the
image on the left will continue to show your live source. Once frozen you can also switch to any other input provided that the
resolution of that input is the same as the frozen source. To exit sub window simply press the assigned function key again.
Pixel Mapping
The Pixel Mapping function toggles between various available pixel mapping options. Options vary depending on the
incoming source, but may include the following:
1:1 Pixel Mapping: 1 pixel of incoming source is displayed as 1 pixel on-screen. If the incoming source resolution is less
than the total pixel count of the monitor your source will not ll the screen. This is often referred to as a postage stamp
representation of the source. If the incoming source resolution is greater than the total pixel count of the monitor then only
a portion of the incoming source will be shown on-screen, but the pixel position function (controlled by the H POS rotary
knob) may be used to view different sections of the 1:1 pixel representation. The monitor’s tally light will ash to remind
you that you are in 1:1 pixel mapping mode if any portion of the image is not shown on screen when in 1:1. This pixel
mapping mode can be combined with the SD Aspect Function (Anamorphic toggle) to activate a PAL SD FHA viewing
mode on the monitor. Once pixel mapping is active pressing down on the H POS knob will move the source to a different
on-screen position when pressed. Please note that if the incoming source is the same resolution as the panel the image
will not move. On all native 1920x1080 or 1920x1200 resolution monitors this mode will allow you to view any portion of
an incoming 2K source in an unscaled 1:1 on-screen representation.
2:1 Pixel Mapping (SD sources only): Every individual pixel of the incoming source is represented by four pixels onscreen.
This scaling algorithm is simple and allows for a largely artifact free double size version of the 1:1 Pixel Mapping Mode for
SD sources. While 2:1 scaling will still not ll the entire screen on a 1920x1080 resolution monitor, it does use a majority
of the vertical screen height and provides an excellent quality large scale representation of the SD source.
Full Screen Mapping: The full screen mode will scale the incoming source to ll as much of the screen as
possible while preserving the incoming source’s native aspect ratio. If the incoming source and panel share
the same resolution then there will be no difference between 1:1 pixel mapping and full screen pixel mapping.
Please note that the Overscan function will be represented differently based on the pixel mapping selection that you select.
Pixel Position
This feature is a part of the Pixel Mapping function and provides a toggle for positioning a 1:1 Pixel to Pixel mapped
representation of an incoming source on different areas of the screen. Once pixel mapping is active the H POS knob
will move the source to a different on-screen position when pressed. Please note that if the incoming source is the same
resolution as the panel the image will not move. The pixel position feature does not work unless the 1:1 Pixel to Pixel
mapping mode function is turned On. On all native 1920x1080 or 1920x1200 resolution monitors this mode will allow you to
view any portion of an incoming 2K source in an unscaled 1:1 on-screen representation.
H/V Delay Mode
This mode activates the Horizontal and Vertical Delay function to highlight the horizontal and vertical blanking portions of the
incoming signal. This can be used in conjunction with the Video Data feature for specic analysis of Horizontal and Vertical
Blanking data.
SD Aspect Ratio
Toggles between 4:3 and Anamorphic display of Standard Denition source. This function should be set to match the SD
source being viewed. The default setting is 4:3. If used in conjunction with 1:1 pixel mapping this function can also activate
a PAL SD FHA viewing mode.

Function Menu
Full Screen
This function simply stretches any incoming source to ll the entire screen. Unlike the Zoom feature this full screen stretch
does not preserve aspect ratio, but it does keep all of the active video signal present. Though the full screen mode has
many potential uses it was designed primarily for use with rasterizers that generate a 16:10 or 16:9 aspect 1024x768 output.
Enabling Full Screen mode allows the monitor to stretch the image as intended by the rasterizer.
Pixel Zoom
The Pixel Zoom function will generate a positionable and resizable 16:9 rectangle on screen. The rectangle may be moved
left or right using the H POS rotary knob and up or down using the V POS rotary knob. The Ref POS rotary knob may be
used to change the size of the onscreen rectangle. Using these three rotary knobs you can select any area on screen and
then press down on the F Stop rotary knob to zoom to the selected area. This pixel zoom feature is designed to work with
any HD signal formats. A ashing tally light will be activated on your monitor whenever you are in a zoomed mode as a
reminder/warning that the entire incoming signal is not being shown on the monitor. To exit the zoomed mode simply press
down on the F Stop rotary knob once more. To exit the Pixel Zoom feature entirely simply press the function button assigned
to this feature once more. The Pixel Zoom function allows for an essentially artifact free, high quality zoom on any portion
of an HD signal.
LUM Coloring
This function generates an articial luminance map of the incoming source that can be particularly useful in identifying
overexposed areas in any given shot. An onscreen scale helps indicate what articial color corresponds to what lumi-
nance level. The scale will follow the selected Waveform Scale set in the Scopes & VU Meters Prole 1: you can choose
from IRE, Digital Levels, or Voltage. In its default conguration the LUM Coloring feature will highlight all levels above
100IRE as white and all levels below 0 IRE as black. In default mode levels between 0 and 100 IRE will be color coded.
However, you can change the range of these color coded regions to any preferred setting by using the monitor’s rotary
knobs. The H POS rotary knob will adjust the lower limit of the lower color coded region. The V POS rotary knob will adjust
the upper limit of the lower color coded region. The Ref POS rotary knob will adjust the lower limit of the upper color coded
region. The F Stop Rotary knob will adjust the upper limit of the upper color coded region. These color coded ranges are
retained in memory so you can exit and reenter LUM Coloring Mode without having to reset your desired threshold levels.
3D Disparity
This feature only works when SDI 1 and SDI 2 are the same frame rate / resolution and are genlocked. When active a
disparity view will be shown on screen highlighting the difference between SDI 1 and SDI 2.

Measurement (10bit & 8bit)
This function allows you to get precise real time YRGB measurements of any point or area within your incoming signal.
With the Measurement function on you can use the H POS and V POS rotary knobs to position your crosshair over the point
within your source that you would like to measure. To reset the vertical or horizontal position of your crosshair back to center
simply press down on the corresponding rotary knob. You may also use the Ref POS rotary knob to select the size of the
sampling area for the measurement data (from a single pixel to a much larger area where the values will be an average of
all pixels within your dened sample area). As you move the crosshair your Measurement data will update in real time. The
Measurement function is available in a 10 bit mode or 8 bit mode and will provide you with the following data in real time:
• Line and Sample (Identies position of your crosshair)
• Y (Luminance as an absolute value between 0-255 for 8 bit and 0-1023 for 10 bit)
• Y% (Luminance level expressed as percentage)
• R% (Red level expressed as percentage)
• G% (Green level expressed as percentage)
• B% (Blue level expressed as percentage)
• R (Red level as an absolute value between 0-255 for 8 bit and 0-1023 for 10 bit)
• G (Green level as an absolute value between 0-255 for 8 bit and 0-1023 for 10 bit)
• B (Blue level as an absolute value between 0-255 for 8 bit and 0-1023 for 10 bit)
You can also press the Ref POS rotary knob to set a reference position onscreen. Once your reference position is set
it will be indicated on screen by a separate crosshair and you will be able to move the active crosshair to obtain a real
time readout of your current and reference positions as well as a separate readout of the precise difference between
current and reference locations. Please note that your reference position is both a spatial and temporal reference meaning
that the values indicated on screen for the reference are for that point on screen at the moment you set the reference.
Pressing the F Stop rotary knob button allows you to set your current crosshair position as an F-Stop reference
and view differences between this current position and your reference position as an F-Stop value. The F-Stop
reference feature is independent of the Ref POS feature. The F-Stop reference value will always be based on
the levels of your current active crosshair position at the precise moment when the F-Stop knob is pressed.
The crosshair color will follow the color selected for markers from the Marker Menu. To change the color of the Measurement
function’s crosshair change the Marker color.

Video Data
The Video Data function is a sophisticated signal data analyzer providing realtime decimal or hexadecimal readout of
video data at the pixel level. Data is represented in a 18 x 10 pixel grid where each pixel’s corresponding color is used as
the background color for that position within the grid. A small green rectangle on screen shows what area of the image is
currently being analyzed. The grid position as well as the data readout can be manipulated with the rotary knobs as outlined
below:
•
H POS rotary knob moves the selected analysis point horizontally on screen. Pressing down on this knob returns you
to the horizontal center of the screen.
•
V POS rotary knob moves the selected analysis point vertically on screen. Pressing down on this knob returns you to
the vertical center of the screen.
•
Pressing down on the REF POS rotary knob toggles you between YCbCr and RGB data readouts.
•
Turning the REF POS rotary knob toggles between decimal and hexadecimal data readouts.
•
Turn the F STOP rotary knob to toggle between 8 bit and 10 bit data readouts.
•
Pressing down on the F STOP rotary knob will cause the green position rectangle to ash white on screen to make it
easier to locate.
The Video Data function can also be used in conjunction with the H/V Delay function. When you enable H/V Delay with
Video Data active you will see a Full Raster position indication appear at the bottom of the Video Data window. This provides
your cursor position in the order Line then Sample relative to the full raster instead of just the active picture data. This can
be useful for nding and analyzing specic Horizontal and Vertical blanking data. If analyzing an interlaced source putting
the monitor in Noise Reduction processing mode will make the data easier to read.

CIE Measurement
This function allows you to get precise real time chromaticity measurements of any point or area within your
incoming signal as well as a real time plot of the measured position on a CIE color space diagram. With the CIE
Measurement function on you can use the H POS and V POS rotary knobs to position your crosshair over the point
within your source that you would like to measure. To reset the vertical or horizontal position of your crosshair back
to center simply press down on the corresponding rotary knob. You may also use the Ref POS rotary knob to select
the size of the sampling area for the measurement data (from a single pixel to a much larger area where the values
will be an average of all pixels within your dened sample area). As you move the crosshair your Measurement data
and plot will update in real time. The CIE Measurement function will provide you with the following data in real time:
• Line and Sample (Identies position of your crosshair)
• R’ (Red signal level percentage normalized to 10 bit data range)
• G’ (Green signal level percentage normalized to 10 bit data range)
• B’ (Blue signal level percentage normalized to 10 bit data range)
• Y% (Luminance level as percentage)
• x (CIE 1931 x chromaticity coordinate)
• y (CIE 1931 y chromaticity coordinate)
• u’ (CIE 1976 u’ chromaticity coordinate)
• v’ (CIE1976 v’ chromaticity coordinate)
• dE2000 (difference between current & reference expressed as dE2000 value)
You can press the Ref POS rotary knob to dene a reference position on screen. Once your reference position is set
it will be indicated on screen by a separate crosshair and you will be able to move the active crosshair to obtain a real
time readout of your current and reference positions as well as a separate readout of the precise difference between
current and reference locations. Please note that your reference position is both a spatial and temporal reference meaning
that the values indicated on screen for the reference are for that point on screen at the moment you set the reference.
Pressing the F Stop rotary knob button allows you to toggle the CIE color space diagram between CIE 1931 and CIE 1976
views. Your chromaticity plots are calculated using signal input data relative to your active Color Space selection on the Color
Management menu. Since your reference color gamut for chromaticity calculation follows this selection it allows you to have
Rec709, DCIP3, EBU, or SMPTE C as your reference color gamut. Please note that if you have the Color Space selection set
to Wide Gamut or a custom USER position the reference gamut used for the CIE Measurement feature will default to Rec709.
The crosshair color will follow the color selected for markers from the Marker Menu. To change the color of the CIE
Measurement function’s crosshair change the Marker color.

Function Menu
CIE Scope
This function maps out full frame signal data on a CIE diagram.
Signal levels are mapped out relative to your active color space
selection on the Color Management menu. Your active color
space selection is represented by a black triangle on the CIE
diagram.
If you have one of the custom User Color Space selections active
then this reference gamut will default to Rec709. In addition
to the primary color gamut indication (black triangle) you can
press down on the V POS rotary knob to generate a secondary
color gamut overlay as a grey triangle. This secondary color
gamut overlay is purely for comparative reference and does not
inuence how signal levels are mapped relative to the primary
color gamut selection.
The CIE diagram may be toggled between CIE 1931 and CIE
1976 views by pressing down on the H POS rotary knob.
This is a very processor power intensive feature and video quality, specically video sharpness, will be degraded while
active. For this reason we suggest using the CIE Scope feature as needed for specic color gamut analysis, but we do not
recommend leaving the feature enabled at all times.
4K Display
This feature is specically for monitoring Dual 3Gbps SDI (6G total bandwidth) 4K signals. In addition to this feature you may
also monitor a quarter resolution sampled image by sending one link of a Two Sample Interleave (2SI) Quad SDI signal.
Blue/Red/Green Only
This function activates the monitor’s Blue Only, Red Only, and Green Only modes. The respective channels can be shown
as just that color (Red, Green, Blue) or as monochrome.
Still Frame
This function allows you to freeze a video source at anytime. To unfreeze simply press the function key assigned to Still
Frame a second time.
Variable Wipe
When monitoring a Level B 3Gbps SDI signal comprised of two multiplexed 1.5Gbps HD-SDI signals the monitor will allow
you to view these signals in a vertical or horizontal split screen mode. By activating the Level B Variable Split function while
in split screen mode the positioning of the split can be adjusted using the H POS rotary knob. To quickly reset the split screen
positioning to the default center position simply press down on the H POS rotary knob while the Variable Wipe function is
active. Once your desired split screen wipe position is set you can turn the Variable Wipe function off to remove the guide
line between the two signals. This feature can also be used with the Horizontal and Vertical Split PAP modes using two
distinct signals fed to SDI 1 and SDI 2 on the monitor.
CX Scale
This scaling mode was designed specically to allow the scaled down and top centered ’gate check’ output from Codex™
ARRIRAW Recorders to be scaled full screen. Once assigned to a function key you can quickly enter or exit this custom
scaling mode with a single button press. Please note that some functions, such as markers, will not work while this mode is
active. However, other useful functions such as Waveform and Vector Scope will continue to operate normally.
Max Sharpness
In addition to the Sharpness Level Setting found on the Video Menu there is an assignable function called Max Sharpness
that will allow you to use a function button to toggle in/out of maximum sharpness mode quickly.

Focus Assist
The focus assist feature is comprised of two main parts: a numerical focus meter and a graphical focus highlight.
The numerical focus meter is shown on screen as your current focus value over your reference focus value (i.e.
560/300). When the focus assist feature is activated the rotary knob labeled Ref POS allows you to adjust the
reference focus value. The reference focus value represents the in-focus threshold for the focus highlight portion
of the focus assist feature. Adjusting the focus reference value higher means that the threshold at which the focus
highlight begins to trace in-focus items with a red boundary will be higher. In other words a greater degree of focus
will need to be achieved before the focus highlight feature is visible on screen as a red trace around in-focus objects.
C-Log, S-Log, S-Log2, S-Log 3 and BMD-Log Modes (Also selectable via Video Menu)
These modes allow for easier on-set monitoring of uncorrected C-Log, S-Log, S-Log2, S-Log3, or BMD Cinema Camera
Film Mode Output by roughly normalizing the footage. For all Log modes there is both a Standard and Full selection. The
Standard selection is suitable for most applications, but does clip highlights to allow for a brighter overall image. The Full
mode is best used for scenes with extremely wide latitude or scenes that are just very bright overall. Full mode preserves
the entire native latitude of the signal (nothing is clipped), but this can result in a rather dark image in many applications.
We provide both for this reason and you can quickly toggle between them as needed for different applications by assigning
these modes to function keys. These modes should only be used to offer on set viewers a rough normalization of the footage
to give them an idea of what the content might look like as a starting point in post production. In other words, it provides you
with a helpful tool to show on set viewers something that does not look ‘at’. These modes are not a replacement for full 3D
LUT transforms and not a substitution for proper color correction in post production applications. For more advanced Log
mode normalization use a custom 3D DIT LUT.
On-Screen Tally
When activated this function will generate an onscreen box that mirrors the status of the physical tally on the monitor’s bezel.
This can be particularly useful in applications where the physical tally may be obscured.
Zoom
This function zooms in on the incoming source until the entire screen is lled. This is strictly a zooming function and does
not alter the native aspect ratio of the source to ll the screen. When viewing a 4:3 source in Zoom mode on a 16:9 display
the aspect ratio of the visible video will remain 4:3 though the entire 16:9 screen will be lled. Essentially the Zoom mode
results in viewing a 16:9 section of the 4:3 source and is most useful when viewing a letterboxed SD source on a widescreen
display so that the letterboxing is not shown and only the video within the letterboxing is present.
DSLR Zoom
This function is designed to be used with many popular DSLR cameras that have preview/record monitoring output in 1080
& 480 resolutions. When DSLR Zoom is active the 16:9 area that will be recorded is scaled to ll the screen. On DSLR
cameras that switch from 1080 to 480 while recording the DSLR Zoom can be left on and the same correct aspect zoom will
be maintained regardless of whether the DSLR is in preview or recording mode. While DSLR Zoom is active the markers
may also be turned on and will be correct relative to the 16:9 video that will be captured to the camera’s memory card. Please
note it may be necessary to toggle the viewing mode preference (Info button on many DSLRs) to ll the screen correctly.

AFD (Active Format Description)
Anamorphic Desqueeze
This feature gives you the ability to desqueeze HD signals coming from cameras utilizing anamorphic lenses that may not
have a built in desqueeze feature of their own. This can be particularly useful in applications outside of post production,
especially onset monitoring, where de-squeezing such signals in real-time may otherwise not be possible. The desqueeze
modes available are 1.3, 1.3mag, 2.0, and 2.0mag. This feature is in addition to, and not a substitute for, the SD Aspect Ratio
function. To use this feature set Anamorphic Desqueeze to a function button, which will allow you to toggle the desqueeze on
and off. To set the desqueeze ratio/magnication go to the Video Menu and select your desired Anamorphic Desqueeze mode.
Anamorphic Desqueeze Modes
Activating this function will enable an Active Format Description
reader on the monitor that will provide both a text readout of AFD
data and display corresponding markers onscreen indicating
the portions of the image described by the AFD code. If no AFD
data is present while this feature is active the monitor will show
AFD: NONE in its AFD readout window.

Rec. Status Tally
This function is designed for use with cameras that output Start/Stop Record ags in the ancillary data of their serial digital
output. To activate this function set Rec. Status Tally to a function button and press that function button once. While active
the monitor’s red tally light will turn on when the Start Record SDI ag is detected and will turn the red tally light off when the
Stop Record SDI ag is detected.
PAP - Live Side by Side and Picture In Picture Viewing
On BM and CM series monitors (excluding CM-170W) corresponding controls can be found in the Video Menu to change
your PAP Secondary Input and PAP Mode, allowing you to select Picture In Picture, Picture And Picture (Side-By-Side
Monitoring), Picture On Picture, Vertical Split Screen, or Horizontal Split Screen. You can use the Variable Wipe function in
conjunction with the Vertical and Horizontal Split modes to set a custom split position other than the default of center screen.
As of rmware version 1.1.03-2144 you can page through the different PAP viewing modes using the up and down
arrow keys while the function is active.
Dual Link
CM & BM series units equipped with FSI’s second generation Color Fidelity Engine (CFE2) can support Dual Link SDI
(2 x 1.5Gpbs SDI) in addition to single link 3Gbps SDI for advanced signal format support. 3Gbps SDI is the preferred
connectivity method if available, but if single link 3Gbps SDI output from your source is not available you can use the Dual
Link function to activate Dual Link SDI support. To activate this capability rst select SDI 1 as your input. Then set Dual Link
to a function button. Then press that designated function button to turn on Dual Link mode. Once active you may need to set
your SDI format manually if no payload ID is present in the signal. To do this go to the SDI format section of the Video Menu
and select the appropriate format.
DIT LUT
Use to activate DIT (Look) LUTs stored to the monitor. Scroll between LUT positions using the monitor’s up and down keys.
See Appendix A for details on saving DIT (Look) LUTs to the monitor.

The Scopes & Audio Meters menu allows you to setup three Scopes & Audio Meters Proles, each capable of storing all of
the congurable settings found on the Scopes & Audio Meters Menu. To congure a Prole simply select the Prole number,
1 through 3, from the top of the Scopes & Audio Meters menu page. Once you have selected the desired prole number any
settings you change will become associated with that prole number. Changing from one prole to another from the Scopes
and Audio Meters menu will automatically recall your last settings for that prole. Once you have congured your Scopes
& Audio Meters proles you can assign a specic function key to a particular prole, which allows you to instantly switch
between different types of Scope and/or Audio Meters modes without having to go back into the onscreen menu.
Window 1 & Window 2
Two scope windows can be displayed simultaneously so you can view any two of the following modes at the same time:
Luminance (Standard Waveform), Vector Scope, Hue Vector*, RGB Parade, GBR Parade, RGB Overlay, YCbCr, YCbCr
Overlay, Column (YRGB Peak), Histogram, Color Histogram, RGB Histogram, Audio Loudness, Audio Phase, and Vertical
Audio Level Meter. Please note that displaying two Scope Windows at the same time will cause the Scopes to update more
slowly than displaying just one Scope Window. To display just one scope Window select OFF in the secondary window
selection. An additional audio level meter mode called horizontal audio level meter is also selectable. This mode displays
meters horizontally across the top of the screen, but cannot be used in conjunction with any other Scope modes. Waveform
Intensity and Gain can be adjusted by turning the H POS and V POS rotary knobs. Default Scope Intensity as
of rmware version 9.42 is 75% of the maximum level. Hue Vector Intensity, Gain, Reference Vector Angle, and
