4KScope
4K Waveform Vectorscope Audio/Video Monitor
4KScope software provides a real time, professional quality signal analysis tool for on set, production, post production, and research and development environments. 4KScope is designed to monitor from 4096x2160 down to NTSC/PAL and everything in between. It supports SDR and HDR image analysis with support for 601, 709, 2020, HDR10, HLG and WCG color spaces. Multiple audio and video scopes can be selected in a variety of layouts depending on your monitoring needs. For SMPTE 2110/2022 monitoring, please see our Network Video Analyzer.
4KScope can display up to six video, data, or audio scopes at one time with pixel accurate 16 bit precision in SDR or HDR. 4KScope is ideal for HDR mastering, DIT and broadcast monitoring, signal QC and remote monitoring. It is available as software for Windows, macOS, and Linux, or a 1U hardware device from our partner CineSys.
