VPID Decode
4KScope displays the VPID (video payload identifier) of the input on the main interface. Holding your mouse over it will cause a tooltip to come up with detailed information on the VPID, as shown here:
Configuring Graticules
The Action Safe, Title Safe and Graphic Safe graticules can be configured to custom sizes. All sizes are based on a percentage of the video active picture, and are expressed as a value between 0.0 and 1.0. They are saved in the registry (Windows), 4kscope.plist (macOS) and 4kscope.conf (Linux). For each (SafeAction, SafeGraphic, SafeTitle), there is a group of settings: left, right, top, bottom. If the settings and group are deleted, the setting will be recreated with the default/SMPTE/EBU values. To move the graticule in 10% on all sides, you would set top/bottom/right/left to 0.1.
Configuring Logging Limits
When using the 4KScope/HDRScope logging feature, there are some default limits used to trigger events in the log. If you wish to change them, they are available in the main config.xml file, which can be edited with the included (Windows/Linux) DDRConfig tool:
RESTful API
4KScope, HDRScope, and the 2110Scope include an HTML/REST API and HTML UI pages.
