Once invited by the Administrator, you can view live feeds and recordings shared with you, and communicate with other users by downloading Teradek TV App. The Teradek TV App shows your assigned projects, and within each project, you'll find spaces for interacting with feeds and other users. Access to these spaces is managed by your administrator.

5. Tap the camera icon to select which camera feed is displayed in Single View or as prioritized in Multi-View configurations.
Collaborate With Users Using Text/Voice Chat
Teradek TV enables communication among connected users through integrated text and voice chat capabilities. Activation of this collaboration feature is exclusively managed by the administrator or coordinator through the admin page and must be enabled before sharing the workspace.

3. To communicate with crew members via voice chat, tap the Join tab (green phone icon) at the top of the screen.
- Tap the user group icon to view the other crew members in the chat. Tap the microphone and/or the speaker icon to mute your mic or speaker.
- Tap the Leave tab (red phone icon) to end the call.
Text Chat
You can text with other people in a shared space by tapping the chat icon. Text messages are only visible for currently connected users and are not saved for later viewing.
Viewing Tools
To access the Viewing Tools, tap the Tools icon at the bottom of the screen. To adjust the settings or modes of a Viewing Control, tap the Gear icon in the corresponding thumbnail.
FALSE COLOR
False color helps set the correct exposure using an IRE color guide for reference. As the camera's aperture is adjusted, image elements change color according to luminance or brightness values. There are three false color modes: Discrete, Full, and Zebra.
PEAKING
Peaking highlights the sharpest areas of the video to show which parts of the image are in focus. As you adjust the camera's focus, it emphasizes the high-contrast, in-focus edges by increasing saturation at those edges. Raising the threshold in the will make more areas of the image appear "in focus."
FOCUS ASSIST
Unlike Peaking, Focus Assist analyzes the video and highlights the edges by applying a color to them. You can change the Focus Assist color by accessing the Focust Assist Settings and selecting a new color. The intensity threshold can be adjusted by dragging the slider to the desired level.
DISTORT
The Distort tool lets you view live camera footage without the distortion typically caused by anamorphic or non-standard lenses. Anamorphic lenses are commonly used to maximize the vertical resolution of a camera's sensor, especially when capturing cinematic widescreen footage.
MAGNIFY
The Magnify tool allows you to zoom in and examine specific video elements. Tap the MAGNIFY thumbnail, then drag the magnifying window to any area on the screen you want to analyze.
FRAME LINES
The Frame Lines tool helps you compose your shot with potential cropping in mind by allowing you to add and customize up to two frame guides based on specific aspect ratios. You can also adjust key elements such as frame color, center mark type, surrounding area opacity (mask), and frame size (Safe Zone slider).
LUT TOOL
With the LUT tool, you can select a preconfigured LUT from the List of LUTs and apply it to your video. You can then use the LOOK SPLIT-SCREEN slider in the LUT settings to compare the adjusted video with the original color.
HISTOGRAM
The Histogram tool visually represents the color and luminance distribution of your video. It offers three types of histogram displays: Luma, RGB Parade, and RGB Overlay. The X-axis shows the intensity of the Luma, red, green, or blue components, while the Y-axis indicates how frequently each component appears in the image. Histograms are valuable for assessing an image's overall exposure and color balance.
WAVEFORM
Waveforms help assess exposure and color balance within different areas of a frame. Unlike Histograms, the Waveform display shows luminance from top to bottom. The bottom represents the lowest saturation or intensity of the color values (Red, Green, Blue, or Luma), while the top represents the highest saturation or intensity. The values are plotted from left to right, corresponding to their position in the video.
VECTORSCOPE
The Vectorscope measures and displays the color distribution in your video. It offers two modes: chroma components (Cr/Cb) and hue and saturation (H/S). In Cr/Cb mode, the color is represented by a series of connected points on a circular scale, known as a graticule. In H/S mode, the Vectorscope displays hue and saturation, with the center representing zero saturation and the outer ring indicating maximum saturation. The indicators on the scale correspond to specific hues, including red, green, blue, yellow, cyan, and magenta.
