# Global Targets

Global targets let you add **reference overlays** to waveform, parade, and vectorscope displays at specific luma or RGB values. Use them to mark black/white levels, skin-tone ranges, broadcast limits, chart references, or any custom thresholds relevant to your project.

## Opening the Targets Window

| Method       | Action                                                        |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Menu**     | **Options > Targets**                                         |
| **Keyboard** | **⌘T** (macOS) / **Ctrl+T** (Windows) — toggle targets on/off |

## Target Types

| Type     | Description                                                                              |
| -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Luma** | Horizontal line at a specific luma level on the waveform. Displays the value as a label. |
| **RGB**  | Lines at specific R, G, B values on the RGB parade or waveform.                          |

## Adding Targets

In the **Target Sets** tab:

1. Click **Add Luma Target** or **Add RGB Target**
2. Set the value using the slider or type a number
3. Optionally assign a **custom colour** to the target line
4. Toggle individual targets on or off

### Luma Targets

* Set a luma value (in the current scale — IRE, percentage, 8-bit, 10-bit, etc.)
* Each luma target displays its value as a label on the waveform
* Drag targets directly in the waveform using drag-and-drop
* Add targets from the **Color Picker** with **Alt+Ctrl+Click**

### RGB Targets

* Set individual R, G, B values
* Targets appear on the RGB Parade and waveform

## Target Sets

Target sets let you save and recall groups of targets for different projects or standards:

* **Default** uses your current global target configuration
* **Built-in presets** provide ready-made chart references and are shown with a lock icon
* **Save** the current targets as a named set
* **Load** a saved set to switch between configurations quickly
* **Delete** sets you no longer need

This is useful when switching between projects with different level requirements (e.g. broadcast vs. web delivery, SDR vs. HDR).

### Built-in Presets

{% hint style="info" %}
Available from version **1.11.45**.
{% endhint %}

Built-in presets are read-only reference sets: select one to load its targets, then use **Save Current As...** if you want to make an editable copy.

<figure><img src="/files/usLQJVAwk1uwiicVaqDp" alt=""><figcaption><p>Built-in target set presets appear at the top of the Target Sets list with a lock icon</p></figcaption></figure>

Available presets include:

| Preset                      | Includes                                                                        |
| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **ColorChecker Classic 24** | 18 RGB colour patches plus 6 luma targets for the neutral ramp                  |
| **ColorChecker Video**      | Skin-tone references, 75% Rec.709 colour targets, and a 6-step luma ramp        |
| **DSC ChromaDuMonde 12+4R** | 12 vectorscope colour targets, 4 skin-tone references, and an 11-step luma ramp |
| **DSC ChromaDuMonde 28R**   | 24 vectorscope colour targets, 4 skin-tone references, and an 11-step luma ramp |

The ChromaDuMonde presets place the colour targets around the Rec.709 vectorscope positions and put the grayscale chips on the waveform as luma targets.

## Lock Controls

Individual targets can be **locked** to prevent accidental edits. When a target is locked:

* Its value cannot be changed via drag or direct edit in the UI.
* The target remains visible and active for reference.
* Unlock from the target row to resume editing.

This is useful when you have calibrated reference levels you want to protect while still adjusting other targets.

## Display Settings

The **Display Settings** tab controls how targets appear across all scopes:

| Setting                       | Description                                            |
| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| **RGB target overlay colour** | Colour used for RGB target lines                       |
| **Target thickness**          | Line thickness (1–5 pixels)                            |
| **Show labels**               | Display value labels next to target lines              |
| **Use small font for label**  | Use a compact font for target labels to reduce clutter |

## Keyboard Shortcuts

| macOS | Windows | Action                       |
| ----- | ------- | ---------------------------- |
| ⌘T    | Ctrl+T  | Toggle global targets on/off |

## StreamDeck / Action Editor

Targets can also be controlled via the [Action Editor](/nobe-omniscope/action-editor.md) or [StreamDeck](/nobe-omniscope/streamdeck/available-actions.md):

* **Toggle global targets** — enable or disable all targets
* **Toggle global RGB target by index** — toggle a specific RGB target
* **Toggle global Luma target by index** — toggle a specific Luma target
