# 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.

Luma targets displayed on the Waveform scope

## 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.

Built-in target set presets appear at the top of the Target Sets list with a lock icon

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 ## Related * [Waveform](/nobe-omniscope/scopes/waveform.md) * [Keyboard Shortcuts](/nobe-omniscope/settings-and-preferences/keyboard-shortcuts.md) * [Available Actions](/nobe-omniscope/streamdeck/available-actions.md) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
