The Broadcast Safe Filter
The Broadcast Safe filter gives you a fast way to deal with clips that have luminance
and chrominance levels which exceed the broadcast limits for NTSC and PAL video. This
filter automatically uses the proper settings for NTSC or PAL, based on the sequence
settings that are being used. The default settings work for most situations.
 Mode: The Mode pop-up menu lets you quickly set the maximum allowable chroma
levels. The normal setting of 120 should work in most situations; however, more
conservative settings are available.
If you choose Custom from the Mode pop-up menu, you can use the sliders in the
Luminance Limiting and Saturation Limiting areas to adjust your settings. With all
other options, the sliders have no effect.
