Have you used GIOSCOPE?

I have Phil , Thanks for getting back I realize it’s essentially the same idea. Is there a way to change the colors on the gioscope to mimic the layout of El Zone. I only ask because the DoP on a current job brought it up. Seems some guys really like it.

If people are looking for a similar-ish experience, when you load up GIOSCOPE you can toggle off the middle stops so they will appear gray. I personally would recommend leaving the red to black highlight clipping roll-off as that really does a good job of informing where hot spots are with very visual notification of where clipping is occurring.

I can make something which gets hairy, but RED would need to integrate this in the SDK to work "right" with the sensor data, but considering they already have GIOSCOPE perhaps assigning colors would be the feature request.
