A Vectorscope is a tool used mainly in video productions as a debugging aid. It basically shows you color information.
The display represents color in a circle or pie and each square (R,M,B,C,G,Y) represents a pure primary or secondary color according to the NTSC or PAL standards. No red, magenta, blue, cyan, green or yellow color is expected to be brighter/more saturated than the squares (ie. go beyond them).
Each color of the color bars, for example, is expected to land perfectly within each of the squares.
However, when dealing with computer graphics or bad video, it is perfectly possible for a signal to create colors that are too bright or saturated for the TV standards. If a color is too bright or saturated, it might lead to problems in the broadcasting of the transmission and may force the tv channel to have to desaturate all your image.
