DSC adds film-friendly update to camera chart

Toronto, Canada - DSC Labs, an eco-friendly developer of innovative products for image quality improvement, announced a breakthrough update to its ChromaDuMonde HD-standard camera test chart. Designed specifically for DPs, producers, digital/special effects technicians, and camera operators with a background in film, the new ChromaDuMonde 18G will include an 18% spectrophotometrically neutral gray background to optimize the production value of images and high-performance cameras.

Created to reflect the latest ITU-R BT.709/SMPTE 274M international colorimetry standards, the ChromaDuMonde provides precise information about how camera hue adjustments affect the full gamut of color reproduction. The ChromaDuMonde generates precise hexagonal-shaped displays for HD, SD, and NTSC images — and can be especially useful when accurately reproducing skin tones, or matching custom and difficult colors.
