For those who want a a matched image off set and into post, a couple of questions.

Currently woring with a DP who requires this, and it sort of just works, so I started wondering:

Are you making sure that all monitors are calibrated with the last part in the chain as a reference?

Just curious here...

Macs, Snow leopard, RCX/Clipfinder here...


Don't see much gamma or colordrift at all when simultaniously sending the same image from camera (from card) and a copy of the same image through the rocket.

I still get to dial back to 320/250/whatever to reclaim the highlights and use a curve to compensate in the bottom to get it back to how the lowlights looked at redgamma/800, but the reference redcolor 800 image is matching what we have on monitor when shooting.

But that is of course after calibrating the monitoring chain.

How are you setting up you monitoringpath when you get problems?

Fun that there're no takers on this, as this has been a frequent complaint... -

What I'd do is to record a mixed bag of images, some charts, some "real" and take them into the "final" step of the signal chain, be that the online suite or the laptop web-transcodeing situation and look at the final files.

Hopefully that last step is properly calibrated....
And I'll make that a presumption. -

Then I would reference that image throughout the signnalchain back to the on-set preview, by playing back the same files at standard playback (720).

Here, it works pretty well. The image seems consistent throughout.

So. i am curious how you are callibrating the signalchain when it doesn't work.

Maybe there are easy solutions available.

Cheers
