How do you interpreted the false color charts ?

[Etienne Caron]

I understand the basic of the false color work, but i plan to put this chart on the LCD for the help of the DOP, but would like to know what exactly what to tell for each colors (IRE and stop meaning for each colors).

Thanks

Looks like your missing a vital bit of info from your jpeg of the false colour scale (i.e. the IRE values). Try this one:

Hi Dave,
where did you get those IRE values? They're not found in the operations manual (which is where I found the chart that Etienne shows). I was doing some testing, and I find that the IRE are different depending on whether you're monitoring in REDSpace or RAW. Have you found this to be the case also?

 

[Jason Diamond]

shouldn't they be different based on how you are monitoring? otherwise whats the point for not always viewing RAW? REDSpace reserves some high/low for you as a stop-gap so it only makes sense your false color would reflect that. no?

 

[Jean Déraps]

Yes, of course, but part of my point (which I guess I didn't express clearly) was that this should be noted on the scale that was given...was it REDSpace, RAW, REC709?

Thank David,

Where did you get that ? I mean, there is a new PDF manual for download ?

It was for REC 709
