individual RED sensor profiling - part of the manufacture?

[Brett Harrison]

I understand there is variance between the same model of camera. I.e. each RED looks slightly different.

Is there a process during manufacture where the characteristics of the camera are embedded in the system so that transforming to XYZ means you're truly in a device-independent colour space - or is there benefit in profiling one's own camera for greater colour accuracy?

Every light and lens and to some degree OLPF and fabric and paint and atmosphere will vary. Any calibration you perform would only be calibrated under that exact light with that exact material with that exact lens with that exact sensor at that exact temperature. I wouldn't think it's worth it.

You really come to understand this the first time you shoot 3D.

It's been a heartbeat since 3D was part of my life, but VR is occasionally a thing. I profile every camera and lens to match. It's worth the time and effort to do so especially with lens variations between copies.
