Topic: Color Correcting On-Set Monitors

Our new BrightEye 72 is no ordinary converter. It's much, much more. It has a host of features --

  • Built-in Test Patterns

  • Closed Caption Decoding

  • Timecode Burn-in

  • Audio Level Meters

  • H&V Shift and Horizontal Mirror

  • Graticule Overlay

And...A complete Proc Amp and RGB Color Corrector.

Here's a situation where that color corrector makes a BIG difference. Putting a television monitor on set, where it will appear in the scene on camera presents a difficult challenge. After the scene is lit and the camera is white balanced to the studio lighting, the on camera talent will look correct. But unless the color temperature of the monitor matches the studio lighting, the color in the images on the monitor will be incorrect when in the camera shot. This App Note shows how easy it is to fix this problem with our BrightEye 72 converter.

Re: Color Correcting On-Set Monitors

We use BE72s on all of our monitors in the studio.  They make color correction so much easier.  And an added bonus...we occasionally use our studio for meetings and play content for the meetings on the monitors in the studio.  The color correction can easily be taken out so the monitors look good to the 'human eye'.  When the meeting is over, we just put the correction values back in so the monitors look good on camera again.  Try doing that the 'old school' way...you'd be tweaking monitors all day!
No more hauling monitors in to the shop and taking them apart...with a vector scope and a laptop we can set the monitors up in just a few minutes.
