Description
TV LEV This lookup table maps the image data according to standard video levels (refer-
ence black and white) and provides highlight range beyond the reference levels.
This is the easiest way to transfer film content into data, as specially calibrated
monitors are not required on the downstream workstations. Most applications can
import data mapped to standard video level and visualize it correctly.
This transfer mode with CRT GAMMA ON is the best choice if final grading will be
performed on Specter Virtual DataCine VDC.
To set up the telecine for transfers in TV LEV mode the colorist works the familiar
way:
The DataCine is running in SDTV or HDTV video mode, color correction is done
using the standard video monitor as a reference.
With the monitoring set to the output stage while still in video mode, it is worth not-
ing that 0% (black) on the waveform monitor will be mapped to 64
d
, and 100%
(white) will be mapped to 940
d
when the image data is transferred.
For any signal peaks above 100% there is a little headroom up to 1019d. The val-
ues between the black and white reference levels will be represented with a linear
or CRT characteristic, depending on the CRT GAMMA setting on the film scanner.
