DSC Labs CamAlign CDM 28R Chroma DuMonde 21.25" x 13". Color Calibration Chart w/ Trumpets.

Today’s complex cameras require more than yesterday’s charts to function at their peak. That's why we created colorful new ChromaDuMonde (CDM) Series CamAlign Chip Charts!

The CDM 28R Cam Align ChromaDuMonde's name says it all. High performance charts with at least 12 precise colors, CDM charts are made to the latest SMPTE 274M (ITU-R BT.709) international colorimetry - the perfect choice for use with any television system, anywhere!

Multi-Tasking, Multi-Standard Charts! Whether used in production or in post, new ChromaDuMonde charts generate precise hexagonal-shaped displays for HD, SD and NTSC television images. After gamma is set using the charts’ precise crossed grayscales, colorimetry can be set to HD, SD and NTSC standards by positioning the charts’ 24 color signals in their boxes and intermediate positions. While designed for HD TV calibrated offsets are provided for the purists who want to know the theoretical colorimetric differences between the systems.

Today's DPs, producers, digital/special effects technicians and camera operators increasingly view DSC charts as necessities for optimizing their high performance cameras, and the production value of their images. ChromaDuMonde is the latest addition to DSC's family of production-friendly CamAligns.

In Engineering ... Use ChromaDuMonde to evaluate and adjust a video camera’s color matrix and gamma with a waveform/vectorscope. Charts are especially useful for accurately reproducing skin tones, custom and difficult colors - purple and turquoise, and other colors which occur at prism crossovers.

In Production ... Check and adjust cameras on the fly, and immediately see the effect of any hue changes on surrounding colors. When producing "green screen" and other digital/special effects, ChromaDuMonde charts provide precise information about how camera hue adjustments are affecting the full gamut of color reproduction. Image quality and consistency can be enhanced by recording chart information to tape or film, and using it in post as a baseline production reference. For scene-to-scene consistency, record a few chart frames with every lighting change - to facilitate/expedite color-correcting, matching footage, and digital/special effects. Chart information provides a foundation for users’ creativity and innovation!

Because we have these charts are made to order, expect a 5-10 day lead time.
