Baselight colour correction

Traditional colour correction has serious restrictions. One can change only either the exposure (light level) or the colour of the film. However, as we have already experienced with the telecine Da Vinci team, with digital colour correction only our imagination limits our possibilities.

Some examples:

• We can change the colour of the light, mid-toned and dark parts of a picture separately. (primary colour correction)
• Parts of the picture can be changed on the basis of colour parameters or by marking off certain shapes (secondary or selective colour correction). The technology itself also changes, as if it would switch from linear to non-linear editing. We can access any scene without "winding the film". Any modification in the picture can instantly be seen and stored. We can try out several versions without making a copy, thus using a cost effective way in finding the best possible look.

Baselight Colour Correction system in our laboratory:

• Hardware based calibration chain in order to maintain perfect colour reproduction in the cinema
• Real time, resolution independent
• Telecine style and traditional primary colour correction
• Unlimited secondary colour correction
• Shapes defined by Bezier curves
• Da Vinci style board
• Picture analysis, monitor probe for daily calibration
• Editing, compositing functions, handling of different resolution files on the same timeline
• More than 6 TB storage, 3X10 bit logarithmic file formats (cineon, DPX)
