Color and Video Correction Examples Using the 9084

Shown below are examples of using the 9084 to provide parametric color and

video correction.

On-Set Monitor Color Correction Example

A typical use for the 9084 Color Corrector function is to provide color

correction for a monitor when an anchor desk set includes a monitor, as

shown in Figure 3-9.

In the example setup shown in Figure 3-9, a monitor is located behind the

anchor desk. When the camera includes the m onitor in its shot, typically the

color balance of the monitor will appear to be incorrect due to the

characteristics of the camera responding differently to the spectral light

emissions from the monitor as compared t o the natural light spectra emissions

that exist across the set overall. This monito r color balance problem is a

function of the camera(s), and can vary with different camera models.
