The KODAK Display Manager System lets you display a scanned negative image as it will appear projected via a motion picture film projector or a video image as it will appear on a broadcast monitor. The KODAK Display Manager System interfaces with a number of displays including computer monitors, HD/SD displays, and digital projectors.
When creating a print film look, the system emulates the photochemical process of motion picture print film. The results are placed in a LUT (Look Up Table). This LUT can be exported and used by supported imaging applications during the post production process.
When creating a video look, the system emulates a broadcast video display.
Before emulating a look, you must first calibrate and characterize your display. We recommend that you calibrate and characterize your display:
•Before the start of a new project
•If the computer goes into sleep mode or screen saver mode
•Whenever you turn on the computer or display
•If the display has been jarred or moved
•(CRT/LCD monitors) Roughly every 6 to 8 hours; a minimum of once a day
•(HD/SD video) Once a day
•(Digital projectors) Once a week
