Manual Characterization

Use the Manual Characterization Assistant to characterize a display, such as a digital projector or HD/SD display. Patches for use in characterizing HD/SD displays and digital projectors are available on the KODAK Display Manager System CD in the Images/Patches folder or can be downloaded from http://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/products/dlmanage/kdmDown.jhtml. The patches can also be displayed from one of the following KODAK Video Tapes:

•KODAK Display Manager Dual-Length Color Patch Set / D5-HD Tape #D5C63M, 1080i/50

•KODAK Display Manager Dual-Length Color Patch Set / D5-HD Tape #D5C63M, 1080i/59.94

•KODAK Display Manager Dual-Length Color Patch Set / Digital BETACAM Tape #BCT-D64, NTSC

•KODAK Display Manager Dual-Length Color Patch Set / Digital BETACAM Tape #BCT-D64, PAL

•KODAK Display Manager Dual-Length Color Patch Set / HDCAM Tape #BCT-64HD, 1080i/50

•KODAK Display Manager Dual-Length Color Patch Set / HDCAM Tape #BCT-64HD, 1080i/59.94

The tapes contain 15 sec. patches for use with SEQUEL and X-RITE Sensors and 40 sec. patches for use with the PHOTO RESEARCH PR-650 and MINOLTA CS-100A Sensors. A slate indicates the start of each patch set.

NOTES:

•If you use a KODAK Video Tape for manual characterization, the measurements may be automatically entered into the Manual Characterization Assistant (depending on the device you are using).

•When manually characterizing, you can create and save characterization templates containing set patches and then load these templates as needed.

•You can also load a .chr file into the Assistant, if you want to confirm measurements on a set of patches, or to view data from a previous characterization.

•If you stop the characterization process before reading all of the color patches, save your work by going to File > Save Interim Characterization File. When you restart your work, load this file by going to File > Load Interim Characterization File.
