Ambi/Combi consists of an Ambi illuminator and Combi (combined) test targets.  Ambi/Combi enables you to run conventional test signals through the entire camera path - from optics to output amplifier - and to use these signals to precisely assess and align your cameras.  This system provides an objective and repeatable approach for measuring and enhancing video camera performance. 
 

Ambi/Combi at Work Illuminated from overhead, Ambi/Combi is used to align three robot cameras at Global Television Network.

 

For over 20 years, network television engineers and other critical users have relied on DSC Combi test transparencies to align and test cameras.  However, because typical rear-lit systems required cumbersome spheres and light boxes, Combis were seldom used in production.  Only engineers knew about the many benefits of these precise transparencies.

We believed that Combis could also be a useful production tool.  In consultation with producers and engineers, we developed Ambi™, a unique and robust illuminator that lights Combi test transparencies with the user's choice of illuminant.  Thus, the Ambi/Combi System was born - and is now equally at home in production and engineering environments.

 

You'll find Ambi/Combi at TV networks and stations, film studios, camera manufacturers, service shops, government agencies - anywhere excellent picture quality is a must.
