ChromaDuMonde Options (Enhance your CDM)

Resolution

 The above charts can be ordered with hyperbolic resolution trumpets up to 1200 TV LPPH (15 MHz), for checking camera and monitor resolution.  The resolution trumpet upgrade replaces the true black strips on the outer edge of the pattern. Add the suffix “R” to the end of the chart code to include resolution trumpets in your order.

CaviBlack

 Any pattern with a DSC true black patch in the center can be ordered with a DSC Labs Cavity Black, for the ultimate black reference tool. Attached to the back of any CDM pattern, the CaviBlack folds out for usage and then back in for quick storage. See the accessories section to find out more.

The ChromaDuMonde®

ChromaDuMonde says it all - Colors of the World - Conforms to the International 709 Standard from the ITU in Geneva. The perfect choice for international production!

Multi-Tasking, Multi-Standard Charts!
ChromaDuMonde charts generate precise hexagonal-shaped vectorscope displays.  After setting gamma using a CDM's precision crossed grayscales, colorimetry can be adjusted for accurate color reproduction or your own unique "Look".

Today's DPs, producers, digital/special effects technicians and camera operators increasingly view DSC charts as necessities for optimizing their high performance cameras, and the production value of their images.  ChromaDuMonde is the latest addition to DSC's family of production-friendly CamAligns.

In Engineering

Use ChromaDuMonde to evaluate and adjust a video camera’s color matrix and gamma with a waveform/vectorscope.  Charts are especially useful for accurately reproducing skin tones, custom and difficult colors - purple and turquoise, and other colors which occur at prism crossovers.  

In Production ...
Check and adjust cameras on the fly, and immediately see the effect of any hue changes on surrounding colors.  When producing "green screen" and other digital/special effects, ChromaDuMonde charts provide precise information about how camera hue adjustments are affecting the full gamut of color reproduction.  Image quality and consistency can be enhanced by recording chart information to tape or film, and using it in post as a baseline production reference.  For scene-to-scene consistency, record a few chart frames with every lighting change - to facilitate/expedite color-correcting, matching footage, and digital/special effects.  Chart information provides a foundation for users’ creativity and innovation!
