Resolution (Res.)

 The charts listed above as having the Res. option (Yes) available, 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 upgraded 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's name says it all (Colors of the World).  High performance charts made to the latest SMPTE 274M (ITU-R BT.709) international colorimetry - the perfect choice for use with any television system, anywhere!


 

Multi-Tasking, Multi-Standard Charts!
Whether used in production or in post, new ChromaDuMonde charts generate precise hexagonal-shaped displays for HD, SD and NTSC television images.  After gamma is set using the charts’ precise crossed grayscales, colorimetry can be set by positioning the charts’ 24 color signals in their HD vectorscope boxes and intermediate positions.  While designed primarily for HD TV calibrated offsets are provided for the purists who want to know the theoretical colorimetric differences between HD and NTSC for example. 

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!
