FrontBox
Series ... or Regular CamAligns?
Like regular CamAligns, FB Series Charts
are wide dynamic range and washable. While
regular CamAligns are mounted on aircraft
aluminum, light weight FrontBox charts are
acrylic-mounted. Manufactured to slightly
wider tolerances than regular CamAligns,
production-oriented FB charts do not include
individual calibrations. For critical
engineering applications, please see
CamAlign Chip Charts.

Multi-tasking charts. Say
goodbye to your old chip charts and begin using
high-performance FB Series CamAligns. Aligning
cameras before you shoot can minimize time in post.
Also, shoot your FB chart as an on-scene reference, to
speed up color correction and the matching of footage.
Easy to use. Instructions and
on-chart checklist ensures users enjoy the full
benefit of DSC's FB charts. Chart output is
easily interpreted on familiar waveform and
vectorscope displays, both in camera set-up and
post.
FB model for every budget and
application. Your
choice of - Professional, Standard and College.
These compact double-sided charts save time and storage
space, and are economically priced for those on a
budget.
Essential tools for HD.
Broadcast camera factory
presets are often not enough to ensure optimal image
reproduction! Use FrontBox charts to match
your camera's set-up with your project's
distribution mechanism.
Improve the contrast range of your
images. The dynamic
range of today's cameras and reproduction systems is
over 10 times greater than that of a typical greyscale
chart (50:1). Wide dynamic range grayscales on
CamAlign and FB charts generate consistent signals more
representative of those found in real-life.
Make shadows neutral, every time.
Reproduce grays faithfully through the entire tonal
range, using "color-true" grayscales. Made with
unique technology (patented), DSC's grayscale steps are
spectrophotometrically neutral.
Match and "paint" cameras with new 709
colors.
DSC uses the latest ITU-R
BT.709/SMPTE 274M reference primaries in all its test
products. Professional model charts include a
table of aim values and instructions. Adjust color
controls to international standards, or develop your own
unique, repeatable "look".
