LEADER Instruments brings you a new way of monitoring waveforms with CINELITE II
With production budgets continuing to be squeezed, production companies are having to be more creative, when it comes to monitoring on-set production. LEADER Instruments Corporation will be demonstrating its ability to provide production staff with simple and intuitive tools to instantly analyses images on-set and then correct them, so that shooting and lighting errors don’t result in additional costly delays during grading.
The demonstration will center on LEADER’s CINELITE II suite of products that provide productions with a new way of monitoring waveforms. Rather than using traditional waveform displays like Vector scope and Picture waveforms, LEADER’s CINELITTE II displays real-time picture analysis, so it is easy for production staff who are not familiar with waveform monitors to immediately spot a potential problem with either the camera set-up or lighting and make the necessary adjustments.
CINELITE II includes CINELITE a feature that allows you to put the cross bars on any location of the picture display and view the luminance, RGB levels and relative exposure at that point.
- F-Stop Display Mode (relative exposure) allows you to easily and accurately measure exposure values directly from the camera signal. This feature is fundamentally different from conventional spot measurement. It is especially useful for marking lighting arrangements when filming.
CINELITE II also includes CINEZONE, which allows you to achieve a flawless picture when filming. This feature is especially useful for making lighting arrangements. You can easily and accurately confirm dark areas with approximately 5% luminance, areas with approximately 45% of the luminance of the film subject, and bright areas with luminance of 80% or more.
CINE Search displays a specified luminance level ±0.5% using green on an otherwise monochrome picture display.
5 Bar Display shows Y,R,G,B levels as well as Y + C levels, allowing easy RGB and composite gamut monitoring. Levels are user settable. Gamut error detection is essential otherwise production material will most likely not be usable. In addition to the 5-Bar Display, an on-picture gamut error indication facilities quick determination of gamut levels and helps eliminate the problem.
On-Picture Gamut Display. Shows where gamut violation is occurring. Reducing the camera’s Matrix Gain adjustment (set at MAX) will cause the gamut indication to disappear. A great way of setting your camera to produce the maximum amount of colour without violating gamut conditions.
