DSC Labs Combi DX-1 Test Target (ColorBar / GrayScale + 4)

While the DSC Labs Combi DX-1 Test Target (ColorBar / GrayScale + 4) may appear to be a simple chart, it is in fact a comprehensive tool for calibrating color accuracy and resolution in video cameras. This versatile test target combines both colorbar and grayscale patterns, making it an all-in-one solution for photographers and videographers seeking to ensure optimal image quality.

The Combi DX-1 Test Target is equipped with six primary vector colors and four skin tone patches, providing a wide range of hues for precise color calibration. Its 11-step crossed grayscale facilitates meticulous grayscale testing, while the center 700 mV (100 IRE) white chip and two true black chips aid in achieving perfect contrast.

Beyond color and grayscale, this test target also includes hyperbolic resolution wedges up to 1200 TV LPPH (15 MHz), and calibration data, functioning as a precision optical signal generator. This feature enables the production of waveform and vectorscope displays akin to standard electronic test signals, further enhancing its utility.

The Combi DX-1 Test Target is not just for single camera use. It can also be employed to align multiple cameras using the color patches, and for coordinating different types of lighting such as quartz, HMI, and fluorescent. This ensures consistent image quality across various shooting conditions and equipment setups.

With a maximum tolerance level of 5 CIE LXUXV units and an RMS maximum of 2 units, the Combi DX-1 Test Target guarantees accurate and reliable results. Although it is designed for use with the Ambi illuminator, it is compatible with other light boxes or spherical illuminators, demonstrating its adaptability.

In summary, the DSC Labs Combi DX-1 Test Target (ColorBar / GrayScale + 4) is a professional, accurate, and comprehensive tool for photographers and videographers who prioritize image quality and consistency.
