DSC Labs ChromaDuMonde 28 Maxi CamAlign Chip Chart, 40x24"

Under the banner of DSC Labs, the ChromaDuMonde 28 Maxi CamAlign Chip Chart (40x24") stands as a high-quality, durable, and comprehensive tool for color calibration, designed to optimize the performance of virtually any video camera globally. This versatile chart incorporates the latest SMPTE 274M (ITU-R BT.709) international colorimetry standards, ensuring its universal compatibility and making it an essential asset for video professionals worldwide.

This easy-to-use chart is meticulously designed to enhance both engineering and production work. It serves as a reliable tool for evaluating a camera's color matrix and gamma using a waveform/vectorscope. The chart proves particularly useful in accurately reproducing skin tones and custom or challenging colors like turquoise and purple, which often occur at prism crossovers.

The ChromaDuMonde 28 Maxi CamAlign Chip Chart is also an invaluable tool for on-the-go camera adjustments, allowing users to instantly assess the impact of hue changes on surrounding colors. This feature is especially beneficial when working with "green screens" or other digital special effects.

For post-production convenience, the chart's information can be recorded to serve as a baseline reference, ensuring consistency across all scenes and setting changes. The chart generates a precise hexagonal-shaped display for HD, SD, and NTSC television images, with gamma set on your camera using the chart's accurate crossed grayscales.

Colorimetry can be set by positioning the chart's 24 color signals in HD vectorscope boxes and intermediate positions. While primarily designed for HD TV use, calibrated offsets are provided for those seeking to determine the theoretical colorimetric differences between HD and NTSC standards.

All ChromaDuMonde charts, including this model, feature a separation between the grayscale and color bars as suggested by Steve Lucas, along with DSC Labs' exclusive watermarked title and serial bar. This model also boasts 11-step crossed grayscales and 100 IRE white and true-black chips, along with four skin-tone patches, further enhancing its versatility and comprehensive nature.
