Calibrite ColorChecker Video XL

Description

Calibrite ColorChecker Video XL charts make your workflow faster, more consistent and more colour-balanced. They allow everyone on your team, from producer to cinematographer to editor to colourist to work with consistent colour information. They save you time, from pre-production through production, and help you get to your creative look faster. Achieving the proper colour balance and exposure for video can be challenging. F-stops in cameras don’t always match. Ambient lighting conditions change. Multiple cameras and lenses have different looks, even if they are the same brand and model. All of this adds up to quality control challenges and increased workload in post-production for your colourist or editor. Here’s what Calibrite ColorChecker Video XL offers.

Video Colour Target

Speed up your colour grading workflow by achieving ideal exposure and colour balance, whether shooting with one camera or multiple. The colour chart includes a series of chromatic colour chips, skin tone chips, grey chips and illumination check chips. The layout is designed for ideal performance when used with vectorscopes and waveforms, whether on-camera or in software.

• Chromatic Colours:  two rows of six chromatic colour chips, both saturated and desaturated, specifically designed to align with the colour axis on a vectorscope. These colours provide two levels of colour information to achieve an ideal colour balance.
• Skin Tones:  ranging from light to dark with subtle undertones to better reproduce accurate flesh tones. This row of chips is positioned on the outer edge of the target for easy alignment.
• Large Grey Levels: four larger steps for even grey balance, including white, 40IRE grey, deep grey and high gloss black. These levels are ideal for determining proper exposure whether you use a waveform, zebras, or false colours.  Use these levels to align the exposure and contrast of the cameras you are matching and ensure that mid-tones are rendered accurately. These chips are positioned in the centre of the test target for maximum exposure, even on a wide set.
• Linear Greyscale: six colour chips for achieving an even grey balance. This row addresses highlight and shadow regions.
• Illumination Check Chips: black and white chips at two corners to better assist in determining even illumination across the target
