VIDEO COLOR TARGET

Specifically designed for today’s video production workflow. The Video Colour target includes four rows of colour chips designed for video capture and editing, giving you a powerful chart to speed up colour grading.

• Chromatic Colours: six chips specifically designed to align with the colour axis on a vectorscope
• Skin Tones: ranging from light to dark with subtle undertones
• Linear Grayscale: six steps for even grey balance, including highlight and shadow regions
• Highlight and Shadow Greys: six black and white patches, including a high gloss black to capture the full range of your video camera

GRAYSCALE TARGET

Enhanced for achieving ideal camera exposure for video production. The Grayscale target includes 3 rows of white, 40IRE grey, and high gloss black colour chips. This target helps you:

• Align the exposure and contrast of cameras you may be matching
• Ensures that mid-tones, such as flesh tones, are rendered accurately

WHITE BALANCE TARGET

Starting with an accurate white balance ensures the colours you capture are true and provides a point of reference for post-shoot editing. The White Balance target is a spectrally flat target that provides a neutral reference point across mixed lighting conditions that you encounter during a video shoot. Since the target reflects light equally across the visible spectrum, creating an in-camera custom white balance can properly compensate for varying lighting.

With this colour chart, you’ll be able to:

• Eliminate colour casts
• Improve the colour preview on your camera’s display so your histograms are more reliable
• Make post production colour correction and editing faster and easier by eliminating the need to neutralize each frame individually

Why can’t I use just any white object for white balancing?

White balancing on a piece of paper or other Gray element in the scene may seem like a simple workaround, but most objects are not actually neutral under all lighting conditions; and they’re certainly not consistent. An inaccurate white balance will result in colour casts, and a lack of consistency between lighting conditions, making colour corrections extremely time consuming.
