DSC labs camera alignment tools 

Camera  alignment  tools 

such  as  DSC  labs’  C

am  Align  Books

  and 

Chroma Du Monde

 can help speed up the camera alignment process by 

introducing  known  calibrated  constants  into  the  sampled  video  that 
should  produce  a  standard  VS-100  Waveform,  Parade  or  Vectorscope 
pattern.  The  live  lighting  and  camera  settings  can  then  be  adjusted  to 
produce a VS-100 pattern that matches a calibrated pattern.
