Colour /Hue Adjustment (PARADE RGB / YCbCr)
1. Under the same on set lighting conditions aim the camera at a colour reference chart (such as DSC labs’
Chroma Du Monde).
2. Adjust the colour level of the camera to give its image the required warmer or colder look according to your
preference.
3. Select PARADE mode (RGB or YCbCr) on the VSM-100 using the NEXT MODE option.
4. PARADE displays the characteristic colour levels on a scale. If the camera is pointed at the Chroma Du Monde
reference chart, the operator can now set the camera to standardised colour levels such as R:650mv G:600mv
B:600mv. These adopted set reference points can then ensure image consistency in future production runs
and any post production grading.
5. Once the first camera is correctly set for colour select TOOLS> TRACE MEMORY> SAVE TRACE to save the
current parade trace from the first camera.
6. Now connect VSM-100 to the second camera on the set. Adjust the white, black balance and luminance on the
next camera as described earlier.
7. Now adjust the colour on the second camera output so that it matches the saved Parade from the first camera.
The same procedure can be repeated for any remaining cameras.
Set your own standard (The colour of the image above is leaning toward red)
