Trigger Workflows
Since the SSM500 Trigger does have multiple independent image processing pipelines,
the color workflow is different to other cameras.
This chapter defines recommended workflows for best results.
Trigger mode supports independent color grading for the live and playback channel.
Depending of the need for the production, 2 different workflow can be defined:
•
Link Channels
(live = playback)
•
Pull Settings
(live → playback)
Important:
Both work flows have in common, that the selection of the color temperature /
white balance is defined from the live channel.
This means that
any recording
does include white balance from live settings at recording
time. Optionally the white balance can be modified/fine-tuned during playback if needed.
1.2.2.1
Link Channels
In the first workflow, both live and playback image processing are always in sync. The
operator must control only the live output, the playback output will follow automatically.
The command
“link_settings 1”
links both channels, see chapter 7.9 for details.
Advantages
•
Very easy to use
•
Record and play do always have the same look
•
Low workload for the operator
Disadvantages
•
It is not possible to “tweak” the playback without changing the live image
•
Risk: During playback, changes of live channel will show up directly “on air”

Pull Settings
In the second workflow, both live and playback image processing is independent. The
image engineer can control live and playback settings as wanted. In many cases one
