Colorimetric and Resolution requirements of cameras
Alan Roberts
ADDENDUM 1 : Sony HDCAM, HDW900
In boxes with numeric settings (e.g. –99~99), the values indicate the range, and zero means factory setting,
not zero effect, and no scales are given. For each item, the set value is given (if set), then the range offered
by the camera. Where two values are given, they are for film- or video-look, e.g. ON {f} OFF {v}.
