Description: Digital HDTV production and digital movie making present important and challenging applications of colour science, colour image coding, and colour management. This course explores the application of colour science to HDTV and digital cinema. The technologies of HDTV and D-cinema - from camera and scanner technology, through processing, to digital cinema display equipment and film recorders - are detailed. The application of colour science to each of these steps is explained, and how colour appearance models are finding new applications in this domain is outlined.
Benefits: This course will enable the attendee to:
Intended Audience: Scientists; programmers; visual effects and post-production supervisors; compositors; digital imaging technicians; and video, HDTV, and digital cinema engineers, will all find the course useful.
