Color Management
ARRI
ARRICUBE Color Management System
As an open designed system, ARRI uses the well-established ICC (International Color Consortium) standard for the Color Management. The main idea of the ICC standard is to profile each device of the chain separately. The profile is used to transform the colors into a common color space, overlapping all possible color gamuts.The advantage of this common space is that it reflects the color and luminance sensation of the human eye as accurately as possible, different color gamuts can be matched. ARRI offers the Color Management for the ARRILASER and also works together with industry partners in the color-grading field.
Kodak
Kodak Display Manager System
The KODAK Display Manager System is an easy-to-use way to display an accurate simulation of projected print film on all supported display devices throughout the postproduction workflow. It calibrates, characterizes and transforms from print density to device-specific code values-simulating the print film look, and assures that the look displayed is within the true film print color space-a simulation of projected print film.
Light Illusion
ARRICUBE Color Management System
LightSpace CMS will enable SCRATCH users to provide a completely calibrated color workflow for all grading and finishing operations, guaranteeing accurate and repeatable color calibration regardless of the eventual distribution and display requirements.
THX cineSpace
