Post Production

Creative visualization, analysis and high quality test and measurement monitoring tools

With accelerating requirements in the post production space, facilities need test and measurement tools readily available to closely evaluate every technical element of video and audio.

Post production QC engineers must guarantee the content achieves the creative look that’s been planned, as well as ensuring content adheres to the correct format and regulations intended. It’s important they have the analysis and monitoring tools at hand to review the creative process including advanced picture diagnostic tools and the ability to analyze a variety of differing image formats, whether in SDR, HDR/WCG or SD/HD/UHD.

While offering more engaging and realistic viewing for audiences, HDR and WCG bring additional challenges with respect to the management of video brightness and color space for the industry. With multiple HDR related formats, HLG, PQ, S-Log3 and SR Live, there’s potentially many more conversions to perform, not only from SDR to HDR but also between the various formats. At the same time the look and feel of the SDR and HDR programs have to balance so that the Director is still able to freely cut between sources and tell the story as it unfolds.

To address these issues, an advanced set of visualization, analysis and monitoring tools are required for HDR and WCG enabled facilities, and to test video devices for compliance.
