1995 SMPTE / USC SEMINAR

UNDERSTANDING THE USE OF COLOR IN FILM, VIDEO, AND COMPUTERS

Saturday, May 20, 1995
University of Southern California, School of Cinema-Television
Norris Cinema Theatre
Registration opens at 8:00am; Seminar starts at 9:00am

The penetration of digital technology into the capture and display of
moving images has added more potential confusion to a process that is
already little understood.  Not only do image makers need to master
the film-video interface and the analog-digital video manipulation
process, digital techniques have all but replaced optical and
photochemical methods for film visual effects. And now multimedia
rears it head, so that film and video segments must be displayed with
fidelity on computer monitors as well.

Accurate color reproduction -- as viewers define it -- is at the top of
everyone's list of essential ingredients for entertainment product. 
But what is "accurate," and how do we achieve the desired result when
film, video, and computers are so different -- even divergent -- in the
way they capture, manipulate, and display color?
