METHOD, APPARATUS AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING REPRODUCIBLE DIGITAL IMAGERY PRODUCTS FROM FILM CONTENT

摘要

The present invention provides a method, apparatus and system for the transfer of a digital video content captured by a digital motion picture camera (310) to reproducible digital imagery products such as digital dailies. In one embodiment, the present invention provides a log video signal of said digital video content using information regarding the dynamic range of at least one of said digital video content or said digital camera. Said log video signal comprises at least grey scale values of the colors of the original video content for enabling a quantitative assessment of the video content capture information for providing repeatable and reproducible values from which a cinematographer/director of photography could order the color correction or adjustment of the video content in a reproducible manner understood by a color correction specialist or "timer".
