Description of 6 Sector Color Processor
Thomson film scanning solutions are provided with a standard primary color cor-
rector (RGB) which offers extensive range and latitude combined with precise digi-
tal control.
This correction is real-time and resolution-independent, up to 2K. So correction for
any output format is supported, even data, with transparent switching between the
formats.
There are applications where the basic primary functionality need be enhanced
with basic secondary color control, the 6SC Processor.
This option is a cost-effective solution designed to be used with a controller only,
or to enhance the features offered by third party color correctors available on the
market today.
Dailies, best light transfers and the growing adoption of downstream disk-based
color correction systems require a high-quality basic grade before the finishing
touches are applied downstream.
Just like the primary color correction system, the secondary color corrector is real-
time, resolution-independent and working with the full film color space and at full
film resolution.
Features
The basic secondary color processor extends the primary color corrector already
supplied with Thomson film scanners and vastly increases the functionality and
flexibility of the basic telecine system.
Selected colors can be changed in luminance, saturation and hue across a wide
range.
The qualification of the selected color is defined by hue, with six independently ap-
plicable sectors: red, yellow, green, cyan, blue and magenta.
To increase creative latitude we also refine the qualification of the color by adjust-
ment of the position and width of each sector. Also provided is a master satura-
tion control.
Another very powerful feature within this option is a limiter and color legalizer.
The limiter works in the luminance channel and can be switched between hard and
soft clipping.
The legalizer (illegal colors) is switchable (on / off) and works in the chrominance
channel.
The color tint (hue) is always maintained but the saturation is reduced in that partic-
ular picture element.
The RGB output stage of the telecine and these features are an innovative way to
maintain creative latitude and also ensure that within legal color ranges, the user
is making possible the use of highly saturated colors without having to worry about
illegal colors.
