Emulating the Film Color Model in Digital Movie Production

摘要

Color image reproduction systems may be designed for pleasing appearance and practical accommodation to the display environment, rather than for "realism." Motion picture films and television broadcasting are examples where the color space representing the reproduction is necessarily different (usually much smaller in its bounded parameter ranges, especially contrast) from the color space representing the original scene. A complication is that, increasingly, more than one reproduction target is required from the same scene capture; for example, a movie will be shown on network television or released on DVD, as well as being shown on the big cinema screen for which it was originally shot. These different targets involve physically different display devices and also different viewing conditions, notably in regard to dim-versus dark-surround display environments, but there can be differences in viewer expectations, too.
