INTERNAL SETTINGS:

This section is particularly sensitive to the order in which sets are done and there are a few ques-
tions that must be answered before you can do anything.
- If using the AJ-HPX2700: What Resolution are you shooting? 1080 or 720?
(3700 shoots 1080 only.)
-What codec are you shooting?
AVC-Intra 100: 10-bit/100 MB/4:2:2/square pixels (true 1920x1080)
AVC-Intra 50: 10-bit/50MB/4:2:0/anamorphic pixels (1440x1080)
DVCPRO HD: 8-bit/100MB/4:2:2/anamorphic pixels (1280x1080)
- What is your frame rate?
1) Set up you Chroma DuMonde chart in show lighting.
2) Frame your chip chart and perform your white balance either auto or manual.
If auto: Do an auto white, auto black, then another auto white.
If manual: Make sure to turn off knee first. Expose the luminance first and then
match your red and blue channels.
3) Load scene file from the SD card.
Remember that this does not effect your system mode, codec or frame rate. It will also put you
into the HD gamma curve....change if desired.
4) Select your system mode, resolution, codec and frame rate.
After you are white balanced and your format is selected, you are now ready to look at color.
Remember that color is all subjective. All of the clark standard scene files are just starting points
for building the desired look. ( For explanation of clark scene files, look at page 3.)
5) Use vector scope to make any color adjustments.
5) Turn on knee function (unless in Film-rec).
6) Make sure exposure is where you want it.
