1. General Information
- All Screens at Animation Department are measured to sRGB Colorspace and D65 Whitpoint(6500 K). TV Logics at Smoke Suite are measured to REC 709 Color Space and D65 Whitpoint(6500 K).
- The only difference between sRGB and REC 709 is the gamma Curve, Color and Whitepoint are the same!
- REC 709 is meant as a broadcast standard for a darker sourrunding like a living room and sRGB is meant for a brighter surrounding like a desktop.
- This means Gamma Curve is adjusted for each purpose from bright surroundings with gamma 2.2 to darker sourrundings like broadscast 2.4 and cinema 2.6.
- Take care Screen Colorspace is only about how your images are displayed, it has no direct influence to your workflow colorspace!
- If you use different types of screen on your workstation even after measurement they look very similar but not equal.
- DELL2711 need some time to get his final color, so dont worry if it does look dark and yellowish in comparision to your other screen after starting or waking up your pc.
- For Changing your ICC Profiles you can use Eizo Color Navigator for EIZI CX271 or Display Profile for other screens(X:\Media\Software\__VFX__Compilation\displayprofile)
- Display Profile is small tool that can be executed directly without installation. Just position it on that screen in that you want to change ICC Profile run it and choose Profile.
