This chart is designed for examining chrominance resolution. The Wringer reveals diagonal resolution and aliasing artefacts that are not typically seen using vertical and horizontal wedges. Since diagonal distortions are likely to be mirrored in both scanned dimensions, and to conserve space,. The 18 zone plate quadrants have spatial frequency sweeps from 200 to 1000 TV LPPH – framing to half the chart’s width yields 100 to 500 TV LPPHFEATURES Used to examine chrominance resolution Segmented zone plates reveal diagonal resolution and aliasing artifacts Each zone plate is divided into four quadrants, containing vertical, horizontal and diagonal components AVAILABLE IN FOLLOWING SIZESSW Standard(21.3×13"), SRW Senior(24×14.7"), XW Maxi(40×24"), SXW Super Maxi(51.5×30.5")

The DSC Labs Front Box One Shot provides an easy color and dynamic-range reference for on-set Digital Imaging Technicians (DITs) and colorists. FEATURES The DSC Labs OneShot chart is designed to capture as much camera and scene lighting information in one shot as possible so that dailies look as close to the DP’s intent as possible. Provides a colorist with the full dynamic range of a scene, plus DSC Precision colors and skin tones DSC’s “AcuFlect” wide dynamic range, washable gloss surface, eliminates unreliable matte chart flare. Film-style production schedules don’t generally allow much time to shoot a glossy chart and eliminate reflections, but matte surface can be too delicate for field production
