DSC Labs Billups VF/X Chart

The Billups VF/X Chart from DSC Labs is a color calibration chart designed for calibrating color with virtually any video camera throughout the world. Many video professionals consider calibration charts a necessity for optimizing camera performance and the production value of images. This chart has been designed with that philosophy in mind and works equally well in engineering or production work.

This unit features ChromaDuMonde color and grayscale references charts, as well as other task specific charts. Grayscale and sky-blue ramps are included to identify banding introduced in image processing. A digital green and blue chart is featured for special effect chips. Composite components and Rosco's chroma key green and blue high chroma slashes offer a useful reference for checking and tracking chroma aliasing through post data information panels. This tracking reference includes nodal to chart distance with inch and centimeter scales, allowing you to calculate the camera viewing angle.

Black reflectance spheres show the number, position, and type of lighting (spot or flood), as well as hue or color filtration of individual lights. A white sphere also shows integrated level and color temperature. A black background provides cleaner histograms.
