Selecting Production Parameters to Ensure that Picture Quality Accommodates the Intended and Possible Future Imaging Systems

David Corley, Moss Scott, David Adams

For many years there has been an emphasis on increasing dynamic range and color saturation in television and, to an even greater extent, in digital cinema. This begs the question; just how much data do we really need to record and store? An epic motion picture to be shown on a 20 m screen at 3000:1 contrast ratio could justify the ultimate image quality, but this could be overkill for a daily breakfast show typically viewed in a kitchen. This paper discusses aspects of studio production and image quality with regard to present day imagers and current market trends.
