Color Television Camera Matching Techniques

In the matching of color television cameras, the intent is to realize equal colorimetric performance between cameras as well as to achieve a pleasing reproduction of the scene to be televised. During a television production, however, a difference in spectral transmission between lenses used on a camera, or a change in spectral distribution of illumination on the subject causes a change in color balance which requires a change in balance to maintain matched cameras. In “Stop and Go” color video-tape recording where segments are recorded at different times and edited at a later date in a sequence other than the order recorded, it is imperative that a camera match be maintained during each recording and the same camera match be realized at each recording date.
