Industry Segments

Virtual Sets

Video Walls are becoming the new choice for virtual backgrounds in the film & TV industry, effectively replacing Green Screen shooting, as they give actors something to react to in real-time, and create more realistic lighting on any reflective elements within the physical action. Very akin to historic rear-screen projection.

However, colour calibration is a critical issue for the use of Virtual Sets/LED Volumes/Video Walls, combined with the way the camera sees the colour emitted by the LED walls, compared to the live-action foreground elements, and ColourSpace offers totally unique solutions to mange Virtual Set colour.

Display Manufacturers

Manufacturing partnerships enable ColourSpace to be used for full closed-loop colour management, ensuring accurate colour matching for the whole image path for both professional and home cinema users.

Light Illusion also provides display manufacturers with dedicated versions of ColourSpace, enabling ColourSpace to be used for full closed-loop display calibration, guaranteeing the best possible level of calibration for the partner manufacturers and their customers.

Pro. AV

The Pro. AV market requires near perfection when it comes to calibration, and the best way to attain perfection is to use the same system that is the de-facto standard within the professional film and TV industry.

And ColourSpace is the de-facto standard for advanced colour management, guaranteeing the highest possible level of display calibration and colour control, making it the perfect choice for Pro. AV installers looking to offer their customers the best possible colour accuracy.

Home Cinema

Home Cinema users demand near perfection when it comes to calibration, and what better way to attain perfection than by using the same calibration system that is the de-facto standard within the professional film and TV industry?

As this is the basic intent for any calibration process - to match as accurately as possible the original source content as graded - the results attained by ColourSpace are impossible to match through the use of existing traditional consumer calibration systems.

Calibration as a Business

Using Light Illusion's colour management and calibration tools professional calibration businesses can provide the best possible end user calibration, for both professional businesses such as post-production studios, as well as home cinema setup.

Using ColourSpace on a laptop, with a suitable probe and test patch generator, calibration can be performed at the customer's location, without restriction.

Retail Calibration Service

Home display retail stores can provide calibration services to their TV and display customers, providing end users with a more accurate images than provided out-of-the-box, enabling a more cinematic viewing experience without the end user having to learn display calibration.

Using ColourSpace, with a suitable probe and test patch generator, calibration can be performed in-store, or at the customer's home after installation.

MediaMarkt, Sweden, and MediaWorld, Italy, are just two retail groups that already offer a ColourSpace based customer calibration service.

Windows, Mac, Linux & Graphics Programs

Although not an industry in their own right, the calibration of Windows, Mac and Linux systems can throw up some very specific problems as although LUTs are a standard part of any colour critical calibration workflow, such systems are just not 3D LUT compatible in themselves. Instead, such systems rely on using computer and print industry ICC profiles for colour management.

Unfortunately, calibration systems that directly generate ICC profiles are often far from ideal in the results they attain. ColourSpace produces far superior results, and for ICC based calibration will take a 3D calibration LUT and directly convert it into an ICC profile, maintaining the highest possible accuracy.

DICOM Medical

ColourSpace DICOM calibration provides consistent image viewing on any display with 3D LUT capability, or through the use of an external LUT box, matching both grey scale and colour, guaranteeing medical images viewed on one display will match when viewed on any other display.

Through the use of 3D LUTs the level of volumetric calibration achievable far exceeds traditional grey scale only DICOM calibration, maximising the visual assessment of medical images, enhancing the ability to spot items of interest.

Cinematography

Cinematography is where a lot of creative material starts its life, and there are some very specific issue to overcome, from on-set look management through the use of ColourSpace generated LUTs, to a need to match the images captured via different cameras.

ColourSpace has in-built manufacturer profile data for many digital cinematography cameras.

Additionally, MatchLight Image Matching System enables LUTs to be automatically generated by the direct comparison of two or more images captured from different cameras, and create LUTs that therefore match one camera image to another.

Display Journalism

Display reviews for TVs, monitors, & projectors, has become a major resource for customers looking to make a new display purchase.

Finding a software system that can provide easy to understand display measurement data, enabling readers to compare different display options, can be a critical part of any journalistic review. ColourSpace provides unmatched volumetric graphs that display measurement data in easy to understand visual form.

Additionally, Light Illusion doesn't have restrictive multi-page press license contracts.
