Overview
The SpecTD provides spectral analysis of negative and print film, while also providing all of the functionality of a traditional transmission densitometer. With the increasing demands of colour management systems, and the closer tolerances required of digital and print presentations, there is a real need for more detailed analysis tools than previously available. The SpecTD is ideally suited to this environment and that of traditional film processing laboratories. In conjunction with the SCD automated transport system, the SpecTD provides an efficient, versatile automated solution for large measurement sets.
Measuring film density accurately is key for generation of the final calibration LUT, and care must be taken when measuring the film flats with a hand operated densitometer. For the most accurate film density measuring a fully automated system is recommend, and the SCD automated transport system can be purchased from Light Illusion for this purpose.
