The Calibrite ColorChecker Video Mega provides an extra-large format for effortlessly capturing the target at greater distances and wider angles. It provides the same chromatic colours, skin tones and grey reference chips of the standard size ColorChecker Video, but is a massive 102 x 152cm. You’ll be able to eliminate the need to move your camera closer or adjust the focal length of your lens, shoot in the same lighting condition that is falling on your subject and minimise colour casting from any surrounding light. You’ll also be able to increase the capture resolution for more accurate post-production work. The ColorChecker Video Mega works with popular filmmaking tools like waveform, vectorscope, zebras and more.

Expanded Calibrite ColorChecker Video Mega Key Features:

Video Colour Target

Speed up your colour grading workflow by achieving ideal exposure and colour balance, especially for larger productions. This colour chart includes a series of chromatic colour chips, skin tone chips, grey chips and illumination check chips. The layout is designed for ideal performance when used with vectorscopes and waveforms, whether on camera or in software.

Chromatic Colours: two rows of six chromatic colour chips, both saturated and desaturated, specifically designed to align with the colour axis on a vectorscope. These colours provide two levels of colour information to more quickly achieve an ideal colour balance.

Skin Tones: ranging from light to dark with subtle undertones to better reproduce accurate flesh tones. This row of chips is positioned on the outer edge of the target for easy alignment.

Large Grey Levels: four larger steps for even grey balance, including white, 40IRE grey, deep grey and high gloss black. These levels are ideal for determining proper exposure whether you use a waveform, zebras, or false colours. Use these levels to align the exposure and contrast of cameras you are matching and ensure that mid-tones are rendered accurately. These chips are positioned in the centre of the test target for maximum exposure, even on a wide set.

Linear Grayscale: six colour chips for achieving even grey balance. This row addresses highlight and shadow regions.

Illumination Check Chips: black and white chips at two corners to better assist in determining even illumination across the target.

White Balance Target

Starting with an accurate white balance ensures the colours you capture are true and provides a point of reference for post-shoot editing. The White Balance target found on the reverse side is a spectrally flat target that provides a neutral reference point across mixed lighting conditions that you encounter during a video shoot. Since the target reflects light equally across the visible spectrum, creating an in-camera custom white balance can properly compensate for varying lighting.

FAQs:

What are the main functions of this chart?

With the Calibrite ColorChecker Video Mega, you can improve the colour preview on your camera’s display so your histograms are more reliable. You can also make post production colour correction and editing faster and easier by eliminating the need to neutralize each frame individually.

Why is this better than using any sort of white object?

White balancing on a piece of paper or other grey element in the scene may seem like a simple workaround, but most objects are not actually neutral under all lighting conditions; and they’re certainly not consistent. An inaccurate white balance will result in colour casts, and a lack of consistency between lighting conditions, making colour corrections extremely time consuming.

How can the ColorChecker Video Mega be implemented within a pro-level video workflow?

The Calibrite ColorChecker Video Mega is ideal for colour grading, colour balancing, grey balancing, setting perfect exposure, colour matching multiple cameras, and shooting and editing for mixed lighting.
