Overview 3

Overview

Cameras of the Sony CineAlta series are equipped with

the User Gamma function, which enables users to set

desired tone curves at will, using the gamma

compensation capability.

CvpFileEditor is a tool for freely creating and controlling

the gamma compensation characteristics of the cameras.

Cameras on which gammas created by

CvpFileEditor can be used

• HDC-900 series (AT Ver. 1.3 or later)

• HDC-F950

• HDW-F900 (AT Ver. 2.xx or later)

• HDW-F900R

•F23

•F35

• HDC1000 series (optional HZC-UG444 required)

Gamma Compensation

For compensation for smooth contrast

characteristics as a successor to knee

compensation

Knee compensation is a function to compress the contrast

for high luminance by a polygonal curve. As the contrast

characteristics sharply change at the turn-off point of the

polygonal curve, a point may be visible on a subject that

has smooth gradation. In addition, skin color of high

luminance is prone to coming out yellow.

By setting user gamma, smooth gradation can be

reproduced without sharp turnoff that may be seen with

knee compensation, while maintaining high-luminance

contrast.

Optimum characterizing according to the

dynamic range of each camera

The F23/F35 Digital Cinematography Cameras can have

a dynamic range of 800% at maximum, enabling contrast

reproduction at higher luminance than conventional

cameras of 460% dynamic range.

The User Gamma function enables creation of the

optimum gamma curve according to the dynamic range of

each camera.

Optimum characterizing for postproduction

With a curve set for usual video materials to mainly

compress high-luminance contrast, color grading for high

luminance is not sufficiently allowed.

User gamma setting permits you to decrease total contrast

for easy postproduction processes.

Image creation by directly adjusting camera

outputs

If direct outputs from the camera are used without

assuming postproduction, user gamma can be used as a

function for real-time tone control.

Major Functions of CvpFileEditor

Management of gamma data and user gamma

files

You can manage created gamma data with a list.

As the data can be grouped as a user gamma file to install

in a camera, it is easy to replace gammas in a camera,

depending on shooting scenes and conditions.

A title and various comments can accompany your

gamma data, which can be used as a reminder of the

recording condition or tips when editing other gamma

data.

Strongly enhanced curve editing functions1)

Parameter Edit mode is added to automatically create an

optimum gamma curve by specifying some major

parameters that determine the gamma. You can arbitrarily

specify elemental parameters, such as dynamic range,

white limit, 18% gray (middle tone), black level, and

initial gain. You can also intuitively change these

parameters by operating a graphic display with your

mouse.

Custom Edit mode is also available for more detailed

gamma data editing, permitting you to freely edit without

parameter setting.

Unlimited hyper gamma setting1)

As a function for parameter editing, hyper gamma can be

selected. Hyper gamma is a gamma curve based on an

algorithm unique to Sony. It reproduces natural contrast

and colors from middle tone to high luminance on a

monitor screen.

It features convenient adjustability to record images to be

used as-is for video materials or as raw materials to be

processed in postproduction.

Direct transmission of gamma data via

Ethernet1)

In addition to the conventional installation method that

uses a Memory Stick, created data can be sent in a few

seconds to a camera (if it is F23 or F35) via Ethernet for

checking the characteristics of the curve on the spot. This

may be especially convenient for real-time process of the

tone curve according to subjects.

Renewal operation displays1)

All the graphical windows are newly designed to enable

management and editing operations for gamma data, as

Overview

well as transmission to a camera in the respective

windows.

Window tools, such as Zoom Manager for easy graph

scaling, are also included.

Mutual data conversion with other color grading

tools

1D LUT data, often used in postproduction, can be

imported and converted to a user gamma for your camera.

Conversely, user gamma you create can be exported as 1D

LUT data for other systems.

Defining the bit length and output of inverse gamma data

are also enabled.1)

Smooth transition from previous versions

Application data (*.cfe files) created with a previous

version (V2.2 or V3.0) of CvpFileEditor can be directly

read and converted for usage. You can start curve

processing using data you created before as the base.

The file saving format of V4.0 is *.ce2.

1) Functions newly added in V4.0

System Configuration

You can create gamma data using those of other systems,

the built-in library, or the parameter edit function. The

created data can be installed in a camera via a Memory

Stick or Ethernet.

Basic Operation Flow

The flow of gamma creation is roughly indicated below.

Creating gamma data

There are three methods for creating gamma data.

1. Newly creating gamma data (using Parameter

Edit mode)

Select “New Gamma Data” from the Data menu to create

new gamma data. Parameter Edit mode is selected to

permit you to enter the characteristics required for

gamma.

For details, see “To start editing in Parameter Edit mode”

(page 14).

2. Loading library data and edit them in Custom

Edit mode

You can select fundamental characteristics, such as ITU-

R709, Hyper Gamma, or S-LOG, from the library and

finely adjust them in Custom Edit mode.

To load the library data, select “Library” from the Data

menu then start editing.

For details, see “To import library data” (page 10) and

“To switch to Custom Edit mode” (page 18).

3. Importing data of different systems

When you wish to install data created with another

grading tool, use the import function.

Select “Import File” from the Data menu.

For details, see “Importing and Exporting Files of Other

Types” (page 23).

Installing the gamma data in a

camera

The data can be installed in the camera via a Memory

Stick or Ethernet.

1. Via a Memory Stick

Gamma data (five sets at maximum) are installed as a user

gamma file. The user gamma data in the camera are

overwritten.

To write data to a Memory Stick, select “Export Memory

Stick” from the User Gamma menu.

For details, see “To install user gamma via a Memory

Stick into a camera” (page 12).

2. Via Ethernet

This is valid only for an F23/F35 having Ethernet control

capability. You can directly transmit data being edited to

the camera.

For details, see “To transmit the data to the connected

camera” (page 22).
