KODAK Display Manager System V4.0 User’s Guide 1
I NTRODUCTION
The KODAK Display Manager System lets you display a scanned negative
image as it will appear projected via a motion picture film projector or a video
image as it will appear on a broadcast monitor. The KODAK Display Manager
System interfaces with a number of displays including computer monitors,
HD/SD displays, and digital projectors.
When creating a print film look, the system emulates the photochemical
process of motion picture print film. The results are placed in a 3D LUT (three
dimensional Look Up Table). This LUT can be exported and used by
supported imaging applications during the post production process.
When creating a video look, the system emulates a broadcast video display.
Before emulating a look, you must first calibrate and characterize your display.
We recommend that you calibrate and characterize your display:
• Before the start of a new project
• If the computer goes into sleep mode or screen saver mode
• Whenever you turn on the computer or display
• If the display has been jarred or moved
• (CRT/LCD monitors) Roughly every 6 to 8 hours; a minimum of once a day
• (HD/SD video) Once a day
• (Digital projectors) Once a week
