New for 2009 - Cine-tal launch their B-series Cinemáge monitors - adding 10 bit 23” and 42” models and a 19” 8 bit display to the product portfolio. All of the great features of the existing product, as outlined below, with added oomph! The 42” allows the monitor to be set further back, giving the ability to include more people in the “cone of acceptability for viewing angle, whilst the 19” is rack mountable, making it ideal for QC and Machine Room applications. The new 23” is the logical choice for onset, edit and grading applications where no compromise in colour fidelity, feature set and performance is allowed

Cinemáge

Cine-tal has re-written the rules for HD Monitoring by adding network capable intelligence, measurement, calibration and collaborative tools to Cinemáge, a ruggedized 1920 x 1200 pixel monitor that supports DVI, SD-SDI, HD-SDI, Dual Link 4:4:4 and 2K inputs (scaled or cropped left, right and centre).

At its heart is Cine-tal’s proprietary Intelligent Display Server
(IDS) technology, which drives a host of production operations,
including image processing, multi-camera monitoring, signal routing, frame grabs

and an advanced 3D LUT capability for colour pre-visualization. The monitor can also integrate an OmniTekTM test platform providing Waveform and Vectorscope functions that can be optionally enhanced right up to include HD Test Signal generation and world class 10 bit 4:4:4 measurement, analysis and display. All frame rates are displayed at their native refresh rate, with all pixels mapped 1 for 1 with no scaling or image degradation for HD.

Singing off the same colorimetry hymn sheet!
For cinema professionals, the Cinemáge features full resolution, 24” HD monitoring with IDS, in a range of four models offering a variety of configurations for HD-SDI, DVI and HD Dual Link inputs and outputs. The monitors all support network integration, connecting via LAN, WAN, or SAN. Additionally the inclusion of an optional Colour Analyser photometer to a networked monitor that can arbitrarily capture frame grabs from live footage allows colour calibration data to be embedded within the frame grabs which can then be transmitted to, and implemented by, another remote monitor anywhere in the world.

On set grading (Previsualisation)

Several customers and DoP’s are now using the Cinemáge for playback of instant, rough graded dailies. The standard workflow is defining itself as:
 - Network the monitor to a local PC (or MAC) with DVI-D out;
 - use the monitor to make framegrabs from the live camera or recorder feed;
 - these are automatically stored onto the hard drive of the computer;
 - switch the monitor to DVI mode, and open the grading system on the computer
  (SpeedGrade OnSet by Iridas is very popular);
 - grade one of the framegrabs using the monitor as a calibrated desktop, this
  automatically creates a 3D LUT that can be loaded and read by the monitor
 - switch the monitor back to the input feed and invoke the 3D LUT directly from the
  PC;
 - search back to the start of the take, and watch the shot with the  LUT applied.
 - export the LUT to a USB memory stick, and use it as a reference starting point for
  the post production grading process

Network and Collaborate
Use the soft menu buttons, a pc, pda, or one of a range of remote controls to control any of the monitor’s functions. Upload or download frame grabs for checking continuity or colorimetry either locally or remotely; route signals; modify 3D LUT’s for primary colour grading pre-visualization then e-mail the rough grade back and forth; split the screen, view and colour match two or four cameras, or view a previously saved raw frame grab against a colour graded one sent back from a colorist.
