First on-set color management system for digital motion pictures by Fujifilm

With the full-scale proliferation of digital cinema cameras, today’s motion picture production widely involves digital editing that incorporates computer graphics and VFX*1 processing.

However, with the use of a diverse range of equipment and software, it is extremely difficult to achieve uniform color management throughout various stages of digital editing such as image processing and color adjustment. Since color has critical importance that affects the quality of motion picture production, a large amount of time and effort is spent on "color correction" during post-production work to achieve the ideal color presentation as exactly intended by the directors of photography, who are solely responsible for motion picture quality.

Despite the growing needs for simplified on-set color correction to boost efficiency and precision, there is a limit to available human resources with sufficient color management know-how for handling color correction with digital equipment. With the absence of compact equipment suitable for on-set use, on-set color correction had not been achieved easily until now.
