Light Illusion Unveil New Colour Management Solution

UK based colour management specialist Light Illusion have announced a new version of their colour management system LightSpace CMS.
Whether on-set, within DI grading operations, visual effect facilities, broadcasting, or animation colour management has become hyper-critical with the plethora of new camera and display technologies released in recent times, and LightSpace CMS uniquely provides facility-wide management from a simple to use system that is display, format and workflow agnostic.
The company present the solution as the only colour management system to meet all the criteria needed to provide fully integrated facility-wide colour management regardless off the creative systems and displays in use – for on-set, post-production, and final delivery.
Uniquely, a single LightSpace CMS license provides total facility-wide calibration capabilities using a simple network based application to enable OS independent calibration across Windows, Mac and Linux based systems, making LightSpace CMS the most cost-effective way to implement perfect colour management throughout production workflows.
Meanwhile advanced LUT manipulation tools were a key recent addition to LightSpace CMS, enabling major LUT based workflows to be accurately defined, including complex inverse LUT transforms for reverse image calibration, making it easy to achieve a calibrated pipeline no matter which workflows are used.
The launch of LightSpace CMS Quick Profiling provides powerful calibration tools that allow displays to be analyzed for colour gamut and gamma, helping identify issues before commencing calibration using the same profile data. With a Quick Profile different displays can be set to handle image material identically without requiring long calibration procedures.
As a sub-set of the Full LightSpace CMS system, LightSpace CMS Quick Profiling is a more cost-effective option, helping to make accurate colour calibration an affordable process for all operations at every stage of a given workflow, from production, to post-production and on to final delivery.
Being more than a basic calibration package, LightSpace CMS is capable of advanced profile and LUT data manipulation processes, gaining the most from all compatible measurement probes regardless of their relative expense or underlying measuring technologies, providing yet further cost-effective calibration capabilities to the end user.
LightSpace CMS Quick Profiling is capable of visualising film images on digital displays, as well as accurately matching different display technologies, allowing operators, colourists, supervisors, DoPs and directors to be confident that a matched final look is presented at every point in the production workflow, saving time and avoiding unexpected results by ensuring any image is accurately portrayed regardless of target environments and displays.
The full LightSpace CMS range makes accurate colour management possible regardless of display technology and workflows, and the new LightSpace CMS Quick Profiling helps by reducing the entry point for full profile and LUT based calibration.
LightSpace CMS Quick Profiling can be upgraded to the full LightSpace CMS package at any time, allowing customers to build their colour management tools as their requirement grows.
