Northern Lights®
Front-lit chart with wide gamut rear-lit insert 16:9 o/d 24 x 14.7″
Designed primarily for digital film production
As with any technology, front-lit test systems have limitations. While ideal for setup under diverse lighting conditions and to check consistency between cameras, front lit technology is limited in its ability to reach the extreme levels of saturation and dynamic range demanded by many modern cameras.
For these reasons respectively, DSC has developed the Northern Lights® (a Front- and Rear-Lit System) extended color gamut test system and the Xyla® super high dynamic range test system. Providing the same level of accuracy as DSCs’ front lit products, these charts provide invaluable information regarding your camera’s true level of performance when pushed to the most extreme limits.
NorthernLights combines DSC’s 28 popular ChromaDuMonde colors, with 11 step crossed grayscale, hyperbolic resolution wedges and R,G,B C,M,Y highly saturated colors at the virtual edge of the human visual spectrum.
