DP Lights™ is an exclusive Technicolor system which can be deployed as a pre-visualization, on-location color correction tool, or used in a unique configuration to drive high quality rear screen projection.
In support of 2D or 3D digital capture, the system enables real-time creation of pre-visualization looks during commercial production. Because the system is fully ASC-CDL compliant, looks established on location flow downstream to any Technicolor dailies facility for dailies mastering and use in the DI Suite. For commercial productions ultimately intended for film distribution, the DP Lights™ system includes integration of on-location film print emulation. It is also possible to record a color-corrected feed during digital capture to a format such as XDCAM -- which is supported by Technicolor’s Dailies on Demand playback server -- or to other formats such as HDCAM.
DP Lights™ may also serve as the core of a digital rear-screen projection system. The workflow is simple: rear screen and reflection plates are played back from a digital source on set, routed through DP Lights™ for real-time color balancing and then sent to calibrated digital cinema projectors. This approach has been used successfully by productions such as Georgia Rule, Superbad, Get Smart, Fired Up, I Love You Beth Cooper and Edge of Darkness.
