Postproduction in Toronto, a subsidiary of Deluxe Entertainment Services Group
Inc., and one of Canada’s leading motion picture and television service providers,
is using Cel-Soft’s Cel-Scope3D signal
analyzer to ensure accurate and optimal alignment of stereoscopic content. 
“Working with 3D introduces a lot of variables that
simply don’t arise in a 2D creative environment,” comments Nick Iannelli,
Vice President of Operations & Customer Service for Deluxe Postproduction
in Toronto. “Most people experience the world in 3D naturally. Well-produced
stereoscopic content is therefore potentially even more natural on the eyes than
watching traditional flat 2D film and television.”
“Cel-Scope
3D allows us to QC all the crucial parameters confidently in real time, including
horizontal disparity, vertical alignment, depth budget and edge violation. Cel-Scope
3D’s graphic display is highly intuitive and can be configured to alert the
user if critical parameters exceed optimal tolerances,” adds Iannelli.
Recent 3D projects serviced by Deluxe Postproduction in
Toronto include ‘Hubble’ (for IMAX), digital intermediates and sound
mix on ‘Resident Evil 3D: The Afterlife’ (for Sony, Impact Pictures,
and Constantin Film) and ‘Saw VII 3D’ (for Lions Gate Entertainment
and Evolution Studios).
A highly efficient solution
to the task of 3D signal monitoring, Cel-Scope3D can analyze file-based content
as well as live or video-taped signals in dual-stream or multiplexed formats.
It allows stereoscopic camera alignment to be performed quickly and confidently,
ensuring 3D is accurate from the moment of capture. Footage and edits in a wide
range of file formats can be viewed and assessed in real time. Anaglyph display,
user presets and on-screen-alarms are all provided.
Left
and right channels can be viewed simultaneously together with actual depth dynamics.
Each graphic window can be set to show waveform, vectorscope and histogram graphics
as well as differences in video parameters between each channel. Geometry
issues can be identified easily using built-in real-time image manipulation.
Quality-control
tests can be performed on live stereoscopic video sources in any 1080, 2K or other
formats from industry standard capture cards and input devices or from file playback.
The logging option provides a definitive record of all the tests performed, the
parameters and how well the program passed or failed both in detail and as a summary
report.
