The For.A DCC-7000 HD/SD Advanced Color Corrector is a high-performance HD/SD color corrector designed for precise color correction in real time using 12 color parameters.

In addition to offering black-level adjustment and versatile processing, the unit incorporates a frame synchronizer. Dedicated control panels (sold separately) enable efficient operation.

This unit does correction/fine-turning to compensate for discrepancies in colors from various manufacturers or models of cameras. It also does correction/fine-turning of on-set monitors to match color temperature of lighting. It also provides efficient color correction/fine-turning for the editing process.

It offers adjustment based on 12 colors. Hue and saturation can be adjusted in each of the 12 axis, making it easy to adjust specific colors in isolation. You can enjoy advanced color correction from specialized hardware design with the convenience of real-time processing.

A mode for conventional RGB correction is also included. After general adjustment in this mode, users can switch to more precise color correction in the 12-axis mode. Balance, Differential, and Sepia are the 3 color correction modes that are available with this unit. In Balance mode, it performs RGB-based color correction; in Differential mode, it performs color correction while maintaining white balance; and in Sepia mode, it performs monotone color conversion.

For precise color correction, video signals can be displayed using the built-in vectorscope. Detailed color adjustment is possible while viewing waveforms. Using multiple outputs, an alternative coordinate system can be displayed without displaying the main line.

Images can be viewed before and after color correction together for comparison. Images can be displayed vertically or horizontally for easy color correction while comparing the original image. Before and after images can also be displayed on individual outputs without using the split display.

RGB and composite clip functions keep color information within the optimal range. The RGB clip uses white clip and black clip functions to correct color information in video that is too bright or dark. The composite clip automatically adjusts color information in HD video to suit SD signal ranges while preserving the original appearance. By determining differences between color information in HD video and that available with SD video, color inconsistency in simulcasts can be instantly corrected.

Equipped with 2 HD/SD-SDI inputs and 1 analog composite input, the unit can process signals from a single input at a time and switch between each signal as required. The unit is equipped with 2 HD or SD-SDI outputs and 1 analog composite output. Using dual outputs, one can be used for precise adjustment with before/after or vector display, while the other is used as the production output. The analog composite output can be used with SD-SDI signal.

Color-correction settings can be stored on the unit for instant recall of 100 events. Additionally, the unit's built-in browser can be used to export or save data to an external computer. This makes it easy to use the color corrector when correction settings are edited in the field.

Video processing controls for video level, luminance level, chroma level, black level, and hue are available in this unit. Frame Sync, Line Sync, and Input Sync modes are present in the FS (Frame synchronizer) functions. With embedded audio pass-through, it supports up to 16 channels of embedded audio. Audio is de-embedded before processing and then re-embedded afterward.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can this also be used to measure light levels (F stops)? Ambient, spot, or incident?

A: This meter can be used to measure incident light, measured as lux. There are no aperture or shutter speed or ISO numbers on this meter. These would need to be derived from the lux measurement and the ISO speed rating, to determine f/stops and shutter speeds. As a reference point for your calculations, Exposure Value (EV) 0 is equivalent to 1 second at f/1.0. At ISO 32 film speed, EV0 is the correct exposure for 10 lux incident light level. For ISO 500, at 110,000 lux, the correct exposure would be EV17. Remember that EV represents a collection of equivalent settings, so EV17 could be 1/1000 sec at f/11 or 1/500 sec at f/16 or 1/250 at f/22 or 1/125 at f/32 or 1/60 at f/44, and so on. For the same ISO 500 speed, 55,000 lux would require one unit lower EV than at 110,000 lux, thus 55,000 lux would require EV16 for ISO 500. With 110,000 lux and ISO 125, the correct exposure would be EV15. One of the possible shutter & aperture combinations for EV15 would be 1/250 at f/11. These examples should enable you to create exposure tables for yourself, relative to the lux readings you get from this meter. It does beautifully at measuring the spectrum of light sources and determining color rendering index and color temperature.

Q: 2. does unit measure all reflected ambient light? Is there a recommended way to measure only the light source (black box or tent)?

A: The Sekonic C-7000 Spectrometer Color Meter Bundle Kit can read most type of light and can measure it in , CIE1931/CIE1964 CIE1976/CIELUV CRI (Color Rendering Index) Correlated Color Temperature (TCP) Deviation (Δ uv) Dominant Wavelength (λd) Footcandle Horizontal Footcandle (HFc) Lux Lux Sec (HLx) Peak Wavelength (λp) Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density (PPFD) Purity (Pe)

Q: 3. what else should i get to make a copllete virtualset epuipment ?

A: You will need at least 1 Ultimatte 12 and an Ultimatte Smart Remote 4 to control them and key your set. You will also need cameras and a virtual set software.

Q: 4. Does the 20201 fit/work with any other skywatcher telescope (like the 72ED)?

A: According to the manufacture it is only designed for the PRO 100 ED APO

Q: 5. Can this be used for color analysis of roasted coffee beans ?

A: No, the following unit is a spectro but will only capture measurements of all forms of continuous light. Please review the following item if you are trying to capture the color code of a coffee bean. Datacolor ColorReader Color Matching Tool https://bhpho.to/3BLhrdS

Q: 6. Does this unit have a data port that would allow it to interface to an external radio for remote sensing?

A: The Sekonic C-7000 SpectroMaster Color Meter Bundle Kit does not have a port for remote sensing via radio.

Q: 7. If the delay is over 300 msec can the output of the left channel be looped back to the input of the right channel( or Vice versa) to give an increase of approximately twice as much delay for a monaural application?

A: If you do that it with the AV Toolbox AP-411 Lip Sync Corrector. It will very likely cause what are called multiple repeats. Which would be the signal feeding back on itself. The time between the repeats will be determined by the setting you use.

Q: 8. Filming with an ARRI sr2 - will this convert a film video tap to digital?

A: I would be a millionaire if I had a dollar for every foot of film I ran through Arriflex SR cameras. So while I have not tested this set up, the specs sound right. The Arri's video tap, possibly a Transvideo product, outputs a Composite signal through a BNC connection. Connect the tap to the converter and it should work just fine in making a digital signal.

Q: 9. Can the C-7000 automatically take multiple data points (30 points every 1 minute)?

A: The Sekonic C-7000 Spectrometer Color Meter Bundle Kit BH #SEC7000K does not have the ability to do 30 readings per minute.

Q: 10. Is the dial a full spectrum dial or increments? In other words, can it be set to 175 ms for example?

A: thank you for your email. The dial is full spectrum, the numbered settings are there as a guide.
