John and all,
I'm trying to lay off some color bars to my PAR as a point of reference
for some local video dudes. A while back I just copied your NTSCBARS.TGA to
the PAR, and apparently it scoped just a bit off on one or more of the colors.
I'm really not sure what the readings were, but they were pretty good. They
still suggested I generate my own.
Anyway, I decided to try to render my own .TGA to the PAR based on your
NTSCCB.PRJ file. I noticed that the color values were kind of varied in
regards to luminance, some were at about 30, some were at about 60, etc.
Shouldn't I be putting out fully saturated colors, set at luminance=128? Or
should I be toning down the saturation to about 210, as that's what I usually
max my materials out at for video? Or should I just render your .prj file,
knowing it should be right?
Thanks for the library file! 🙂
