This series will describe details of how to use s709.

The s709 output is available on the VENICE SDI outputs 1 and 2 switchable via the camera’s menus, and can be used as a standard on-set monitoring look for shooting. The s709 look is close to the characteristics of film, and allows directors, DOPs and cinematographers to monitor on set with film-like image characteristics. This renders imagery in subtle colors, with smooth color gradation and a softer low-contrast tone curve. Sony has also developed a new monitor look called “s709”. With the introduction of VENICE, 709(800) has been renamed “R709”. The conventional monitor look 709(800) integrated into the F65 and PMW-F55 cameras has a high contrast tone curve and renders high saturated, vivid colors. Thus Sony has introduced a series of Look Profiles and LUTs (Look Up Tables) for on-set monitoring while shooting, and for clip review afterwards. Specifically, how to review material shot in S-Log3/S-Gamut3.Cine on a standard monitor designed to operate in a conventional Rec.709 dynamic range and color space. However these technologies present a problem for those working on-set, in dailies and in post-production.

SONY SLOG LUT REC709 MOVIE
S-Gamut3.Cine is one such color space, wider than the DCI P3 color space used for digital movie projection.īoth S-Log3 and S-Gamut3.Cine provide huge dynamic range and color space capabilities within the camera which can be used to capture material that provides post-production with the widest creative freedom and control. Over the years Sony has also introduced new, wide color spaces. As digital cinematography standards have evolved and technologies improved, new camera models have been introduced with improved S-Log curves, S-Log2 and more recently S-Log3, greatly enhancing the latitude and dynamic range capabilities of the newer cameras. Since the year 2000, Sony has been developing digital motion picture cameras and supporting products for the digital cinematography community under the CineAlta brand.ĭuring this time Sony designed and published its original “S-Log” curve, integrating this into the camera to allow them to capture scenes with exceptionally wide latitude.
