“Up until now, we’ve mainly been making captions and dubbing for programs from overseas. By producing the first sports program in Japan, we can now try new live broadcasts. Producing a massive amount of video and promotional video content quickly is important now more than ever. And, as immediate evaluation of that content is necessary, errors in communication regarding color can cause us to lose a great deal of time.”

“At first, system development included a mix of monitors from many manufacturers and since there were differences between each of the models, the colors that the producer and the designer would see were different. Even when we used a single monitor to preview content with several people at once, the color would appear differently between those looking at the front of the monitor and those looking from an angle, making it difficult to communicate about color.”

“In the past, we had installed EIZO’s standard FlexScan Series for both the sub and master control rooms. There was a lot of positive feedback on the color reproducibility of video and usability of the monitors.”

“We installed 10 ColorEdge CX240 monitors. The ColorEdge’s greatest feature is color correction. With it, we can manage the color of every monitor to maintain consistency. We adjust to comply with SMPTE-C, the current color broadcasting standard in the US.”

“With ColorNavigator dedicated calibration software, we are able to prepare profiles for various broadcasting standards. We can easily calibrate the ColorEdge to the target value. We apply the color space and gamma settings defined in the SMPTE-C standard to every ColorEdge monitor we installed. Also, we use the built-in sensor to automatically adjust the monitors on each floor every 200 hours to maintain a correct display without additional time and effort.”
