mastering, the industry-standard Sony BVM-D24E1WU 24" monitor, and CRTs in general had been disguising most of the down-convert artifacts because of the way in which the CRT creates an image. The new display technologies are showing the true down-conversions, digital warts and all. As noted by Eklund in the 2007 ASC Technology Committee Report for SMPTE Journal in June: “Under typical home viewing conditions, a growing number of consumers now have a day-to-day display that provides a more critical view of HD sources than what is in popular use in the facilities that master these sources.” A number of new technology displays, professional and consumergrade, are being evaluated by post facilities. Drawbacks to using consumer displays for mastering are: 1) the model changes often, making it difficult to standardize; 2) a lack of professional signal format support; and 3) the potential for variable performance within a particular model because consumer build specs aren’t as stringent. “[Non-theatrical display] is the new area of concern that is linked to trying to find ways to ensure that filmmakers’ creative intent is realized all the way through to whatever platform it is released on,” Clark points out. “For a lot of this stuff, the train has already left the station, but it doesn’t mean we should just throw our hands up in the air. We wouldn’t have been able to influence the manufacturers at an earlier stage because we didn’t understand the issues. I think there still is hope that some kind of influence can be brought to bear if ways are found for us to ameliorate the problem. It may even raise questions about the way certain material is shot.” The Advanced Imaging Subcommittee has been studying monitors with regard to trichromatic color systems like RGB and X’Y’Z’, which define their primaries and color characteristics using xy coordinates (based on the 1931 CIE two-degree standard observer). All monitors are calibrated using xy measurements, but 1931 CIE contains known errors. Advanced Imag111
