FUSION EXPANDS WITH COURTYARD SHERIFFS
Farnham, May 23, 2002
Courtyard Electronics is supplying three
Sheriff serial digital legalisers to Fusion Post Production as a
part of its new expansion into D’Arblay Street, central Soho,
London. In line with Fusion’s commitment to provide the best
possible complete finishing service, the Sheriffs will be used
to monitor and correct any video containing illegal colours –
whether supplied as source material to the linear and nonlinear
edit suites and grading suite, or somehow produced during work.
Ensuring that finished programmes contain
only colours within the legal colour gamut is vital – not only
as they may otherwise cause problems downstream but also as
digital content received by broadcasters is frequently checked.
Richard Wilding, Fusion’s newly appointed Director of Editing
comments ‘Having researched all the available legalisers so
thoroughly and seen how well the Sheriff performed, it was our
first choice and we are delighted to have the very best solution
to give to our clients.’
With Courtyard’s eye for practicality,
Sheriff works directly on SDI signals and provides a very clear
in-picture indication of both the presence and magnitude of any
illegal colours. There are many controls to offer flexibility so
users can, for example, set the thresholds for legalisation. It
then has several methods to bring them within specification
without introducing perceptible impairments. This involves the
subtle processing techniques developed by Courtyard that are a
part of its renowned performance.
