Quick and precise camera matching for on location single- or multi-camera shoots

DSC Labs, a developer of innovative products for image quality improvement, has announced the newest addition to its product catalog: the Hawk Quick Check Chart (QCC). Designed by Senior Video and Broadcast Engineer Gary Hawkins, the Hawk QCC provides a simple way to match cameras on location. Ideal for single- or multi-camera shoots, the Hawk QCC records critical information from an original scene set-up using a primary chart, then acts as its replacement by providing enough data for a quick camera evaluation and scene matching. “Time is of the essence in production. It's not always necessary to use a ChromaDuMonde for every scene change,” comments DSC Labs President David Corley. “The Hawk QCC’s innovative design and convenient size make on-location scene matching quick and easy.”

Hawk QCC Feature Highlights:
• Sized at 11 x 9.5”—for an easy fit into any camera bag or backpack
• White patches—for white balancing and knee setting
• Gamma at 18% gray—for accurate iris or lighting adjustment
• Black patches—for scene black and flare checking
• Flesh tones—for checking consistency of flesh tones
• Mid-gray strip top and bottom—to monitor evenness of lighting

In addition, on the reverse side of the chart are more useful test elements:
• 5.5 x 3” neutral white panel—for white balancing
• 5.5 x 3” “warming” panel
• FrameAlign chart that displays different framing options
• Write-on area—to note slate information

The new Hawk QCC is available today through the DSC Labs Dealer Network or directly from DSC Labs for $130.00 USD. Please e-mail This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or visit www.dsclabs.com.
