Abstract: This series of articles on the color processing for digital cinema is based on the Engineering Guideline, SMPTE 432–1. The DC28 committee believed the information in that guideline would be more widely available if it were published as a series of articles in the Journal. This fourth article in the series describes the measurement techniques to be used in measuring light reflected from the theater screen. It also gives the aim values for each measurement and the allowable tolerances around those aims.

bio
Tom Maier is a research fellow in the Entertainment Imaging Business Unit of Eastman Kodak Co. He earned a BS degree in chemical engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and a PhD degree in chemistry from the University of Illinois. During his 36-year career at Kodak, Maier has written computer programs to model film and digital imaging systems, has developed methods to characterize and optimize the color quality of these imaging systems, and has run psychometric experiments to confirm the image quality of his computer optimizations. He previously served on a number of the CIE committees related to color and now serves on several SMPTE DC28 standards committees for digital projection systems. Maier contributed to the standards dealing with color in the digital cinema system and was the editor of the recently issued Engineering Guideline, SMPTE 432–1–2007, “Digital Source Processing—Color Processing for D-Cinema.” Maier was honored with the SMPTE Journal award in 2004 and a Journal Certificate in 2007. He is a member of SMPTE.
