The default profile set is based on different film stocks, projected with a standard xenon lamp.
Advanced users can make their own profiles using a text editor (for more details see Truelight
no
FilmLight website). If you require detailed simulation of your light box,
projector, or specific film-out process, please contact FilmLight for information on alternative
profiles and customised calibrations.

Click on the display button to choose the monitor calibration file for your display. If you
have not yet calibrated the Shake monitor, please use the Truelight Calibration utility (see
page 3). The list of display calibrations will include three standard files - rec709,
rec709legal, and SonyHD. These calibrations are normally used in conjunction with an
external broadcast monitor. The two rec709 calibrations match the standard ITU broadcast
formulae; SonyHD matches a typical well-set up HD monitor.

Finally, click on the colourSpace button to set the correct working colour space for your
material. The options are ‘log’, ‘linear’ and ‘video’. These settings correspond to the basic
colour space settings in the Shake LogLin node, but without the additional parameters (see
Appendix for more details).
The Truelight node should now be set up to correctly simulate the chosen film-out process on
the calibrated Shake monitor.
Note that the screen shot on the previous page shows controls for white point luminance
(‘whiteLuma’) and chrominance (‘whiteChroma’) at the bottom of the ‘advanced’ drop-down
section. These controls are only shown if the currently selected display needs them. If you cannot
see these three sliders, then you may be using a CIE L*a*b* display calibration.
Note also that there are three printerPoint controls. These controls are only shown if the currently
selected profile can use them. If you cannot see the three ‘printerPoint’ sliders, then you may be
using a profile that matches your display to another display. In this case, the profile is not
simulating a film-out process, so these controls would have no function.
