Camera Setup, Alignment and Matching Measurements

Image quality all starts with the correct alignment of the camera which is used to capture the scene either on location or in the studio. Understanding the adjustments that are necessary using a suitable camera chart and waveform monitor, as well as matching multiple cameras, is critical to ensure a high quality image and prevent mistakes from occurring – mistakes that are costly to fix in the post production process.
