    | 1 - 4 | Three-chip color camera systems
    to break colored light into its primary colors. |  |

    | 1 - 8part 1
 | RGB vs NTSC images. | This RGB picture from a computer
    is sharp, and the colors are pure. |   | 
  
    | 1 - 8part 2
 |  | The same picture in NTSC looks smeared,
    the colors have changed some, and artifacts such as dark edging
    and MOIRE appear. |   | 
  
    | 1 - 8part 3
 |  | A closer look at NTSC reveals MOIRE,
    crawling colored dots along the edges of colors. |   | 
  
    | 6 - 4 | MOSAIC filter on a ONE-CHIP color
    CCD camera |  |   | 
  
    | 6 - 7 part 1 |  | A closer look shows the individual
    pixels in the display. The picture is fuzzier than a black-and-white
    viewfinder's, making it little help when you're trying to focus
    the camera lens. |   | 
  
    | 6 - 7 part 2 |  | Viewed at an angle, the color turns
    pale and green. |   | 
  
    | 6 - 7 part 3 | Problems using LCD VIEWFINDERS | Color isn't very accurate or bright.
    Color is best when the screen is viewed head-on. |   | 
  
    | 7 - 25 part 1 | Camera filters (Courtesy of Cokin) | Before using GRADUATED FILTER, sky
    is pale and washed out. |   | 
  
    | 7 - 25 part 2 |  | After using GRADUATED FILTER |   |

    | 9 - 27 | COLOR TEMPERATURE mismatches | Outdoor light from our left looks
    bluish compared to 3200 degree K quartz light from right. |   | 
  
    | 9 - 27 |  | Common fluorescent light from our
    left mixes poorly with incandescent light from our right. |   | 
  
    | 9 - 32 | Colors on TV are slightly different
    from real life. | This well-adjusted color TV monitor
    still fails to render colors exactly as they appear to your eye
    in the studio. Colors tend to fade and become bluish. |   |

    | 11 - 22 part 9 |  | CHROMA KEY |   | 
  
    | 12 - 11 part 1 | Good and bad colors for lettering
    and backgrounds | Light yellow over blue background
    is visually appealing ... |   | 
  
    | 12 - 11 part 2 |  | ... and also shows up well on black-and-white
    TV. |   | 
  
    | 12 - 11 part 3 |  | Green letters over a cyan (blue-green)
    background look awful and are also hard to see. Avoid colors
    that are near each other on the COLOR WHEEL or near each other
    on the rainbow or on the color selector continuum of your CHARACTER
    GENERATOR. |   | 
  
    | 12 - 11 |  | Also when letters are the same brightness
    as their background, they disappear when viewed on black-and-white
    TVs as seen here. |   | 
  
    | 12 - 11 part 5 |  | Yellow over green or blue-green
    looks bad. |   | 
  
    | 12 - 11 part 6 |  | Yellow over red looks bad. |   | 
  
    | 12 - 11 part 7 |  | Green letters over blue background
    look bad ... |   | 
  
    | 12 - 11 part 8 |  | ... and are saved only by the edging
    when displayed in black-and-white. |   | 
  
    | 12 - 11 part 9 |  | Saturated yellow letters may look
    okay in color but look bad in black-and-white. |   | 
  
    | 12 - 12 | The COLOR WHEEL |  |   | 
  
    | 12 - 15 | DUBNER CURSOR MONITOR in the SELECT
    mode for choosing colors and FONTS. |  |   | 
  
    | 12 - 20 | Saturated colors look fuzzy, making
    lettering hard to read. Stick to pastels or white letters. |  |   | 
  
    | 12 - 36 part 1 | Compression ratios compared | Matrox Studio high compression (level
    1) stores 37 minutes of audio and video per gigabyte. Picture
    appears slightly blurry and blocky. |   | 
  
    | 12 - 36 part 2 |  | Close-up of screen showing high
    compression blockiness |   | 
  
    | 12 - 36 part 3 |  | Matrox Studio low compression (level
    5) stores 11 minutes audio and video per gigabyte. Picture looks
    quite sharp and natural. |   | 
  
    | 12 - 36 part 4 |  | Similar close-up of screen. Blockiness
    is barely visible. |   | 
  
    | 15 - 14 | COLOR BARS as seen on a properly
    adjusted monitor |  |   | 
  
    | 15 - 23 part 1 | SPLIT FIELD COLOR BARS help you
    adjust a color TV monitor having a BLUE GUN switch. | COLOR BARS on a well-adjusted color
    monitor. Note: PLUGE was not activated on the generator for this
    series of photos. |   | 
  
    | 15 - 23 part 2 |  | Activating the BLUE GUN switch tells
    the monitor to display (sometimes in shades of blue, here in
    black-and-white) only blue parts of the picture. The bars and
    the corresponding boxes under them match in brightness (as if
    the bars were longer) when the colors are correctly adjusted. |   | 
  
    | 15 - 23 part 3 |  | CHROMA or COLOR turned too high,
    colors are too vivid. |   | 
  
    | 15 - 23 part 4 |  | High CHROMA with BLUE GUN switched
    on, causes the outer bars not to match the boxes under them.
    Reduce CHROMA or COLOR until the bars match. Hint: If the last
    bar is too light (compared to the box under it) reduce CHROMA. |   | 
  
    | 15 - 23 part 5 |  | CHROMA low makes colors faded, pastel. |   | 
  
    | 15 - 23 part 6 |  | Low CHROMA with BLUE GUN activated
    causes outer bars not to match the boxes under them. Increase
    CHROMA or COLOR until the bars match. Hint: If the last bar is
    too dark (compared to the box under it) increase CHROMA. |   | 
  
    | 15 - 23 part 7 |  | PHASE or HUE is misadjusted. Colors
    aren't exactly right, although you might not notice unless you
    had a good sense of color. A monitor with misadjusted HUE will
    make faces look noticeably awful. |   | 
  
    | 15 - 23 part 8 |  | Misadjusted PHASE or HUE with BLUE
    GUN activated. The bars should alternate light-dark-light-dark,
    but don't. Also, the bars fail to match the boxes under them. |   | 
  
    | 15 - 23 part 9 |  | Slightly misadjusted PHASE or HUE
    with BLUE GUN activated. Again the bars fail to alternate light-dark-light-dark,
    but the effect is more subtle. The non-matching boxes below the
    bars make the misadjustment easier to notice. |   | 
  
    | 15 - 24 part 1 | Viewing COLOR BARS through a blue
    lens | Properly adjusted COLOR BARS on
    a color monitor, as seen through the blue lens of a Monitor Analyzer.
    The bars are evenly spaced and equal brightness. |   | 
  
    | 15 - 24 part 2 |  | COLOR BARS on a misadjusted color
    monitor as seen through a blue lens. |   | 
  
    | 17 - 7 | Striped shirt causes moire and color
    flashing. | Vertical stripes (chest) cause rainbows
    while horizontal stripes (sleeve) shimmer into moving stripes
    like a barber pole. |   |
