I am investigating a DI style workflow for a broadcast series program. I completely see the benefits of grading in log for 'film out' productions and want to have the same latitude and control while grading scanned data for broadcast only work. With this workflow in mind I am trying to work out the difference between a Cineon LOG scan and a Flat 'one light' linear telecine xfer where all the detail of the negative is transferred to disk. ie: nothing is crushed or clipped in the xfer. My confusion comes in the understanding of the actual scanned frame in Cineon format. Is it ... A: a linear scan that is expecting to see a logarithmic gamma curve LUT so that one can view it in its expected final form - on film. or B: Is it actually a special type of scan where the image Data is packed higher across the white and black areas of the picture. or have I got the concept completely wrong. Any input would be hugely apreciated. Adrian Hauser Melbourne Australia [/quote]
