Brightness and Contrast: Cinema Standards Management System (CSMS)
Specifications
- Brightness: 16 foot-Lamberts (fL)
- Contrast Ratio: 221:1
These measurements are taken from the projector in a controlled, home
theater environment. All measurements are made to ANSI/NAPM IT7.228-
1997 specifications using the Photo Research PR-650 SpectraColorimeter
and Minolta LS-100 Luminance Meter, Video Essentials test DVD and a 1.3
gain, 72-inch wide screen. The projector is calibrated to a color temperature of
6,500°K and has a minimum of 150 hours of usage.
The foot-Lambert (fL) is the unit of measurement used in commercial movie
theaters to express image brightness at the screen surface. The Society of
Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) specifies 16 fL as the target
image brightness for film-based projectors using an open gate (without film in
the projector). More importantly, today SMPTE specifies 12 fL as the target
image brightness in Digital Cinema theaters. The foot-Lambert measurement is
dependent on screen size, screen gain and projector light output.
Home Theater Calibration Specifications
- Light Output: 412 ANSI Lumens
- Contrast Ratio: (tbd)
Industry-Standard Specifications
- Light Output: 800 ANSI Lumens
- Contrast Ratio: 2500:1
These are typical projector brightness and contrast specifications found in most
companies’ sales literature. Runco includes these measurements in its literature
to allow for direct comparison with other manufacturers’ projectors. These
measurements are typically taken at 9,000
°K to 13,000°K to get expected
performance data when the projector is used in professional, commercial and
industrial displays.
