correctors and legalisers return to the Australia
for
I'm a Celebrity - Get Me Out of Here! Eyeheight's LE-2M video/audio legaliser and CC-2M colour corrector. Murwillumbah, Australia, November 16, 2014: Eyeheight colour correctors and legalisers have returned to the tropical jungle of New South Wales for the latest series of the television show I'm a Celebrity - Get Me Out of Here! The programme's 14th UK series commenced on November 16th, transmitted across the ITV network. This year's contestants include newsreader Michael Buerk, World Superbike champion Carl Fogarty and television presenter Melanie Sykes. Eyeheight
legalisers will also be used during the German follow-on series, Ich
bin ein Star - Holt Mich Hier Raus! which will be transmitted by RTL.
Both series are produced in 1920 x 1080 high-definition from a
production site at Murwillumbah on the edge of a sub-tropical rain
forest. Designed for use in live television content creation and post-production, Eyeheight's LE-2M legaliser ensures that incoming signal video is held within the required broadcast colour-space parameters, such as EBU-R103. Incoming SDI or HD-SDI video is auto-detected and the appropriate legalising format then applied. The LE-2M
incorporates six user memories plus common presets. Additional
legalisation features include automatic luma overshoot and undershoot
suppression together with luma and chroma gain, black level adjustment,
hue rotation, adjustable clipping levels and soft-clipping-knee levels.
An 'out-of-gamut' indication feed displays overshoot or undershoot
severity and shows the user where on the picture any signal correction
is being performed. Automatic real-time control of perceptual loudness
and true peak level are also provided. Eyeheight's
CC-2M colour corrector allows independent real-time adjustment of red,
green and blue component levels, master gain, lift, gamma and hue. A
preview output provides a configurable split screen showing processed
and unprocessed picture. The CC-2M has a
dedicated control panel which can be used to control up to six plug-in
modular colour correction cards in a single-rack-unit intelligent
chassis with easy channel switching. Up to eight panels can be
networked. The system also includes a maintenance mode to assist
installation. Eyeheight
