In a previous tutorial we looked at the Technicolor CineStyle profile for Canon EOS DSLRs, which enables a logarithmic curve in EOS footage to increase dynamic range and detail and provide greater latitude in grading.

The Sony PMW-F3 provides 4:4:4 recording, on output, with the CBK-RGB01 RGB and S-LOG Gamma capability installed. From color grading to compositing and chroma key the most demanding postproduction processes benefit from RGB recording. Once an option, the CBK-RGB01 RGB and S-LOG Gamma output module is now standard equipment. Install the CBK-RGB01 according to the directions that come with your card. Determine whether you will be recording 4:4:4 RGB 1.5 or 3G RGB or 4:2:2 YUV, depending on your recording device. From camcorders and studio cameras to DSLR's and minicams, we stock a comprehensive range of the latest digital cameras. So whether you want to shot a drama at 4K resolution or capture high octane images using a GoPro minicam, we have the right camera for you.

Sony PMW-F3 users can unlock the S-Log feature in their camera with the CBK-RGB01 software key ($4,400 list), which enables 3G-SDI output, Dual Link RGB444 video output and various LUTs in addition to S-Log gamma settings. We will look at the principle behind S-Log, its application, and a quick step-by-step guide.

The Sony F3 uses a 16-bit sensor sending out a 10-bit signal. While it records internally to the 8-bit XDCAM EX codec, it can output 10-bit 4:2:2 YUV or 10-bit 4:4:4 RGB (with the CBK-RGB01 unlock key). The standard HD Rec. 709 color space with the F3's cine gammas will produce a dynamic range of about 11 to 11.5 stops. The S-Log processing effectively places the entire processing capability of the 16-bit sensor into the 10-bit stream to yield a dynamic range of 13 to 13.5 stops. The result is greater detail and a far greater latitude. The S-Log option makes the PMW-F3 an entirely different camera!

The image itself will appear flat, but grading in post will bring out more detail than grading Rec. 709 footage because the S-Log material has greater range and more information. If you wish to visualize how certain ranges applied to the footage will appear, then use any of the built-in LUTs (lookup tables) in camera. The LUT is only a representation for visualizing the image, not a final output product. This is important to understand.

In firmware version 1.2 (release notes PDF), Sony enabled the use of EI (exposure index) settings equivalent to ISO 800-3200. Note that applying these EI changes affects only the appearance of the LUT. The purpose is to visualize how far you can 'push' the image. Think of the old days of film when you could 'push' your ISO 100 film to maybe 400.

A 10-Step Guide to S-Log

  1. Install the CBK-RGB01 according to the directions that come with your card.
  2. Determine whether you will be recording 4:4:4 RGB 1.5 or 3G RGB or 4:2:2 YUV, depending on your recording device.
  3. You can record 4:4:4 RGB only to a device that accepts Dual Link or 3G—at the moment, that list includes the Sony SR-R1 HDCAM SR solid-state recorder, Convergent Design Gemini 444 and Cinedeck—or directly into your NLE via a capture card that supports Dual Link or 3G HD-SDI.
  4. If recording Dual Link/3G, set the Video Set -> Dual Link & Gamma Select menu to 1.5G or 3G RGB444 & S-Log (depending on your device). Set the SDI/HDMI menu to SDI or HDMI, depending on how you are monitoring. You can view the LUT output only via the HD-SDI or HDMI outputs. Turn on the S-Log LUT option, select a LUT and optionally apply an EI (Exposure Index) to give yourself an idea of how much range you have in the shot, both to protect your highlights and preserve shadow detail. The EI only shifts the dynamic range up or down.
  5. If recording to an eternal 4:2:2 device, set the Dual Link menu for 1.5G RGB444 & S-Log, and the HD-SDI mode for HD-SDI or HDMI. You cannot select both. In this configuration, the LUT will be output through the SDI or HDMI ports, meaning that turning on the LUT will actually record it. Thus, to avoid recording the LUTed output, turn off the LUT. Firmware version 1.3 will allow the use of 4:2:2 signals from the A port of the Dual Link, preserving the ability to view LUTed material through the HDMI or SDI ports.
  6. In S-Log, white balance can be preset only to 3,200°K or 5,600°K. There is no manual or auto white balance. White balance can be adjusted in picture profile with the 1.2 camera firmware. Also, all Picture Profiles are turned off.
  7. Exposure is best set using a waveform monitor, but even without a WFM you can set exposure using either a monitor with false color or the percentage indicator in the F3 viewfinder, which will be close to the IRE measurement on the WFM. One rule of thumb that I use is to make a test exposure for the scene by exposing a gray card around 35 percent. I will keep skin highlights in the 40 to 45 percent range. I certainly do not want to exceed 50 percent. When I use my Zacuto viewfinder, which displays false color, I err on the side of underexposed, mostly to protect my highlights.
  8. Transfer footage to your favorite NLE or grading application. Whether using color wheels or curves, I like to set my contrast first. Then adjust gamma. Raise or lower your highlights as desired. Add saturation. Correct colors as needed. Then tweak to establish your desired look.
  9. You can also use a plug-in (in my case, for Apple Final Cut Pro 7) from Pomfort Software called SLog2Video. It will apply a Rec. 709 gamma curve to S-Log video as a starting point for grading.
  10. S-Log will also be recorded to internal SxS cards and, if LUT is turned on, the LUTed image will be recorded. This will be most useful when firmware 1.3 is released, which will allow 4:2:2 recording via the A port, leaving the SDI/HDMI ports for LUTed output, if desired.

INTRODUCTION OF THE NEW CBK-RGB01 4:4:4 RGB AND S-LOG OUTPUT OPTIONAL SOFTWARE FOR PMW-F3K/L
TYPE: INTRODUCTION
Sony is pleased to announce the introduction of the CBK-RGB01 Optional Firmware Upgrade for the
PMW-F3 XDCAM EX 35mm Camcorder. This new upgrade enables the following functions:
1. S-Log gamma
2. 3G-SDI output
3. Dual Link RGB444 video output
4. User LUTs
5. Pre-loaded LUTs
RGB 4:4:4 Output
RGB 4:4:4 1080 23.98/ 25/ 29.97PsF signal is available over an HD-SDI dual-link interface or 3G HD-SDI
output (menu defined), allowing the use of an external recorder such as the SR-R1 SRMemory Recorder
for the highest quality output for VFX works such as Chroma-key, compositing, and CGI. The Dual Link
HD-SDI option enables 10-bit RGB 23.98/25/29.97PsF or 10 bit 4:2:2 108050P/59.94P uncompressed
external recording – ideal for integration with high quality production workflows such as HDCAM SR.
S-Log Gamma
S-Log mode is available with a wide dynamic range (800%) in the RGB 4:4:4 10-bit signal.
Built in LUTs
Retain the maximum dynamic range from shadow details to highlight. Exactly the same S-Log workflow
as for high-end products such as the Sony F-35.
LUT (Look Up Table)
LUTs can be applied to HD-SDI output and SxS recording off-line. User-defined LUTs (created by CVP
file editor) can be stored by using an SxS card. LUTs can be used for off-line edit with the SxS
recorded content. Users can also transfer user-defined LUTs from one camera to another for ease of
set up.
*
This new software upgrade option requires the installation of v1.10 operational firmware for the PMWF3K/
L. The PMW-F3K/L v1.10 firmware is user installable via an SxS card, and downloadable, along with
instructions, from the Sony ServicesPlus website: https://www.servicesplus.sel.sony.com/sonysoftware.aspx
*
List Price Qty Available
CBK-RGB01 - 4:4:4 RGB and S-Log output option software for PMW-F3K/L $ 4,440 - 1 June, 2011
Features and specifications are preliminary and subject to change without notice.
