Re: HELP! on monitoring
It seems as though most houses here in Chicago are have standardized
using the BVM-19XX series monitors.
However, what isn't standardized seems to be the probe/setup. Some
houses use the Sony Auto Setup (usually, I believe using the SMPTE
standard) and others use the Minolta. The split between who's using what
might be about half and half. The end result is that on a BVM-19XX, the
Sony setup is greener, especially in the midtones (or the zeroed Minolta
setup redder depending how you look at it).
This can lead to big problems (how 'bout dem flesh tones) when a transfer
is done out of house (at a place using a different probe/setup) and then
finished in-house. We've actually stored the settings from another house
in a different memory location in the BVM so that we can easily switch to
their setup. I'm curious as to what others' experience with this has
been and what probe/standard is being used.
