CA25 - La Inseparable Relación Entre Luz, Color Y Contraste - Ben Díaz 1

En el mundo audiovisual existe una desconexión palpable entre la técnica operativa, las especificaciones o recomendaciones de protocolos en vídeo, fortometría o colorimetría, y la aplicación de la teoría en resultados palpables. Tanto la iluminación como el vídeo, ya hablemos de luminarias, cámaras, proyectores o displays, dependen de la luz en el ámbito físico, hasta el punto de condicionar por completo la matemática que traduce esas condiciones de un formato a otro. La presente charla pretende clarificar el concepto de contraste en cuanto a su relación con la luz desde el punto del diseño de iluminación o de la dirección de fotografía, para así comprender mejor dónde radican las principales diferencias para el usuario final entre sistemas de color, curvas de gamma o formatos de alta o baja definición. Los asistentes podrán llegar a entender mejor qué hay detrás de formatos como el SD y el HDR, cómo se relacionan los espacios de color del vídeo con los de la iluminación, o cómo funciona nuestro ojo a la hora de evaluar las imágenes que observa, ya sea en el mundo real o a través de interfaces electrónicos.
