5 1 ALICE A R R I L A S E R I n t e r a c t i v e C o n f i g u r a t i o n E d i t o r The ALICE offers the fastest, easiest and safest way to generate a new image processing configuration file and gives visual control over the whole image process from the raw input sequence to the final images positioned on the film.

It is mainly intended as a reference. In this window a configuration file for the image processing can be build.
12 Output Format • The determination of the ‘ output format ’ photo is a two-stage selection procedure: F i rs t th e d es i r e d p ro j e c t i o n a s p e c t r a t i o m us t b e c ho o s e n (i.e.: 1:2,35 CS means squeezed for projection with ci n em asc o pe le n s es ) .
13 Crop Area • W i th th e c r op n od e a ‘ cr o p a r e a ‘ p ho t o can be specified by t h e x / y- s i z e a n d t h e o r i g i n o f t h e c r o p b o x i n r e l a t i o n t o t h e o r ig i n al im a g e. By se lec t in g a p ro j e ct i on a sp e c t r at i o ( e .
14 Crop box handling with the aspect unlocked: If the image should not be cropped in order to get the se l ec ted ou t pu t fo r ma t t h e ´ l o ck as p e ct ´ bu t to n p ho t o can be switched off. This mode allows to only downsize the aspect ratio starting from the chosen ratio in the ‘ output format ’ node.

16 Deinterlace The ‘ deinterlace ‘ p ho t o node enables the merging of two fields of video originated frames. There are no arguments required. • For quick comparison between ‘ deinterlace ’ on/off toggle key D in the processed view mode.
17 CMS The Color Management system (‘ CMS ‘ p ho t o ) node is us ed t o a pp l y h i g h q ua l i ty p ro f il e s f o r s t an d a rd d ev i ce s such as Sony HD Monitor and Kodak Vision pri.
18 3 The File Menu ‘ Preferences ’ has three tabs: • Appearance : to adjust the background, perforation, film, soundtrack and frame line color in the film view . T ransparency of soundtrack and frame line can also be adjusted. The general ALICE font can be changed as well.
19 • ‘ Select sequence ’: The file browser opens and the sequence can be selected in the display . This change will also be returned to the ALGUI, if ALICE is left with saving. • ‘ Save configuration as… ’ will open the file menu. The actual image processing configuration can be saved without leaving ALICE.
20 4 Configuration 4.1 Naming Conventions in ALICE O n s t a rt u p, A L IC E an a l y ze s a l l co n f i g u r at i o n f i le s , d i r ec t o r i e s and environment variables relevant for recording. In addition to the information stored in the files, there are some conventions for naming files.
21 Inter Positive fullap geometries Geometr y files named ‘ ipfullap*.cfg ‘ are used as fullap geometries for intermed positive recording. For each supported pitch there must be one (and not more than one) ip fullap geometr y file. ALICE is installed with ip fullap geometries for all supported pitches.
22 4.2 Input Format File Specification Location of input format file The fully qualified path and filename of the input format file is specified in the environment variable ALICE_ INPUT_FORMA T_FILE. The suggested location is ‘ c: al al i ce co n f ig a li c eI n p ut F o rm a ts .

24 4.3 Fine-tuning ALICE Memory Footprint The amount of memor y ALICE consumes depends on the ma x im um i ma g e s i ze t o b e p r oc e s se d , a n d t h e m ax i m um size of its internal image cache. The image cache limit can be influenced by the environment variable ALICE_MEM_FRACTION.

26 4.4.2 Network Timeouts Whenever browsing file ser vers or disc recorders with the ‘Open Sequence‘ dialog in ALICE, or the ‘Browse” dialog in the ALGUI, waiting for inactive ser vers can be annoying. Therefore timeouts can be adjusted in the network tab ph oto of the preferences panel of ALICE.
27 4.4.4 Command Line Inter face Syntax Frames on a disc recorder can be accessed by the alexpose command as files, using the protocol-like filename convention: ‘ dr://<host name>/<partition name>/<clip name>/<frame number> ‘ e.
28 5 Color Management for Video Look 5.1 O p er at io n fr o m A LI CE 5 . 1 . 1 C o n f i g u r a t i o n o f C M S n o d e i n A L I C E • Choose monitor profile ‘ sony_hd ‘ from the list besi.
29 5.1.2 Soft clip Parameter As the color gamuts of film and monitor are different, not all colors that are visible on the monitor can be reproduced on film. In order not to lose too much detail in those areas, it is required that either the lightness or the chromaticity of these areas is reduced.
30 5.1.3 Display settings Proof : Since the color profiles directly generate cineon data, judging the effect of the Color Management on the screen can be difficult. Therefore, the proof mode allows for simulating the appearance of the recorded image on the workstation monitor .
31 in which those areas are indicated can be choosen (p r ef era b le a c o lo r wh i ch i s n o t s o p r es e n t i n t h e i m ag e s) an d ho w to s ho w t he d is t an c e of t ho s e col o rs t o the g am u t . fixed color : All out-of-gamut pixels are drawn with the out-of-gamut color selected in preferences.

33 5.2.3 Color Management Node The Color Management node is part of the ARRILASER im a ge pr o ce s si n g s y s te m . I t a l l ow s t h e u s e o f a l l f e a tu r es of the Color Management through its scripting interface. Please refer to chapter 5.
34 Node type identifier and node arguments The Color Management node is identified by the keyword ‘CMS’. Argument T ype Default Description monitor profile string - ICC profile to be used as monit.
35 5.2.4 Soft clip Configuration File Colors outside the recorder gamut cannot be recorded without changes, since they do not exist on film. By default, these colors are hard clipped into the recorder gamut. T o smoothly clip these colors, a compression of the monitor gamut has to be done.
36 For each entr y in the soft clip configuration file, the following parameters are valid: soft clip name of the setting, used as value of soft clip parameter of the CMS node.
