EL Zone Exposure System
Advantages to use in cameras
1. Using the original raw sensor data, you get the best representation of how the camera reacts to individual stops. Especially with the extremes there is the advantage in accuracy, compared to monitoring signals.
2. Less room for user error for set-up
3. Exposure Latitude tailored to individual Camera's Sensor
The System corrects what's needed to be fixed in False Color and IRE, Waveform Monitors' limited ability in mapping the exposure in details of the images...

@mediaworksokc Unfortunately, the patent holder will not allow us to implement this.

Interesting, it sure seemed like they wanted people to utilize the system when it was announced. I guess it won’t be widely adopted. Atomos and SmallHD must have something to do with it. Thank you for looking at it.

No problem. The fact that something this simple can be patented is a bit ridiculous anyway, but oh well.

Would love to add this, at least for log shooting!
The original scale doesn’t seem all that useful for Rec.709 and other color spaces that don’t have many stops above 18% gray. Do you have a preferred behavior in this case?

I am by no means an expert, and yes I would think log would be the target audience with whatever color/lut blocks downstream, I’m not sure about 709 but have seen people using it that way but could not comment on a desired behavior.
