DSC Laboratories

DSC Laboratories, proudly based in Mississauga, Ontario, has been the global backbone of colour science and image calibration since 1962. Their precision–calibrated test charts—like ChromaDuMonde, ChromaMatch, Xyla, and CamBelles—are the go-to tools for cinematographers, engineers, and DPs aiming for spot-on color accuracy and image consistency.

Used in top-tier production environments—from major movies to network shows—DSC's charts help camera operators match multiple sources, nail skin tones, and confirm lens sharpness—all with measurable, repeatable precision.

The celebrated ChromaMatch series, for instance, is made in Canada and delivers intuitive visual color matching with classic ChromaDuMonde colors and grayscales—optimized across labs, studios, sets, and post-production workflows.

Their ChromaDuMonde line features Rec. 709 vector colors, crossed grayscale, hyperbolic resolution targets, skin tone patches, and more—perfect for on-set checks and calibration fidelity.

And for assessing exposure and tonal range? Their Xyla charts span up to 25 f-stops of dynamic range—essential for HDR work and high-contrast scenes.

Even legend broadcasters like BBC Studios trust DSC charts—deploying them for 3D calibration across major primetime shows like EastEnders.

Across Canada and worldwide, DSC Labs charts are the quiet heroes behind cinematic consistency—from capturing that perfect skin tone to ensuring every frame hits the same look, every time.
