Need Digital Competition Monitor specs

[Christine_Walsh-Newton]

Hello - Print chair here trying to find out the monitor specs required at districts. That information used to be in the Jury Chairman's Manual, but does not appear in the 2011 version.

Please help - thank you.

PPA will ship and calibrate the monitors. The entry specs are in the rules. Did you need anything else?

Sarah,
I've spoke with Christine when I signed her up to help staff the ASP booth, and she is looking for the specs that are used at the Districts to use in calibrating a monitor (or a set of monitors if they can get a set) for their state competition. I have the specs that Ron gave me written down in one of my notebooks but can't put my hands on it right now. If he is available can you have him repost the specs. I'm still looking for my notes to send the info to Christine.

Christine - here's what I have found - my notebook is still MIA...

VIEWING CONDITONS FOR IMAGE REVIEW
Prints – Tungsten lighting, 3100K, EV8 (ISO 100, f/16@ 1 sec.)
Digital Files – Monitor Settings, D65, 120 cd/m2, 2.20 gamma

These are the current specs for the monitors and the competition lighting. Hope this helps to answer your question.

These are last year's version of the monitors described in the NEC link above

Calibrating should be the same as for members preping their images. There is a tutorial video on the site for that.

Thank you for the info - Rick is correct, I was wanting to replicate as closely as possible the affiliated digital judging setup for a state-level conference we are having this weekend.
