ARRILASER Interactive Configuration Editor
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. General input parameters like start/end
frame, calibration and loader-LUT can also be specified
and will be transferred to the GUI input window when
quitting and saving the ALICE window. Furthermore
additional information is provided about the input
images such as image type, pixel size and bit depth.
Analyzing and controlling tools further simplify the
configuration process.
The purpose of ALICE is
• to judge the quality of the input images
• to select the frame range visually
• to build a job and select appropriate job settings
with visual control of the final rendered images
positioned on the film.
• By choosing an ICC profile for the workstation monitor,
the effect on the actual output on film can be previewed.
This is especially helpful in transferring colors that lie
outside of the normally reproduced color space of the
choosen film. All results can be accurately previewed.
ALICE uses the same image processing as the image pro-
cessing used during recording. Therefore, the results of image
processing operations previewed in ALICE are completely
identical to those being recorded later. Zooming in and out is
always done by replicating or omitting pixels to exclude
all possibility of inaccuracy of the displayed image.
