Video Paint / Ultimatte®

Rosco Ultimatte Paints have been specifically formulated to provide the correct luminance and RGB Values for optimum operation with the Ultimatte compositing system. The color specifications were designed in conjunction with the Ultimatte Corporation and have their official approval.

Rosco Ultimatte Paints are recommended for interior and exterior surfaces including fabrics, wallboard, plastics, plaster, brick, and concrete.

Ultimatte Paints have been designed for use with the Ultimatte System. However they can be used with Chroma Key systems as well. They provide optimal luminance and color separation when shot on either film or video.

Rosco Ultimatte Super Blue is a darker, purer blue than Ultimatte Blue. It is designed primarily for use in shooting film for Ultimatte compositing. It permits sufficient separation in the blue and green channels without having to saturate the blue layer of the negative. The result can be less noise in the telecine transfer. In addition, it can be used to reduce glare on horizontal surfaces that might interfere with a clean matte.

Colour Specifications: (Video levels when 89.9% white is at 100)

• 05720 Rosco Ultimatte® Blue
  Red:  22
  Green:  40
  Blue:  82
• 05722 Rosco Ultimatte® Super Blue

  Green:  18
  Blue:  72
• 05721 Rosco Ultimatte® Green
  Red:  29
  Green:  84
  Blue:  36

These values were measured with an Ikegami EC-35 camera with Plumbicon tubes. The iris was set so that an 89.9% reflective chip on a Porta Pattern 11 step chip chart was at 100IRE units. The gamma was set to 0.45 and the knee circuit was turned off. Different cameras may yield different levels even under the same conditions.

Caution: Do not apply when surface or air temperatures are below 50°F. Keep from freezing. Avoid prolonged contact with skin or breathing of spray. Do not take internally. Use adequate ventilation. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
