Confirm and calibrate your FDC Multi LPL calibration tool and know your calibration is accurate with the FDC Master with Calibration Meter & FDC LPL Mount. A necessary tool for maintaining the accuracy of your gear, the FDC Master provides you with peace of mind using a standard with micron accuracy. This version has an LPL mount and is suitable for checking the accuracy of your LPL-mounted FDC calibration tool.

Insert your FDC Multi LPL into the FDC Master as you would into your camera, and the FDC Master outputs its test pattern via SDI or CVBS for viewing on a monitor and making adjustments. Line up the image, and confirm your FDC tool is calibrated; if not, use an optional Allen wrench on the three adjustment screws to reset your FDC Multi or Light.

Optical Calibration Tools

• Optical calibration tools for sensors have replaced the mechanical depth gauges that traditionally were used for measuring the flange depth in film cameras, as touching the sensor of a digital camera can damage it
• Optical calibration tools can be used with both single-sensor and film cameras, as they do not use a mechanical gauge and thus does not physically touch your sensor

Confirm and Calibrate

• Evaluate the high-resolution black-and-white image on an SDI monitor
• If your FDC Multi or FDC Light is not set to 0 when the image is aligned, loosen the three Allen set screws, realign the scale ring, and tighten the set screws
• The FDC Master has a CVBS output for when a monitor that supports SDI is not available
