Display Management and Output Simulation

Display Management and Output Simulation

And in the middle of all of this great responsibility comes
a genuinely fun feature, Output Simulation, which simulates
how your comp will look on a particular device. The
“device” in question can include fi lm projection, and the
process of representing that environment on your monitor
works better than you might expect.
Suppose you need to know how an image (Figure 11.6)
would appear on NTSC and PAL standard defi nition television,
and you don’t have a standard def broadcast monitor
to preview either of those formats.
No problem. With the viewer selected choose View > Simulate
Output > SDTV NTSC. Here’s what happens:
. The appearance of the footage changes to match the
output simulation. The viewer displays After Effects’
simulation of an NTSC monitor.
