     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0002]    The present invention relates to a video conversion device, a photography system for a motion picture system employing the same, a video conversion method, and a recording medium with such a video conversion program recorded thereon, and more particularly, to a video conversion device which can streamline color designing and adjusting work performed in the course of video production, that is, in the course of motion picture production or TV program production and which can check colors in a final display device reproduced from camera video data captured using plural cameras particularly at a shooting location of a motion picture system, a video conversion method, a photography system for a motion picture system using the video conversion device, and a computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a video conversion program causing a computer to perform the video conversion method. 
         [0003]    Conventionally, in a motion picture system, a recording medium such as a positive film for screening (distribution film for screening) used for a film projector or a hard disk for screening (portable distribution hard disk for screening) having recorded thereon video data for screening used for a digital projector has been produced to screen a motion picture using a projector. 
         [0004]    Conventionally, in a motion picture production workflow of producing the positive film for screening or the hard disk for screening, digital video data obtained by reading and digitalizing a photographed and developed negative film for video shooting by the use of an image input device such as a telecine machine, digital video data obtained by capturing an image by the use of a digital imaging camera for cinematography, or digital video data of computer graphics (CG) produced by the use of a computer or the like is acquired under directions of a director of photography, the acquired digital video data is subjected to digital video processing, editing, and color correction and also visual and auditory senses are added thereto in an editing process which is a post process after shooting (post production) to prepare video data after editing and processing, that is, video source data, and the video source data is output to a positive film for screening via an intermediate negative film and projected by the use of a film projector, or the video source data is converted into output data which is output to a hard disk for screening or the like or directly distributed and projected by the use of a digital projector (see Patent Literature 1). 
         [0005]    Patent Literature 1 discloses video conversion method and device in a motion picture system which can simply perform correction of video characteristics such as color correction of a video signal obtained through electronic imaging using a video camera, similarly to a case where a video signal obtained using a cinema film is processed. 
         [0006]    Patent Literature 2 does not relate to a motion picture system but discloses image processing apparatus and method in which the image processing apparatus is connected to a display apparatus to transmit thereto image information, acquires or selects reproducibility characteristic information of the connected display apparatus, and converts the image information utilizing the acquired reproducibility characteristic information such that accurate color image is reproduced by the display apparatus. 
         [0007]    Meanwhile, the post process of video production (post production) which is an editing process after shooting is generally a cooperative work among various persons such as a director of photography, a producer and a colorist, or various companies and requires transmitting data between persons or between companies and designing the overall processes extending over persons or extending over companies. However, since data formats or image conversion workflows do not have any standard, supplemental work such as format conversion or color space conversion is necessary, thereby causing an increase in work complexity, a decrease in image quality, and an increase in the number of process steps.

       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
       [0010]    Accordingly, standardization of color adjustment in the post production which is a post process of video production has been aimed for by the film academy (The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which is abbreviated as AMPAS).  FIG. 10  shows an example of a color conversion architecture of the digital motion picture production workflow standard AMPAS-IIF advocated by the AMPAS. 
         [0011]    In the color conversion architecture of AMPAS-IIF shown in  FIG. 10 , digital video data conversion is basically defined by two common color spaces of an input color space ACES (Academy Color Encoding Specification)  100  and an output color space OCES (Output Color Encoding Specification)  102 , a common conversion RRT (Reference Rendering Transform)  104  correlating the two common color spaces with each other, and an input device conversion IDT (Input Device Transform)  106 /an output device conversion ODT (Output Device Transform)  108  carrying out conversion between an input/output device and the corresponding common space. 
         [0012]    The IDT  106  serves to transform video data captured by a digital camera  110  (color space of the digital camera) into the ACES  100  which is the common color space for input. The ODT  108  serves to transform the video data from the OCES  102  which is the common color space for output into output video data of a digital projector  112  (color space of the digital projector). 
         [0013]    That is, in the digital video data transform system, the video data captured by the digital camera  110  is transformed into the ACES  100  by the IDT  106 , video data of a computer graphics (CG)  114  is directly transformed into the ACES  100 , the resultant is subjected to editing and processing such as color adjustment in the ACES  100 , the resultant is transformed into the OCES  102  by the RRT  104 , and the resultant is transformed from the OCES  102  into the output video data of the digital projector  112  by the RDT/ODT  108 . 
         [0014]    In addition, a standard negative film density APD (AMPAS Printing Density)  116  and an ADX  118  obtained by encoding the standard negative film density are defined, a UB transform/inverse transform  120  including a fixed transform (universal build) and its inverse transform (universal unbuild) with respect to the input color space ACES  100  is set, and a digital image data transform system and a conventional silver halide film system are made to correspond to each other. 
         [0015]    In the silver halide film system, image density data read from a film, which has been obtained by capturing an image using a film camera, by the use of a film scanner  122  is converted into density data of the standard negative film density APD  116 , the resultant is further converted into the ADX code  118 , the resultant is converted into the ACES  100  by the UB transform  120 , the resultant is subjected to editing and processing such as color adjustment in the ACES  100 , the resultant is converted again into the ADX code  118  from the ACES  100  by the inverse transform  120 , an intermediate negative film  126  is prepared by a film recorder  124 , a positive film for motion picture is prepared by an optical printing  128 , and the positive film is provided to a film projector  130 . 
         [0016]    Here, the ACES  100  is defined as a scene-referred color space and has values obtained by linearly transforming tristimulus values XYZ of CIE obtained by measuring a scene itself with a colorimeter, in which chromaticities of three primary colors of RGB covering all spectrum loci are determined as shown in  FIG. 11  and are encoded in 16 bits (bit float). That is, the color gamut and the dynamic range of image data which can be described in the ACES  100  can be said to be infinite. Reference white of the ACES  100  is defined as D60. 
         [0017]    The ACES  100  which is such a vast color space is also a common color space in which images captured with the film camera and the digital camera and CG images are stored as original image masters. Color adjustment is carried out in the ACES space. 
         [0018]    On the other hand, the OCES  102  is an output color space in which an ideal display device having a dynamic range of 1,000,000:1 or more is assumed and corresponds to the ACES color space  100  through the RRT conversion  104  in a one-to-one manner. The OCES  102  is positioned as an internal color space of the AMPAS-IIF and it is not assumed therein that a general user directly handles the OCES image data. 
         [0019]    In this way, the AMPAS-IIF gives a standard to a post production process of video production and provides an architecture for converting various video sources into a standard working color space for color adjustment (scene-referred color space (ACES)), an architecture for transforming a video for viewing in movie screening or TV broadcasting from the ACES to a color space of an ideal output device (OCES), and an architecture for converting colors from the OCES to those of an actual display device, whereby it is possible to streamline troublesome image conversion and color adjustment operations in the editing process after shooting. 
         [0020]    In this way, by complying with the standard workflow in the post production, it is possible to perform operations in a standard data format and a standard color space and to reduce supplemental work in image conversion, thereby streamlining the color adjustment operation, improving image quality, and reducing the number of processes. 
         [0021]    However, digital cameras of various manufacturers and types are used in capturing a video, monitors of various manufacturers and types are used to check the captured video, and thus color spaces of signals to be displayed on the monitor for checking are diverse. Accordingly, colors cannot be strictly evaluated at the time of checking a video at the shooting location and thus color adjustment on a video is carried out in post production which is a post process of video production. The color conversion architecture of the AMPAS-IIF is used for the color adjustment of a video in the post production so as to streamline the color adjustment operation, to improve image quality, and to reduce the number of processes, but since a director of photography at the shooting location has a right to make a decision of captured colors in the video production, the director of photography directing the shooting at the location goes to a location of post production after the shooting and performs the color adjustment work necessary for various scenes, cuts, or frames so as to reproduce colors suitable for shooting intention for each scene while watching the captured video along with a colorist who is a specialist of color adjustment in the post production. 
         [0022]    Since this color adjustment work is generally a process which is finished after trial and error, all the videos should be watched. In addition, since cuts or frames to be color-adjusted should be repeatedly watched several times, there is a problem in that it takes a very long time for the work. Further, since a director of photography or a colorist requiring high personnel expenses performs the work, there is a problem in that the cost of video production increases. 
         [0023]    Meanwhile, Patent Literature 1 discloses a technique of tuning a video signal captured with a video camera to color characteristics of a cinema film, but does not aim at conversion for fitting characteristics of video signals captured with video cameras having different characteristics or color conversion faithful to captured scenes. In addition, also in the technique disclosed in Patent Literature 2, the conversion for fitting the characteristics of images captured with cameras having different characteristics is not carried out and thus images having colors faithful to the captured scenes are not displayed on a display. 
         [0024]    Therefore, even if these techniques are used, it is not possible to streamline color adjustment work in the post production of motion picture production by performing the color adjustment work at the shooting location in advance. 
         [0025]    The present invention has been conducted in order to dissolve the above-mentioned problems in the conventional technology, and an object thereof is to provide a video conversion device which can allow a director of photography to perform color adjustment at the shooting location in the course of video production, that is, in the course of motion picture production or TV program production and which can carry out color conversion faithful to captured scenes on respective video data captured with plural cameras and matching of colors between the plural cameras with high accuracy when performing the color adjustment on the video data captured with the plural cameras while checking videos with plural monitors, thereby which can further streamline video production processes, reduce costs and improve quality of a video, and also to provide a photography system for a motion picture system employing the video conversion device, a video conversion method, and a recording medium of a video conversion program.

         [0061]      FIG. 1  is a block diagram schematically illustrating an example of a configuration of a motion picture system using a video conversion device according to an embodiment of the present invention. 
       EXAMPLES 
       [0062]    As shown in  FIG. 1 , a motion picture system  10  includes a photography system (shooting location)  12  that captures a video with a camera to acquire a camera video data signal and that performs color adjustment thereon, a video production system (post production)  14  that prepares video source data by editing and processing of the camera video data from the photography system  12  and that produces digital video data for output to a digital projector or a positive film for screening with a film projector, and a screening system (theater)  16  that screens motion picture videos by the use of the digital projector or the film projector. 
         [0063]    The photography system  12  at the shooting location includes two cameras A 18   a  and B 18   b , two video conversion devices A 20   a  and B 20   b  according to the present invention that are connected to the cameras A 18   a  and B 18   b  (generically referenced by reference numeral  18 ), respectively, monitors A 22   a  and B 22   b  that are connected to the video conversion devices A 20   a  and B 20   b , respectively, an edited and processed video storage device  24  that stores an edited and processed video data for output with a low resolution which is obtained by editing and processing such as color adjustment in the video conversion devices A 20   a  and B 20   b  and details of the editing and processing, a controller  26  that controls the video conversion devices A 20   a  and B 20   b  and the edited and processed video storage device  24 , a color adjustment input assistant device  27  that assists a color adjustment operation of the controller  26 , and a captured video storage device  28  that stores camera video data acquired by capturing a video with the cameras  18 . 
         [0064]    The cameras  18  serve to shoot a video of a subject to acquire a camera video data signal. The cameras are not particularly limited as long as they can acquire the camera video data signal, and a digital video camera or a digital camera which can acquire digital video data can be preferably used. The photography system  12  shown in the drawing includes two cameras A 18   a  and B 18   b , but may include three or more cameras.

         [0069]    The video conversion devices A 20   a  and B 20   b  (generically referenced by reference numeral  20 ) transmit an editing information file EDL (Edit Decision List), in which details (such as color adjustment parameters, gray-scale adjustment parameters, and other image processing parameters) of editing and processing such as color adjustment performed by the director of photography or the like such as a CDL (Color Decision List) or a 3DLUT (3-Dimensional Look-Up Table) for color adjustment are described, along with a time code of the camera video data to the video production system  14  for post production. Here, the CDL is a description of details of the editing and processing (including modification of colors and gray scales and other overall image processing), which are performed on camera video data as raw data, and the 3DLUT is used to carry out the details of the editing and processing. The EDL such as the CDL or the 3DLUT including the time code is transmitted to the video production system (post production)  14  and is used to edit and process camera video data for preparing video source data in the video production system  14 . 
         [0070]    In this way, a state of color adjustment at the shooting location can be transmitted from the photography system  12  to the post production  14 . 
         [0071]    Here, since the camera video data used in the video conversion device  20  is used to check a video or to adjust colors thereof, the camera video data does not need to be camera video data of a full size captured with the cameras  18  and may be camera video data of a small size or camera video data with a low resolution. When the real-time property of the color adjustment is regarded as important, it is preferable that the camera video data be camera video data of a small size with a low resolution. 
         [0072]    The detailed configuration of the video conversion device  20  will be described later. 
         [0073]    The monitors A 22   a  and B 22   b  (generically referenced by reference numeral  22 ) are disposed corresponding to the video conversion devices A 20   a  and B 20   b  in a one-to-one (1:1) correspondence manner, are display devices for displaying results of the color adjustment in the video conversion devices A 20   a  and B 20   b , and are monitors for checking colors of a video, colors of which are adjusted immediately after shooting by a director of photography or the like and which is screened with a projector, immediately at the shooting location. 
         [0074]    As described above, when three or more video conversion devices are disposed, it is preferable that three or more monitors be disposed respectively corresponding thereto. 
         [0075]    The monitors used in the present invention are not particularly limited as long as they can reproduce and display the colors of a video screened with a projector of the screening system  16 , and known display devices can be used. The monitors used in the present invention may be of different manufacturers or different types. In that case, the present invention can exhibit the advantageous effects better. 
         [0076]    In this embodiment, as described above, it is preferable that plural cameras  18  be used, plural video conversion devices  20  respectively corresponding to the plural cameras  18  be disposed, and plural monitors  22  respectively corresponding to the plural video conversion devices  20  be disposed, that is, it is preferable that the cameras  18 , the video conversion devices  20 , and the monitors  22  correspond to each other in a 1:1:1 correspondence manner, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration and plural cameras  18  may be disposed for one video conversion device  20  or plural monitors  22  may be disposed for one video conversion device  20  even when a single video conversion device  20  is used or even when plural video conversion devices  20  are used. 
         [0077]    The edited and processed video storage device  24  serves to store an edited and processed video data for output with a low resolution which is obtained by editing and processing such as color adjustment in the video conversion device  20  and includes a hard disk, a memory, or the like. Here, the edited and processed video data for output with a low resolution is video data obtained by performing editing and processing (including modification of colors or gray scales and other overall image processing) on camera video data as raw data. It is preferable that the edited and processed video data with a low resolution be video data obtained by editing and processing camera video data with a low resolution. 
         [0078]    The edited and processed video data with a low resolution stored in the edited and processed video storage device  24  is transmitted to the video production system (post production)  14  and is used to edit and process the camera video data for preparing video source data in the video production system  14 . 
         [0079]    In this embodiment, the camera video data with a low resolution or the edited and processed video data with a low resolution or the low-resolution image of an edited and processed video is not limited to video data or images originally having a low resolution, but may be obtained by compressing video data, a video, or an image with a high resolution or a normal resolution or may be lowered in resolution by compression. 
         [0080]    The controller  26  serves to control the video conversion devices  20  and the edited and processed video storage device  24  and constitutes the video conversion device according to the present invention along with the video conversion devices  20 . 
         [0081]    When a director of photography or the like performs color adjustment while checking the reproduced colors of the captured video displayed on the monitors  22  after the shooting, the controller  26  serves to receive color adjustment parameters to be input for the color adjustment and to display the color-adjusted video and/or the analysis result thereof, particularly, the color analysis result of the video on the display unit thereof. The controller  26  also serves to display a warning or to issue an alert when pixels of the color-adjusted video or the analysis result of at least a selected part of the color-adjusted video departs from the color space of the digital projector which is a final output device, or the like. 
         [0082]    The controller  26  is not particularly limited as long as it can communicate with the video conversion devices  20  and the edited and processed video storage device  24  in a wired or wireless manner and can control the video conversion devices  20  and the edited and processed video storage device  24 . For example, a personal computer (PC) connected thereto via a communication network such as Ethernet (registered trademark), for example, a notebook PC, a desktop PC, and a tablet PC such as an iPad (product name) can be used. 
         [0083]    The detailed configuration of the controller  26  will be described later. 
         [0084]    As shown in  FIG. 9 , the color adjustment input assistant device  27  serves to access the controller  26  or the video conversion devices  20  so as to improve the operability of the color adjustment operation performed by the controller  26 . The color adjustment input assistant device  27  of which the appearance is shown in  FIG. 9  includes a user interface  29  such as a track ball  29   a  and a dial  29   b  and implements color adjustment by linking the color adjustment parameters of the controller  26  with the operation of the user interface  29  such as the track ball  29   a  or the dial  29   b.    
         [0085]    The captured video storage device  28  serves to store the camera video data itself acquired by capturing a video with the cameras  18 , that is, to store the camera video data as raw data without editing and processing the camera video data. The captured video storage device  28  includes a hard disk or a memory. 
         [0086]    The camera video data stored in the captured video storage device  28  is transmitted to the video production system (post production)  14  and is provided to editing and processing for preparing video source data in the video production system  14 . 
         [0087]    In the photography system  12  having the above-mentioned configuration, a director of photography or the like can perform editing and processing such as tone adjustment on the camera video data acquired by capturing a video with the cameras  18  by the use of the video conversion devices  20  and the controller  26  at the shooting location after the shooting and as a result of the editing and processing, can display on the monitors  22  a video or colors which are reproduced by the digital projector as the final output device of the motion picture system  10 . Accordingly, even when the director of photography or the like displays the camera video data acquired by capturing a video with the plural cameras  18  of different manufacturers or types on the plural monitors  22  of different manufacturers or types and performs the editing and processing such as tone adjustment while checking the video, it is possible to match colors between the plural cameras  18  and between the plural monitors  22  with high accuracy. 
         [0088]    The video production system  14  which is for the post production includes a video data acquiring device  30  that acquires camera video data, details of the editing and processing such as color adjustment performed at the shooting location, edited and processed data for output with a low resolution, and the like from the photography system  12 , an editing device  32  that performs editing and processing such as color adjustment on the camera video data on the basis of the details of the editing and processing such as tone adjustment and the edited and processed data for output with a low resolution which are acquired by the video data acquiring device  30  and that generates edited and processed video source data, and a recording device  34  that generates digital video data for output to a digital projector from the video source data generated by the editing device  32  and records the generated digital video data on a hard disk or the like or finally produces a positive film for screening with a film projector. 
         [0089]    The video data acquiring device  30  serves to acquire the camera video data from the captured video storage device  28  of the photography system  12 , to acquire the editing information file (EDL), in which details of the editing and processing such as the CDL or the 3DLUT including a time code are described, from the video conversion devices A 20   a  and B 20   b  of the photography system  12 , and to acquire the edited and processed video data for output with a low resolution from the edited and processed video storage device  24  of the photography system  12 . 
         [0090]    The editing device  32  performs editing and processing such as tone adjustment on the camera video data acquired by the video data acquiring device  30  on the basis of the editing information file (EDL), in which details of the editing and processing such as color adjustment, the CDL or the 3D LUT including a time code for instance, are described, and the edited and processed data for output with a low resolution which are acquired by the video data acquiring device  30 , and generates edited and processed video source data. The editing and processing performed by the editing device  32  include all the editing and processing necessary for motion picture production, such as synthesis, editing and cutting according to the CDL or the EDL, color adjustment (tone adjustment) and gray scale adjustment using the 3DLUT, and the like. 
         [0091]    In the photography system  12  using the video conversion devices  20  according to the present invention, even camera video data captured with plural cameras  18  is subjected to editing and processing by a director of photography or the like while checking a video at the shooting location in advance, and details of the editing and processing (the EDL such as the CDL and the 3DLUT) and the edited and processed video data with a low resolution are provided to the editing device  32  of the post production  14  shown in the drawing. Accordingly, it is not necessary for a director of photography, a colorist, or the like to perform the tone adjustment with trial and error while watching all the videos in the post production  14  and thus it is possible to further streamline the video production processes of the post production  14  and to achieve a decrease in cost and an improvement in quality of a video. 
         [0092]    The recording device  34  serves to generate digital video data for output to a digital projector from the video source data generated by the editing device  32  and to record the generated digital video data on a hard disk or the like. 
         [0093]    The recording device  34  may prepare an intermediate negative film by the use of a film recorder, as shown in  FIG. 10 , from the video source data generated by the editing device  32 , prepare a positive film for motion picture by means of optical printing, and finally produce a positive film for screening with the film projector. 
         [0094]    The screening system  16  in a theater includes a projector  36  that screens a motion picture as a digital video on the basis of the digital video data for output prepared by the video production system  14  or screens a motion picture using the positive film for screening produced by the video production system  14 . 
         [0095]    As the projector  36 , a digital projector that projects a digital video on the basis of the digital video data for output distributed from the video production system  14  or a film projector that projects a video of the positive film for screening produced by the video production system  14  may be used. 
         [0096]    Next, the video conversion device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to  FIG. 2 . 
         [0097]      FIG. 2  is a schematic conceptual diagram illustrating an example of a configuration and a process flow of the video conversion device shown in  FIG. 1 . 
         [0098]    The video conversion device  20  shown in the drawing is a video conversion device in which the color conversion architecture of the AMPAS-IIF shown in  FIG. 10  which is basically used in the post production  14  of the motion picture system  10  is made applicable to the photography system  12 . The video conversion device  20  includes an input unit  38 , an input color conversion section (input transform section)  40 , a color adjustment section (look modification section)  42 , an output color conversion section (target rendering section)  44 , a shooting-side monitor color conversion section (onset monitor transform section)  46 , a controller color conversion section (controller transform section)  48 , a data output unit  50 , and a monitor output unit  52 . 
         [0099]    The input unit  38  is a section to which camera video data captured with the cameras  18  is input and which makes camera video data  54  received in the input color conversion section  40 . 
         [0100]    The input color conversion section  40  serves to convert the camera video data  54  into an input color space ACES  60  (video data therein), similarly to the color conversion architecture of the AMPAS-IIF shown in  FIG. 10 , and includes an IDT transform section  56  for input device transform and a camera calibration section  58 . 
         [0101]    Similarly to the IDT  106  shown in  FIG. 10 , the IDT transform section  56  is configured to transform the camera video data  54  captured with the cameras  18  (the color space of the cameras  18 ) to the ACES  60  (video data thereof) as a common input color space. 
         [0102]    The camera calibration section  58  is configured to correct the video data transformed to the input color space ACES  60  (video data thereof) by the IDT transform section  56  depending on the individual differences of the cameras. 
         [0103]    Accordingly, the camera video data captured with plural cameras  18  of different manufacturers or types is transformed to the input color space ACES  60  (video data thereof) defined as a scene-referred color space, so that the camera video data is transformed to video data with the same colors for one and the same scene. 
         [0104]    In this way, even the camera video data captured with plural cameras  18  of different manufacturers or types can be transformed to video data of the input color space ACES  60  matched with each other with high accuracy. 
         [0105]    The color adjustment section  42  is a section which most characterizes the present invention, is called a look modification section, and is a section which allows color adjustment at the shooting location and adjustment of colors of a video, for example, colors of a scene, on the basis of the color adjustment parameters from the above-described controller  26  in the input color space ACES  60 . That is, the color adjustment section  42  enables a director of photography or the like to adjust colors of a video while checking the video at the shooting location. The color adjustment section  42  includes an LMT (Look Modification Transform) transform section  62  that performs color adjustment based on the color adjustment parameters from the controller  26  in the input color space ACES  60 . 
         [0106]    Here, the LMT transform section  62  serves to perform color adjustment based on an instruction from a user such as a location director for direction suitable for video contents or the atmosphere of stories or scenes. Since the LMT transform section  62  transforms video data to color-adjusted video data in the input color space ACES  60 , the color space of the color-adjusted video data is also ACES and is expressed herein as an input color space ACES  60   a.    
         [0107]    Details of the color adjustment performed by the color adjustment section  42  will be described later. 
         [0108]    The output color conversion section  44  is called a target rendering section, performs rendering (editing and processing) on an ACES video based on the output target of video contents as designated in advance (depending on whether the video is adapted for a theater or for a TV broadcast, for digital screening or for film projection, what type of film is used, and so forth), and transforms the ACES video subjected to the rendering to an output standard color space of a target output device that does not depend on the output device. That is, the output color conversion section  44  serves to color-convert the input color space ACES  60   a  ( 60 ) into the output standard color space (DIC: Device Independent Color)  66  not depending on the output device and includes a rendering transform section  64  for rendering to output colors that edits and processes the video data with the input color space ACES  60   a  ( 60 ) into output colors to acquire the edited and processed video data in the output standard color space DIC  66 . 
         [0109]    Here, the output standard color space DIC  66  is not particularly limited as long as it is a standard color space not depending on the output device, and thus the OCES  102  which is a common output color space of the color conversion architecture of the AMPAS-IIF shown in  FIG. 10  may be used. Therefore, in this case, the rendering transform section  64  may be the RRT transform section  104  shown in  FIG. 10 . 
         [0110]    In addition, for example, the rendering transform section  64  may be constructed by an RDT transform section, a transform section for film preview of a film for motion picture, or the like. 
         [0111]    Therefore, the output standard color space (DIC) may be a color space obtained by narrowing the dynamic range of an ideal output device without lowering display quality after performing the color space transform for a display device for checking, or may be a color space obtained by narrowing the dynamic range at a ratio of 10000:1 or more. 
         [0112]    The output standard color space (DIC) may be an output color space in which a standard output device is assumed or an output color space in which a preview of a projection film screened with the projector in the motion picture system is assumed. 
         [0113]    The shooting-side monitor color conversion section  46  is called onset monitor transform section, and serves to perform color space transform, gamma conversion, and calibration for each of the monitors  22  on preview monitor display MCV (Monitor Code Value) at the shooting location and to transmit a video as video data signals to the preview monitors  22  connected thereto. That is, the shooting-side monitor color conversion section  46  serves to convert the video data from the output standard color space (DIC)  66  not depending on the output device into a color space depending on the monitors  22  as actual output devices (DDC: Device Dependent Color) and to convert the video data in the output standard color space (DIC)  66  into monitor video data  72  for displaying colors reproduced by the digital projector as the final output device of the motion picture system  10  on the monitors  22 . The shooting-side monitor color conversion section  46  includes a monitor color space transform section  68  that transforms a color space and a γ value and a monitor calibration section  70  that performs conversion based on the individual differences of the monitors  22 . 
         [0114]    For display on the monitors  22 , the monitor color space transform section  68  serves to transform the video data in the output standard color space (DIC)  66  into the color space of the monitors  22  and to transform the video data so as to suit to the γ characteristics of the monitors  22 . 
         [0115]    The monitor calibration section  70  serves to correct the video data transformed into the color space of the monitors  22  by the monitor color space transform section  68  depending on the individual differences of the monitors  22 . 
         [0116]    Accordingly, even a video to be displayed on the plural monitors  22  of different manufacturers or types can be displayed in the same colors as the colors reproduced by the digital projector which is the final output device of the motion picture system  10 . 
         [0117]    As a result, even a video to be displayed on the plural monitors  22  of different manufacturers or types can be displayed as a video matched with high accuracy. 
         [0118]    The controller color conversion section  48  is called controller transform section and may perform calibration according to a CCV (Controller Code Value) of the display unit (display  84 : see  FIG. 3 ) of the controller  26  and output the resultant video for checking a thumbnail video in the controller  26 . That is, the controller color conversion section  48  serves to convert thumbnail video data in the output standard color space (DIC)  66  of the output color conversion section  44  into controller video data for displaying colors reproduced by the digital projector which is the final output device of the motion picture system  10  on the display unit ( 84 ) of the controller  26  and to display the controller video data as thumbnail images  76  (reference signs  86   d ,  88   g , and  90   d  in  FIGS. 4 ,  5 , and  6 ) to be displayed by the controller. The controller color conversion section  48  includes a controller calibration section  74  that performs a conversion depending on the individual difference of the controller  26 . 
         [0119]    The controller calibration section  74  converts the video data in the output standard color space (DIC)  66  of the output color conversion section  44  into video data in the color space of the display unit ( 84 ) of the controller  26  and corrects the video data depending on the individual difference of the controller  26 . 
         [0120]    Accordingly, it is possible to display the same colors as the colors reproduced by the digital projector which is the final output device of the motion picture system  10  on the display unit ( 84 ) of the controller  26 . 
         [0121]    The data output unit  50  serves to output signals subjected to only standard color space transform and gamma conversion (for example, rec  709  or sRGB) from the monitor color space transform section  68  of the shooting-side monitor color conversion section  46  to the post production  14  as data for video preview (Dailies) which is performed every day after the shooting. The data output unit  50  may not be provided. 
         [0122]    The monitor output unit  52  serves to output the monitor video data signal from the shooting-side monitor color conversion section  46  to the preview monitor  22 . 
         [0123]    The video conversion device according to the present invention basically has the above-mentioned configuration. 
         [0124]    The controller  26  constitutes the video conversion device of the present invention along with the video conversion device  20  as described above, and serves to control the video conversion device  20  and the edited and processed video storage device  24 . 
         [0125]      FIG. 3  is a block diagram schematically illustrating an example of the configuration of the controller shown in  FIG. 1 . 
         [0126]      FIGS. 4 ,  5 , and  7  show input screens for color adjustment parameters of the display unit of the controller shown in  FIG. 3 ,  FIG. 6  shows a display screen for displaying video analysis results of the display unit of the controller shown in  FIG. 3 , and  FIG. 8  shows a display screen for displaying an example of a previous color adjustment information list of the display unit of the controller shown in  FIG. 3 . 
         [0127]    The controller  26  includes the controller color conversion section  48  shown in  FIG. 2 , a video analysis section  78 , an input unit  80 , a control unit  82 , a display unit (display)  84 , and an alert unit  85 . 
         [0128]    As described above, the controller color conversion section  48  serves to color-convert video data in the output standard color space (DIC) acquired by the output color conversion section  44  so as to be reproduced as an edited and processed video having the colors of the digital projector which is the final output device of the motion picture system  10  on the display unit  84 . 
         [0129]    The video analysis section  78  serves to analyze the edited and processed video, which is color-adjusted by the color adjustment section  42  and reproduced on the display unit  84 , having the colors of the final output device. 
         [0130]    The input unit  80  serves to receive the color adjustment parameters or the like for color adjustment from the color adjustment section  42  and to change display on the display unit  84 . 
         [0131]    The control unit  82  serves to control the color adjustment in the color adjustment section  42  depending on the color adjustment parameters input from the input unit  80 . 
         [0132]    The display unit  84  is provided with a display screen for displaying the edited and processed video, which is reproduced on the display unit  84  and has the colors of the final output device, and/or the result of the video analysis performed by the video analysis section  78  and with an input screen for the color adjustment parameters or the like from the input unit  80 . 
         [0133]    On the display unit  84 , 
         [0134]    The edited and processed video to be reproduced is not limited to a video having the colors of the digital projector as the final output device of the motion picture system  10 , but may be an edited and processed video having the output standard color space (DIC). 
         [0135]    Preferably, the display unit  84  displays on the display screen the analysis result of a part selected by the input unit  80  in the edited and processed video color-adjusted by the color adjustment section  42  and displayed on the display screen. It is preferable that the display screen of the display unit is provided with an area in which a video is displayed and an area in which the analysis result of the part selected by the input unit  80  and/or the analysis result of the video in the video analysis section  78  are displayed. 
         [0136]    The display unit  84  may display a warning on the display screen when pixels of the video displayed on the display screen depart from the color space of the digital projector as the final output device or when the analysis result of the part selected by the input unit  80  departs from the color space of the digital projector as the final output device. 
         [0137]    In addition, the controller  26  may be provided with an alert unit  85  that issues an audible warning when pixels of the color-adjusted video or the color adjustment result of the video, for example, the analysis result of at least the selected part, depart from the color space of the digital projector as the final output device, or the like. 
         [0138]    Specific examples of a display screen and an input screen of the display unit  84  of the controller  26  will be described below. 
         [0139]      FIG. 4  shows an example of an input screen as a user interface of an LMT displayed on the display unit  84  of the controller  26  which causes the LNT transform section  62  of the color adjustment section  42  of the video conversion device  20  to perform the color adjustment. The LMT input screen  86  is displayed on the display unit  84  of the controller  26  and a user can carry out the color adjustment using the input unit  80  of the controller  26 . The input screen  86  serves to adjust gray-scale characteristics of a video, allowing arbitrary adjustment of a tone curve of a video conversion characteristic graph (input: before adjustment, output: after adjustment)  86   a . Accordingly, it is possible to control the respective gray-scale slopes of overall brightness, highlight, halftone, and shadow. The color temperatures thereof can be adjusted by adjusting a brightness slide bar  86   b  on the right side of a screen. 
         [0140]      FIG. 5  is a control screen that can adjust hue, brightness, and chroma of primary colors (RGB) and secondary colors (CMY) in the highlight area, the halftone area, and the shadow area. In the input screen  88 , when markers  89   a  of six colors of RGBCMY in a central marker area  88   a  move, the chroma decreases toward the center of six colors, the chroma increases toward the distal end from the center, and the color is changed to a corresponding color-tinged hue with movement to be closer to another color. By causing a gray marker  89   b  at the center to move, color balance can be changed. 
         [0141]    By adjusting a left brightness slide bar  88   b  on the right side of the screen in a state where each marker  89   a  is selected, the brightness of a color can be adjusted. Similarly, the chroma of a color may be adjusted by adjusting a central slide bar  88   c  on the right side of the screen, and the color temperature of a color may be adjusted by adjusting a slide bar  88   d  on the rightmost side of the screen. 
         [0142]    Icons  88   e  represent that in which of a shadow area (Shadow), a middle area (Middle), a highlight area (Highlight), and an overall area (Over All), the color adjustment is performed. 
         [0143]    The area  86   d  shown in  FIG. 4  and the area  88   g  shown in  FIG. 5  are parts for changing an image to be displayed on a preview monitor screen  90  shown in  FIG. 6  and represent that switching of thumbnail display of a live video under shooting (Live), thumbnail display of a still image acquired and set at the time of pressing a selection button (Select) (Selected), and thumbnail display of a still image selected last (Last Selected) can be performed. When the display of a live video is selected, the color adjustment can be applied to a video under shooting and the color-adjusted video can be displayed in real time. 
         [0144]    Icons  86   c  shown in  FIG. 4  and icons  88   f  shown in  FIG. 5  allow selection of a color adjustment method in the display unit  84  of the controller  26 , and an input screen  86  for tone curve adjustment Tone Curve shown in  FIG. 4 , an input screen  88  for six color adjustment 6Colors shown in  FIG. 5 , and an input screen  92  for CDL adjustment CDL shown in  FIG. 7  can be selected. When an LMT log button (LMT Log) is pressed, previous adjustment values can be applied/edited to a current video by displaying a previously-prepared color adjustment information list and selecting/applying the list, as shown in  FIG. 8 . 
         [0145]      FIG. 7  shows an input screen  92  for CDL adjustment displayed on the display unit  84  of the controller  26 . Color adjustment parameters (offset, gamma, gain, and chroma) of the CDL can be changed by controlling turning of a track ball  94   a  or a dial  94   b.    
         [0146]      FIG. 8  shows a display screen  96  for displaying a previously-prepared color adjustment information list displayed on the display unit  84 . A list of plural thumbnails of color-adjusted still images, color adjustment dates, details of the color adjustment, and the LMT set values (the same as icons  86   c  and  88   f  shown in  FIGS. 4 and 5 ) is displayed on the display screen  96 . 
         [0147]    The operability can be improved by connecting the color adjustment input assistant device  27  shown in  FIG. 9  to the controller  26  or the video conversion device  20  and reflecting the manipulation of the color adjustment input assistant device  27  in a control GUI (such as a degree of turning of a track ball or a dial, graphs, and numerical values) in the color adjustment screen of the controller  26 . 
         [0148]      FIG. 6  shows an example of a display screen for analyzing a captured video of the display unit  84  of the controller  26 . 
         [0149]    By designating a pixel  91   a  of a video  90   a  on the display screen  90  by the use of a mouse or the like of the input unit  80 , the position of the pixel (portion)  91   b  on an image histogram  90   c  can be seen. A graph  90   b  at the center is a gamut (color reproduction gamut)-departure determination graph and it can be seen therefrom whether the pixel departs from the color reproduction range of the display. By checking the gamut-departure determination for each step of a video conversion flow, it is possible to check in which step a pixel departs from the gamut. A left area  90   d  of the display screen  90  is a part for changing an image to be displayed on the display screen  90 , similarly to the areas  86   d  and  88   g  shown in  FIGS. 4 and 5 , and allows switching of camera-acquired image Capture in addition to the live video display Live, the display Selected of a still image selected with a selection button, and the display Last Selected of a still image selected last. 
         [0150]    Accordingly, this display screen can be used to determine changing of shooting conditions in a step of camera input, and can be used to review and determine adjustment of the LMT transform section  62  in the output standard color space (DIC)  66 . In the monitor video data (MCV)  72  or the controller display video (CCV), the display screen cannot be displayed on the monitor  22  used for preview but it can be seen that the pixel is in the color reproduction gamut in a step of final output. 
         [0151]    Since the step of the video conversion flow and the color space displayed on the gamut-departure determination graph do not need to agree with an image displayed below, only the step in the graph can be switched in a state in which a video is maintained as a video suitable for evaluation and appreciation by normally displaying the MCV. 
         [0152]    By enabling selection of an area as well as a pixel of an image, in which range of a histogram or a gamut pixels of a selected area are distributed may be displayed. 
         [0153]    In this embodiment, the color adjustment value and/or the color adjustment reference table (such as the CDL and the 3DLUT) in the color adjustment section  42  and/or the low-resolution and/or compressed image of the edited and processed video which is color-adjusted by the color adjustment section  42  and has the colors of the final output device or the output standard color space are preferably output to the display unit  84  of the controller  26 , the data output unit  50  or the monitor output unit  52  (monitor  22 ) of the video conversion device  20 , or other output units. 
         [0154]    In addition, in this embodiment, it is preferable that the color adjustment value and/or the color adjustment reference table in the color adjustment section  42  and/or the edited and processed video, which is color-adjusted by the color adjustment section  42  and has the colors of the final output device or the output standard color space, or the low-resolution image thereof be output to the display unit  84  of the controller  26 , the data output unit  50  or the monitor output unit  52  (monitor  22 ) of the video conversion device  20 , or other output units in correspondence with the date and/or the time code at the time of shooting. That is, it is preferable that a color adjustment information file (such as a CDL or an EDL) in which the time codes or the like is made to correspond to the color adjustment value and/or the color adjustment reference table be output. 
         [0155]    In the present invention, the process flow in the video conversion device shown in  FIG. 2  can be performed as a video conversion method. 
         [0156]    That is, the video conversion method according to the present invention can be performed by acquiring a camera video data signal captured with a camera, converting the camera video data signal into a scene-referred color space captured with the camera to acquire video data of a first image in the scene-referred color space, performing color adjustment on the video data of the first image to acquire the color-adjusted video data of the first image, converting the color-adjusted video data of the first image into a standard color space for video output to acquire video data of a second image in the standard color space for output, and converting the video data of the second image into a color space of a display device for checking to acquire video data of a third image in the color space of the display device for checking so as to check colors obtained in a final output device when the video data of the second image is converted into a color space of the final output device, from which a video is finally output, with a different display device in advance. 
         [0157]    The above-mentioned video conversion method can be performed by a computer by executing a video conversion program. 
         [0158]    For example, the video conversion program according to the present invention includes procedures causing a computer, specifically, a CPU thereof, to perform the respective steps of the video conversion method. The program including the procedures may be constructed as a single program module or plural program modules. 
         [0159]    The video conversion program including the procedures performed by a computer may be stored in a memory (storage device) of a computer or a server, may be stored in a recording medium, or may be read and executed from a memory or a recording medium by the computer (CPU) or another computer at the time of execution. Therefore, the present invention may be embodied as a computer-readable memory or recording medium having recorded thereon the video conversion program causing a computer to perform the video conversion method. 
         [0160]    While the video conversion device according to the present invention, the photography system for a motion picture system employing the video conversion device, the video conversion method, and the recording medium having recorded thereon the video conversion program, have been described in detail, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments and may be improved or modified in various forms without departing from the gist of the present invention.
