ISF Chief Joel Silver Shares Proper Calibration Tips
"When you watch 35mm film, are you watching moving pictures?"
After a slight pause and a smile, the man dressed in black answers his own question. "No," he says, as he stands next to three large Stewart Filmscreen products.
That's how Joel Silver, founder and president of the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF), starts the second day of his two-day training seminar at the Spring Electronic House Expo (EHX).

It's typical Silver style to mix some light-hearted fun with his curriculum of technology-based standards and practices to a room full of custom-installation professionals eager to learn how to properly install and calibrate state-of-the-art video systems.
Silver's mix of one-liners and tech-heavy topics helps his students and followers keep up with the intensive two-day program without ending up cross-eyed from trying to absorb everything thrown at them.
Over the course of the two-day seminar, which was featured as part of the week-long EHX education schedule, Silver covers everything from the basic principles developed for television when it was first introduced to techniques for calibrating white, black and color levels on a modern video system, and how to bill for and explain the services provided.
