One of the main advantages of using the iPad on set is its ability to provide real-time image quality control. The director of photography (DOP), often working far from the technical team, can use the iPad to view and analyze the shots as they are filmed, allowing for on-the-fly modifications if necessary. This results in significant advantages both in terms of the quality of the footage and to avoid crew downtime. So, we can say that the iPad: coordinates the workflow, speeds up changes on live color correction, connects the technical part and the creative team on set. Our DITs recommend using the iPad as a second monitor for clean feed (to have a clean signal) and compare it with the calibrated monitor. This is because, most of the time, the product is not displayed directly on the grading monitor, risking displaying the footage incorrectly. To choose the Grading Monitor suitable for your project, read the article Monitor Grading.
