In an open letter published on their website, Susan Corley of DSC Laboratories has announced that the company will soon cease its operations. You have until October to order one of their award-winning camera test charts, and these will continue to be produced and shipped until spring 2025. Like with most success stories, DSC Labs’ adventure started in a basement back in 1962. Founded by David and Susan Corley, over the course of the following 6 decades, the company grew to become a leading manufacturer of high-quality test charts for the film and television industry. These include precise tools for assessing the performance of a camera setup in terms of dynamic range, resolution, color, and much more. If you’re an avid CineD reader, then you can imagine how sad of a day this is. Indeed, DSC Labs’ Xyla 21 High Dynamic Range test chart stands at the foundation of our rigorous Lab Test procedure – a workflow that we developed with a scientific approach to offer our beloved readers a benchmark of their camera’s performance.

So you have one last chance to stock up. Before you go on reading, we would like to take some time to thank David and Susan for their painstaking effort...
