78Operation using a Tablet Device
  Appendix
Camera and Tablet Device Connections
There are two modes supported for connecting devices.
Infrastructure mode
Uses a Wi-Fi connection between the camera and table 
device via a wireless LAN access point. 
In this mode, multiple devices can communicate with the 
camera wirelessly via the access point. Use this mode if 
you plan to connect with and control a camera from more 
than one tablet device.
Ad-hoc mode Uses a direct Wi-Fi connection between the camera and 
table device. 
In this mode, an access point is not required, and only a 
single device can communicate with the camera 
wirelessly. Use this mode if an access point cannot be set 
up due to difficulty guaranteeing the power supply or 
other reasons. 
For details about the connection method, refer to the help 
for the tablet device.
 Connection using IEEE802.11n is not supported in ad- hoc mode. Data encryption method uses WEP only.  Some tablet devices are not equipped with the necessary 
hardware for ad-hoc mode. For details, refer to the 
operating instructions for your tablet device. 
 While multiple tablet devices can connect to the camera  in infrastructure mode, only the device that is “Active” 
may modify the camera settings. Other connected 
devices may only monitor the settings. 
 If the camera is connected using a network cable and the  IP address settings on the  page and the 
 page in the Network menu are the same, 
then Wi-Fi is disabled. To use LAN and Wi-Fi 
simultaneously, set different values for the IP address 
settings on the  page and the  page. If the camera is not connected using a 
network cable, then Wi-Fi is enabled, even if the same IP 
address is set on both pages.
 If connection is difficult or unstable when using WEP as  the data encryption method, use another encryption 
method or another device.

79Color Space According to the COLOR SPACE Settings
  Appendix
Color Space According to 
the COLOR SPACE 
Settings
The color space of the camera main signal, recorded by the 
SR-R4 in RAW mode when connected, is S-GAMUT 
mode.
Colorimetry
1. Virtual chromaticity points at S-GAMUT
The virtual color space at S-GAMUT is shown in the above 
chart. The virtual chromaticity points are as follows:
When converting the color space of a video source shot 
with this camera in S-GAMUT mode, use these virtual 
chromaticity points.
These chromaticity points are “virtual” because they do 
not represent the actual, accurate color space but are the 
calculated values for calculation of color space conversion. 
These virtual chromaticity points have been introduced 
because the actual color space cannot be represented as a 
triangle in this colorimetry.
The following equation provides a simple conversion from 
the color space for S-GAMUT to that for conventional 
cameras (HDC-F950, HDW-F900R, etc.):
(Rw, Gw, Bw): RGB values for the original color space for S-GAMUT
(R, G, B): Values after being converted to the color space for conventional cameras
Use the following equations to convert from S-GAMUT to 
another color gamut.
Converting to ITU-R.BT709/sRGB
(Rw, Gw, Bw): RGB values for the original color space for S-GAMUT
(R, G, B): RGB values after conversion
Converting to ACES-GAMUT (Academy Color 
Encoding Specification)
 Daylight: 5500K
 Tungsten: 3200K or 4300K
(Rw, Gw, Bw): RGB values for the original color space for S-GAMUT
(R, G, B): RGB values after conversion
Use the following equation to express the S-GAMUT as an 
XYZ color space.
(Rw, Gw, Bw): RGB values for the original color space for S-GAMUT
(X, Y, Z): Values after conversion to XYZ color space
2. Color space for film
The color space for film shown in the above chart 
represents measurements from VISION Premier Film EK 
2393.
