In
today's digital darkroom, even brand-new monitors
need calibration on a regular basis. Monitor
calibration controls your display's color so that it
is accurate and consistent from day-to-day and
image-to-image. The acclaimed SpyderPRO with OptiCAL
combines the award-winning Spyder--an all-digital,
seven-filter colorimeter that works with both CRT
and LCD monitors with the industry's premiere
monitor calibration software--OptiCAL. The SpyderPRO
with OptiCAL calibrates your monitor to a universal
standard for color and automatically creates a
correct monitor profile.
The end result--a
monitor that displays accurate color and lets you
trust what you see on your screen.
The SpyderPRO with
OptiCAL delivers precise, repeatable results in a
few easy steps. First, a unique pre-calibration
function allows you to balance your monitor's RGB
guns giving you the widest color gamut your monitor
is capable of producing. Next you'll select a target
for gamma and color temperature, attach the Spyder
to the face of your monitor, and click the
"calibrate" button. OptiCAL does the rest! Now
you'll know you're getting the most from your
monitor.
The SpyderPRO with
OptiCAL also includes a portfolio of advanced tools
for adjusting calibration parameters for a single
monitor or calibrating multiple monitors to a common
standard. These tools include a wide choice of gamma
and color temperature targets, curve manipulation,
precision and expert control modes, information
windows, and monitor focus, geometry, and uniformity
checking utilities.
A calibrated
monitor is the cornerstone of the digital darkroom.
The SpyderPRO with OptiCAL addresses this need by
providing professionals and advanced amateurs with
accurate, reliable, and consistent color from
day-to-day, image-to-image, and monitor-to-monitor.
With today's soft proofing techniques, the SpyderPRO
with OptiCAL lets you trust what you see on your
screen.
Features:
-
Patent-protected, 7-filter emissive colorimeter.
The Spyder divides emitted light into more
wavelength bands than conventional colorimeters
that only offer three filters enabling it to
more effectively describe the industry-standard
tristimulus matching curves--the end result--a
more accurate calibration.
- Optimized for
both CRT and LCD usage. The Spyder's novel
honey-comb baffle for LCD calibration provides
the Spyder with two light paths--one optimized
for CRT's and the other for LCD's. Therefore
calibration accuracy is maintained for both LCD
and CRT usage unlike conventional colorimeters
that optimize for one monitor type at the
expense of the other.
- Wide choice of
gamma and color temperature targets. OptiCAL
does not lock you into arbitrary gamma or color
temperature settings, enabling you to adjust
your monitor output to your personal creative
preference or a third-party standard.
-
Pre-calibration function. The OptiCAL
pre-calibration function balances the RGB guns
of your monitor allowing you to achieve the
widest color gamut your monitor can produce
resulting in better flesh tones, more even
grays, and more open shadows.
- Curves tool.
OptiCAL allows you to adjust individual RGB
response curves giving you the ability to adjust
shadow detail, flesh tones, and other
preferences to your own creative vision or third
party standards.
- Free technical
support and software upgrades. ColorVision wants
to make it easy for you to take the leap into
digital color control. Free technical support
and free software upgrades make it easier for
you to take the plunge.
