and Benefits |
- Patent-protected 7-filter emissive
colorimeter. The Spyder divides emitted light into more wavelength
bands than conventional colorimeters that only offer 3 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. Our money-back guarantee, free
technical support, and free software upgrades make it easier for you
to take the plunge.
