Third Generation Spyder
Technology
The Spyder3 colorimeter is based on a state-of-the-art
optical design, with the industry's only 7 detector color
engine and largest light aperture, providing unrivaled
performance. In conjunction with the patented filter array
and embedded ambient light sensor, Spyder3 provides
industry-leading performance for the precision calibration
of LCD, CRT and notebook displays.
Elegant Form and Function
A unique fusion of design excellence and functionality,
Spyder3 offers a smaller footprint, embedded ambient light
sensor and LED indicator. Spyder3's desktop cradle can be
used for storage and ambient light monitoring. A beautiful
addition to your desktop or studio, Spyder3 improves any
color workflow.
Designed for Photographers
Spyder3 increases light sensitivity 400%. It also features
the largest screen sample area or aperture in the industry
resulting in improved accuracy on LCD screens and a faster
calibration time. Two superior attachment methods - large
area suction cup or counterweight - can be used
interchangeably to suit the needs of any photographer.
Building on a foundation of 35 years of color science
excellence, Datacolor designed the Spyder3 for the way
photographers work.
New Super-Fast ReCAL
Option
ReCAL option reduces calibration time by more than half
allowing you to quickly and easily re-calibrate on a more
frequent basis or before any important shoot or
post-production project.
Intelligent Ambient Light
Control
Utilizing an embedded high-precision sensor, Spyder3
automatically measures the ambient light within a room for a
new level of precision calibration. Spyder3 provides you
with options to change either your studio lighting or
display profile if the ambient light changes. Maintaining a
history log of lighting conditions, Spyder3 can
intelligently discern true lighting changes from random
fluctuations caused by studio flashes or shadows.
New Photo-Centric User
Interface
New software interface is designed for the way photographers
think and work. Offers easy navigation for each step of the
calibration process. A progress bar indicates your location
in the software and is augmented by rich, contextual help.
You don't have to be a color guru to get professional
results.
16 Calibration Target
Choices
Sixteen user-selected white point and gamma combinations
gives you the flexibility to use the photo industry
standard, or options to best match your working conditions.
New SpyderProof™
Function
Evaluate your calibration in before and after mode using
four quadrants of thematic photos targeting: Saturated
Colors, Skin Tones, Gradients and Black & White. Zoom in

profiles. Designed for the way photographers work,
SpyderProof brings you a new level of control to help you
achieve color excellence.
Multiple Display

Allows you to enter all of the model-specific information
for each of your displays and stores them, saving you time
on all future calibrations.
New Real-time calibration
monitoring

background checks of calibration and profile settings and
lets you know if there is a problem. This feature is
especially useful if you have multiple users.
