Spyder4Elite - Show the world your true colors
Spyder4Elite is a display color calibration solution designed for
photographers who need the
highest level of color control in the studio and flexibility in post-production.
The Spyder4Elite can
also provide color calibration for projectors.
WHY COLOR CALIBRATE YOUR DISPLAY?
-Displays render the same image differently: Calibration tunes
your display to a reference
standard and brings color consistency across desktop, laptop, multiple displays,
projectors, iPad
and iPhone.
-Displays change over time: Recalibration returns it to
reference state for brightness and color
-Prints often do not match display: Display calibration
provides a base for better print matching
-Wide gamut displays may be oversaturated: Without calibration
even wide-gamut displays
may be inaccurate.
-Highlight and shadow details may be inaccurate: Control of
brightness, white point and tone
response with calibration.
-Image colors are not true to life: After calibration, images
can be viewed and edited with
confidence
-Photographers, designers and imaging professionals can work confidently on a
properly colorcalibrated
screen and can assert greater control over the color fidelity of their digital
process.
-Images can be reliably assessed and adjusted on a properly calibrated display,
enabling true-tolife
reproduction of image files.
HOW DOES SPYDER4ELITE WORK?
-Spyder4Elite automates and simplifies display calibration. Install the
software, attach the color
sensor to the USB port and step through the wizard. The sensor measures a series
of colors on
your screen and creates a "profile" that brings your display to a reference
state. At the end, you
can compare how the images look before and after calibration.
-Spyder4Elite features a patented, full-spectrum 7-color sensor that can
accurately characterize a
variety of wide gamut and normal displays. Spyder4Elite software lets you use
the same sensor
to calibrate your monitor, laptop computer, iPad, iPhone and projector. No other
calibrator has
this capability. The fourth-generation sensor uses double-shielded filters for
longer life and better
performance. On average, accuracy and precision are improved by 26% and 19%
respectively.
SPYDER4ELITE FEATURES
Automated Color & Brightness Calibration
-Spyder4Elites simple, clear and automated process makes it straightforward to
calibrate your
displays to a reference condition. You can view and edit images with confidence
on a display
calibrated to show true-to-life colors and luminance adjusted for precise
shadow/highlight detail.
Full-spectrum color sensor
-Spyder4Elite's patented 7-color sensor improves upon colorimeters that use
3-channel RGB
sensors. Each Spyder4Elite unit is individually tuned in the factory to
accurately handle a variety
of wide-gamut and normal gamut displays with ease.
Single sensor calibrates all your displays
-Spyder4Elite works with your laptop, multiple monitors, front projector,
television (with paid
software upgrade on website), iPad and even iPhone. It works with LCD, LED,
OLED, CRT, DLP
and other display technologies. You can calibrate multiple displays connected to
your computer.
-Spyder4Elite is unique in its ability to calibrate all your display devices to
achieve greater
consistency.
Improved accuracy and stability
-The fourth-generation Spyder4Elite has double-shielded color filters for an
even closer match to
CIE color standards and improved long term stability. Average accuracy increased
by 26% and
consistency between Spyder units has improved 19%.
Fast Re-calibration Assistant
-The ReCAL feature makes it quick and easy to recalibrate your display to
compensate for
changes that occur over time.
Adapts display to surrounding light
-The lighting around you will affect image contrast and appearance. An
additional sensor on the
Spyder4Elite detects changes to surrounding light and adapts the display
luminance accordingly.
Spyder4Elite software options for greater control
For greater control over color management Spyder4Elite provides
additional features:
StudioMatch enables visual fine-tuning of studio displays to match the way you
see color.
Built-in presets for video standards such as Cineon, NTSC and PAL.
Color analysis of your display quality by plotting uniformity, color gamut,
and change over
time, tone response and allowing comparison with other displays.
Calibrate to professional workflow targets with L-Star tone response curve.
Unlimited choices for gamma, white point, white luminance and black luminance.
Iterative grey balance algorithm for the most accurate greys.
Front projector calibration for color accurate presentations.
