SpyderPro Monitor Calibrator
Color Confidence That’s Fast & Easy
SpyderPro lets you easily calibrate your monitor in only about 90 seconds, so you can be confident that you’re beginning your editing from an accurate color starting point, saving you valuable time and effort in your editing workflow. The result? True-to-life color and fine detail capture.
Professional Results for Every Experience Level
Intuitive software and one-click calibration ensures ease of use and professional results for even the most novice user. Additionally, unlimited calibration settings like fully customizable gamma curves, white point, and brightness settings, allow for advanced color control for a truly customized workflow that experienced professionals will appreciate.
Calibration for Digital Workflows
SpyderPro calibrates a wide range of laptop/desktop displays, including technologies like OLED, mini-LED, and Apple Liquid Retina XDR so users can optimize the color richness, deep shadows, nuanced highlights and enhanced details these monitors make available. Additionally, it calibrates Wide and Standard LED gamuts, while affording workflow adaptability, allowing you to work in even the brightest of conditions with its high brightness feature. Working on-the-go with multiple portable displays attached to a single computer? The SpyderTune feature lets you adjust white point, gamma, and brightness for visual fine tuning for the best consistency across multiple displays.
Color "Surprises" Are a Thing of the Past!
With Datacolor’s exclusive Device PreviewTM Beta feature, you’ll be able to see a simulated version of what your images can look like on the latest phones and tablets without having to use the actual devices for previewing. Device PreviewTM Beta also allows you to soft proof your images in print so you can view how they will appear on paper.
Patchwork Color: OK for Quilts, Not Digital Viewing
Multiple cameras and monitors, shifts in lighting, days of shooting, splicing footage – if your monitor’s color isn’t consistent, neither is your visual story. SpyderPro’s StudioMatch feature allows for side-by-side calibration for multiple computers/displays, ensuring consistent, accurate color reproduction across multiple connected monitors or computers.
Video & Cinema Color You Can Count On
SpyderPro’s Rec. 709 and Rec. 2020 targets ensure colors will be accurate so you can be confident that colors and images will translate properly across the production workflow, from editing and post-production to transmission, streaming, and final display. Rec. 709 is the most commonly used standard today, while Rec. 2020’s wider color gamut will let you deliver content that is more lifelike for a truly immersive experience for your audience.
Get the "Big Picture" of Your Picture
The Advanced Display Mapping & Analysis feature of SpyderPro gives you detailed information about your monitor. You can check color/color uniformity, brightness, contrast, gamut, tone response, display accuracy and white point of your monitors to track color accuracy and consistency.
Details Come Out from the Shadows
SpyderPro’s Gamma Curve Adjustment feature lets you refine tone distribution (how seamlessly black transitions to white). Gradations are enhanced so shadow and light details remain crisp and clear. You can also balance your display’s brightness settings based on your location and needs, for precise color accuracy to capture every detail.
Customizable Calibration for Your Needs
SpyderPro offers unlimited calibration settings for fully customized calibration for all workflows. Fine tune the gamma, white point and brightness settings for any need. There’s also a preset list of the most common calibration targets, including those for video standards and StudioMatch. Willing to spend a bit more time for a more sophisticated calibration? Choose Better in Grey Balance in the calibration settings for smoother gradients. Pressed for time? Opt for the Faster setting.
Adapt to Shifts in Light
Automatic Room Light Switching measures and tracks the lighting around you to make sure your current display profile is the one best suited for your environment. Not every task requires controlled lighting so allowing SpyderPro to adapt the calibration to your room lighting will ensure your monitor profile is optimal. During a Room Light Calibration, multiple profiles are created for different room lighting levels.
Use CheckCal for Confidence
CheckCal is Datacolor’s answer to the question, "Is my calibration still valid?" CheckCal performs a short test on your monitor to verify your calibration is up to date.
Calibration as Bright as Your Environment
Many modern monitors have brightness levels for use outdoors or in other highly illuminated settings. SpyderPro’s High Brightness calibration setting balances these monitors when working in a bright environment for an accurate reference.
Keep Connected
Native USB-C connection comes standard with the SpyderPro, along with an additional USB-A adaptor for added convenience when needed.
