X-Rite Announces New Display-Calibration Solutions
i1Display Studio and i1Display Pro Plus enable the calibration and profiling of displays, laptops and projectors.
X-Rite has released i1Display Studio and i1Display Pro Plus, hardware and software solutions for color calibration and profiling of displays, laptops and projectors. The new products build on the success of i1Display Pro, which X-Rite launched eight years ago.
i1Display Studio is for professional photographers and enthusiasts looking for professional color results in a format that doesn’t require deep knowledge of color science. It features one-click presets as well as advanced, easy-to-navigate, wizard-driven options for more control.
Key features include an ergonomically designed colorimeter with advanced optical technology and filter set; the ability to easily switch between display or projector profiling and ambient-light capture; Mobile Device Calibration with free ColorTrue mobile app; Intelligent Iterative Profiling to accurately measure the color capabilities of a display; custom control of white point, luminance, contrast ratio and gamma; the ability to color-match up to four separate displays; measurement and compensation of ambient lighting conditions, and FlareCorrect for display-surface flare measurement and compensation.
NTSC, PAL SECAM, Rec. 709, Rec. 2020 and DCI-P3 are supported.
i1Display Pro Plus is for filmmakers and photographers working with super-bright, HD and HDR displays. It includes everything found in i1Display Pro plus these features: the ability to accurately measure luminance levels up to 2000 nits; the ability to obtain correct neutral detail levels and higher accuracy in dark colors with new black-current subtraction technology (especially beneficial on OLED displays or any display that can achieve close-to-zero black point); a BT.1886 default gamma curve that is especially beneficial for 3-D LUT workflows and HDR-supported displays, and USB-C compatibility with the included USB-C to USB-A adapter.
“Professional and passionate photographers and filmmakers who are concerned about color perfection know that having properly calibrated and profiled displays is a critical component for a successful creative workflow,” says Liz Quinlisk, X-Rite’s global business unit manager for photo and video. “The new i1Display Studio and i1Display Pro Plus, coupled with the i1Display Pro, provide every user with optimally calibrated displays, projectors and mobile devices consistently and easily. This ensures a user’s digital files will be viewed and shared accurately to enable faithful reproduction every time.”
X-Rite has also introduced three i1 kits to complement a photographer’s and/or filmmaker’s workflow from capture to edit. Each kit includes an i1Display monitor-calibration solution, a ColorChecker Passport for use at capture and a handy lanyard.
i1Display Studio, i1Display Pro Plus and the new i1 Kits are available online in Europe and North America and through X-RIte’s global network of resellers.
