Datacolor Spyder Checkr Video

The Datacolor Spyder Checkr Video is a colour reference chart which helps you achieve accurate colour and exposure when using video vectorscopes, waveform monitors and editing software.

 

Datacolor Spyder Checkr Video Summary

Spyder Checkr Video is a color reference chart for use with video vectorscopes, waveform monitors and professional video editing software such as DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere and Final Cut Pro, to ensure accurate video color and exposure. Spyder Checkr Video allows users to color calibrate one or more camera and lens combinations to help get color correct at the start of shooting, in addition to streamlining the post-production workflow.

The Spyder Checkr Video system includes a unique, patent-pending Color Pattern Card that provides more color information at a glance. When viewed with a vectorscope, the card generates a pattern of hues at two saturation levels, allowing you to see how all colors are being captured, not just primary and secondary colors. The easy-to-understand circular pattern that’s generated provides an unprecedented level of color information, instantly.

Additionally, the cards’ glossy surface delivers a wider color gamut and helps to identify any light flares. Eliminating these flares ensures a clean capture of the Spyder Checkr Video, providing an accurate target for your color correction and profiling.

The unique ergonomic design of the Spyder Checkr Video case has been specifically developed to lessen fatigue and improve handling when shooting. It fits securely in your hand while preventing your fingers from casting shadows onto the cards, minimizing application errors.

Photo/Video hybrid users will appreciate the flexibility Spyder Checkr Video provides, allowing you to add/swap Spyder Checkr Photo cards to your case for a truly customized photo/video color reference tool.
