Achieve Perfect Color Accuracy from Capture to Edit with the Datacolor Photo/Video Calibration Kit

Stop guessing and start knowing. In the world of digital photography and videography, color consistency is the foundation of professional work. The Datacolor Photo/Video Calibration Kit is a comprehensive suite of tools engineered to provide you with complete color control across your entire workflow. This kit provides the precision instruments, acting like a set of digital calipers for light and color, to ensure what you capture with your camera is what you see on your screen and in your final output. Eliminate frustrating color shifts, reduce editing time, and deliver results with confidence, knowing your colors are accurate and consistent every single time.

Key Benefits

* Unmatched Consistency: Achieve a standardized and accurate color workflow from your camera to your monitor and final print or digital export, perfect for multi-camera shoots and team projects.
* Save Valuable Editing Time: By starting with accurate color data from your camera and viewing it on a calibrated screen, you drastically reduce the time spent on corrective color adjustments in post-production.
* Professional & Reliable Results: Deliver work that meets professional standards, with predictable and repeatable color that looks the same across different calibrated devices.

Main Features

This all-in-one kit provides the essential tools for a complete and accurate color-managed workflow.

* Precision Monitor Calibration: At the core of the kit is an advanced monitor calibrator featuring a groundbreaking lens-based color engine. This technology provides a higher level of color accuracy and consistency for all of your monitors, including laptops and desktops. It fully supports video calibration standards such as Rec. 709 and Rec. 2020, making it indispensable for videographers and colorists who need to grade footage with absolute precision. The integrated ambient light sensor measures your room light, allowing you to determine the optimal monitor brightness.

* Flawless In-Camera Settings: Start your workflow with perfect data using the portable white balance and exposure reference tool. This spectrally neutral, three-dimensional device allows you to set a custom white balance in-camera, ensuring natural colors from the moment of capture. It also provides a true black trap and a chrome ball to define your absolute black point and specular highlights, giving you a full tonal range and preventing crushed blacks or blown-out highlights in your RAW files.

* Custom Camera Profiling: Go beyond generic camera settings by creating custom color profiles with the included color reference chart. This durable and portable chart features 48 spectrally engineered color patches. By photographing the chart and using the accompanying software, you can generate a highly accurate HSL (Hue, Saturation, Luminance) preset for use in Adobe Lightroom Classic, Adobe Camera Raw, and Hasselblad Phocus, ensuring consistent and precise color rendering from your specific camera and lens combination.
