Features & Benefits
Third Generation Spyder Technology
The Spyder3 colorimeter is based on a state-of-the-art optical design,
with the industry's only 7 detector color engine and largest light
aperture, providing unrivaled performance. In conjunction with the
patented filter array and embedded ambient light sensor, Spyder3
provides industry-leading performance for the precision calibration of
LCD, CRT and notebook displays.
Elegant Form and Function
A unique fusion of design excellence and functionality, Spyder3 offers
a smaller footprint, embedded ambient light sensor and LED indicator.
Spyder3's desktop cradle can be used for storage and ambient light
monitoring. A beautiful addition to your desktop or studio, Spyder3
improves any color workflow.
Designed for Photographers
Spyder3 increases light sensitivity 400%. It also features the largest
screen sample area or aperture in the industry resulting in improved
accuracy on LCD screens and a faster calibration time. Two superior
attachment methods - large area suction cup or counterweight - can be
used interchangeably to suit the needs of any photographer. Building on
a foundation of 35 years of color science excellence, Datacolor
designed the Spyder3 for the way photographers work.
New Super-Fast ReCAL Option
ReCAL option reduces calibration time by more than half allowing you to
quickly and easily re-calibrate on a more frequent basis or before any
important shoot or post-production project.
Intelligent Ambient Light Control
Utilizing an
embedded high-precision sensor, Spyder3 automatically measures the
ambient light within a room for a new level of precision calibration.
Spyder3 provides you with options to change either your studio lighting
or display profile if the ambient light changes. Maintaining a history
log of lighting conditions, Spyder3 can intelligently discern true
lighting changes from random fluctuations caused by studio flashes or
shadows.
New Photo-Centric User Interface
New software interface is designed for the way photographers think and
work. Offers easy navigation for each step of the calibration process.
A progress bar indicates your location in the software and is augmented
by rich, contextual help. You don't have to be a color guru to get
professional results.
16 Calibration Target Choices
Sixteen user-selected
white point and gamma combinations gives you the flexibility to use the
photo industry standard, or options to best match your working
conditions.
New SpyderProof™ Function
Evaluate your calibration in before and after mode using four quadrants
of thematic photos targeting: Saturated Colors, Skin Tones, Gradients
and Black & White. Zoom in on any photo to analyze highlights,
shadow detail, color or tonal response. Softproof the images using your
own custom profiles. Designed for the way photographers work,
SpyderProof brings you a new level of control to help you achieve color
excellence.
New Display Assistant
Allows you to enter all of the model-specific information for each of
your displays and stores them, saving you time on all future
calibrations.
New Real-time calibration monitoring
Ensures that your display is color accurate through on-going background
checks of calibration and profile settings and lets you know if there
is a problem. This feature is especially useful if you have multiple
users.
New Cross-platform compatibility
The only calibration products that works efficiently on any computer,
Mac OS X or Microsoft® Windows® XP 32/64, Vista 32/64. Spyder3™
software runs on today's popular hardware and software platforms,
including Intel based Macintosh systems.
