X-Rite's Revolutionary New Colorimeter - Page 4

The meter and software don't adjust - you do with the remote. The exception would be if the PJ had IFFccc and there was sofware to interface with it. The meter and software merely give you information.

Maybe I don't understand what you are asking??? Your question about updating is throwing me off....

If I have a i1 pro then I don't need to order i1 dispay 3 PRO since i1 d3 meter(not PRO) can be profiled by i1pro and will have no problem with LED TVs, etc.? Or i1d3 PRO is still preferred?

Thnx in advance,
freebits

There should be no difference between the Pro and non-Pro versions in this regard.

I asked the local X-Rite representative and he didn't directly answer my question about the rebate (I guess he didn't even hear about it, that's why he didn't give a direct NO answer either) but he gave me a price which I think is higher than I would end up with ordering it from the US and it will be available after ~1 month. I didn't find any suitable US sellers yet but I don't need to rush, I wouldn't be able to use it the way I want until ArgyllCMS will support it (unknown if ever but I guess it won't take too long).

Does HCFR support these devices yet? If not, do they usually release updates in a timely manner?

The last update to HCFR was almost 2.5 years ago (Jan 17, 2009). I may be mistaken but I thought the developers moved on to other things.

Ok ive have just placed my order for the Chromapure 2.2 standard software with upgraded Colormunki display 3 as found on chromapure.co.uk
I`m hoping i`ve made the right choice, its my understanding that the colormunki is exactly the same hardware as the i1 display 3, and the chromapure software will access 100% of the features as found in the i1display 3.

The normal x-rite software for the i1 display 3 has ticks next to the following options below but the regular software for colormunki doesnt have ticks next to them, so i really need to know:

Can chromapure software be able to measure
with upgraded colormunkie White Point, & white luminances?

Can chrompure enable colormunkie display 3 for tone response (1.8, 2.2, 3.0, sRGB)

Looking forward to calibrating my 3 LCD/ 3LED projector

These are limitations for X-Rite iProfiler Software only. It's some menu based options before the auto-calibration of PC Monitors with X-Rite Software.

I suppose what i`m really asking is:

Will colormunki display 3 with chromapure software give exactly the same performance of the i1 display 3 using chrompure software.

is there any options that colormunki wont be able to access which are available to the i1 display 3?
Would i have been better off buying the i1 display 3 with chromapure rather than the colormunki display 3 with chromapure.

Thxs Tom, thats great news)

Thanks for the link, I think I will order it from here.

I saw this advertisements of the Spyder colorimeters:


Two questions:

- Do you offer sensor-unique correction matrices for the ColorMunki display as well?

As much as I understand, this product has it's own factory measured unique (reliable quality) spectral response curves in it's firmware. So, may be the unique matrices are not necessary anymore and it will be enough to have generic corrections for the individual display models. (For example every CMD user will be able to use a "Panasonic G30 spectral measurements" file because the software will be able to compare this with the curves from the firmware (and we can assume that every G30 has the same phosphor gamut with negligible variances only).

- If there are corrections (either generic display model or sensor-unique) then can I access them in simple, human readable text format to use them outside of ChromaPure? (Assume that I bought the sensor from you...)

(I don't have any ChromaPure licenses because I simply don't need any software like that. Don't take it wrong, but I probably still prefer the open-source command line tools even if ChromaPure would be entirely free. I just like ArgyllCMS better than anything else...)



Is it you or me who misunderstand that information? I think it is actually a bad news for us. (You have to pay more to access the faster measurement mode with any software, X-Rite or third-party)

Ok i`m a bit noobish ive ordered the colormunki thru chromapure.co.uk+ chromapure 2.2 standard

Can you clear up an issue do do with HTPC.

I dont own a duo or a lumagen etc, I just got a HTPC which i plug my projector into the HDMI port.

Is chromapure just for generating reports? or does it give me access to change my color levels, gamma, secondary primaries etc

My projectors functions are basic, and need color adjustments done thru PC software.

This otherguy says

Is chromapure suitable for HTPC? i was under the impression it was.. yikes, otherwise do i need additional software or a product to calibrate my HTPC projector? do i need to save up for a duo or lumagen?

ChromaPure is a nice GUI which helps you easily adjust your hardware OSD settings (like white point, gamma, gamut and other possible HDTV calibration controls).
The bundle software helps you to adjust a limited number of basic hardware OSD settings (luminance and white point at 100%) and creates a LUT for your VGA card (to precisely adjust the overall white balance and TRC) and also an ICM profile to use it with CMS softwares (used togother with the embedded iCM profile of the content or similar things like that...) for 3D color corrections.

Can a ColorMunki Display be upgraded into the PRO version for $125?

Thats what i have just ordered today

1 x ChromaPure Version 2.2 Standard & ColorMunki Display Pro (bought from chromapure UK as i am from england etc)


Also thxs janos for your explaination

don't see that option in the US

Trade-In PROGRAM Details
http://www.superdigitalcity.com/v/vs...e_In_07_11.pdf

Hmm you know i ordered my colormunki pro today..
seems theres an issue..

"Dear all,

There may be an issue with the support with the Colormunki within ChromaPure. We are trying to establish the problem with Xrite in the UK, USA and EU. This is not something that had previously envisaged. We had previously been informed that they were the same meter, and it is only when the production samples appeared that the issue arose. I am going to speaking to Xrite again in the morning, and will keep you informed, and dependant on the outcome, any of you with outstanding orders will be offered the chance to upgrade to the i1Display Pro (for the price difference), or receive a full refund.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Kind regards

Ricky

EDITED

Oh nice. "It was too lovely to be true..." There is always a catch.

I think it will also make it more difficult (if not impossible in reasonable time with the available resources) to get it work with ArgyllCMS.

Why the hell they did it...? Why can't I use at least the PRO version with any third-party softwares???

I edited my post when I noticed yours about the details (right before I sent that in...).

Tom,
Do you know if the OEM version of the D3 qualifies for the trade-in program?

Regards,
Steve

I`m still about confused about chromapure 2.2
theres a bunch of people telling me different things some say chromapure generates reports only, and it wouldnt be suitable for my projector as my projector controls have only; brightness, contrast, saturation and has no other whiteness, blacklevels to access

Others are saying chromapure does full colour managment, so i`m guessing you can alter settings within chromapure to get an optimal picture.

Is the LUT file generated though the x-rite softwares, then after i would have to use chromapure? or can i ditch the x-rite software and calibrate my projector using just chromapure

My projector has no advanced CMS controls to access and really need the color managment through PC to run my projector. I have an ATI 5750 with HDMI port and use my PC as a HTPC. Curently my projector is running a bit blue.

Ive tried powerstrip, but it suxs i was hoping chromapure with the i1 display 3 would get me lovely pc colours.

Sorry if it seems ive asked this question before, but i cant seem to get a definitive answer.


Help plz!

Thanks for the info Tom

I guess no home cinema is complete without a duo or lumagen radiance,. I`ll add those to my wish list!
