Color-management solutions maker Datacolor launched SpyderHD today, positioned as the company's premiere color-calibration suite for advanced and professional photographers and videographers. SpyderHD is designed to color manage photo and video workflows, from scene, camera and editing, to final output.


The suite includes the new Spyder4ELITE HD integrated display calibration application, with calibration functions for computer displays, video reference displays, and TVs, all within a single application. SpyderHD also includes SpyderWEB, a universal mounting system that securely mounts the Spyder for calibration of most screens up to 70”.

In addition to display calibration offerings, SpyderHD includes two camera solutions: the SpyderCHECKR, a color reference and gray card system, and the portable SpyderCUBE, which provides white balance, exposure, black level and highlight references in any lighting condition. Combined, these tools enable photographers and videographers to capture consistent color day-to-day and camera-to-camera, enhancing their entire digital workflow.

SpyderHD is available immediately for $349.00.
