#I1 display pro vs displaycal update#
And when an i1 Display Pro or SpectraCAL C6 is no longer NIST-Compliant due to the aging of its filters-there’s no way to update the components to bring the device back into compliance. Note: NIST Certification isn’t necessary for most of us watching this Insight. It’s a convenient feature to help you remember to send the unit back for re-certification. This Certificate is loaded on each individual C6 and provides an expiration date.
On-Board NIST Certification – When you buy a C6 from SpectraCal, one thing they provide is a NIST Certificate of Performance (here’s a good explanation of what these NIST Certifications mean). According to SpectraCal – these optimizations also increase the speed of low-light readings, decreasing the length of a full calibration by up to 30%. Whereas I’ve NEVER gotten the i1 Display Pro to read zero black on an OLED in either CalMAN or LightSpace. As you’ll see in this Insight, I’m able to get the C6 to properly read an OLED at zero black. It improves and optimizes the i1 Display’s accuracy reading dark patches.
Optimized Low-Light Handling – SpectraCal adds additional software directly onto the C6 colorimeter. Specifically, the C6 has the following functions (which are not included with the i1 Display Pro): The SpectraCal C6 is a custom modified version of X-Rite’s i1 Display Pro OEMīoth meters are identical, except that SpectraCal licensed from X-Rite the ability to add custom code that improves aspects of the i1 Display’s functionality. We’re also looking at the SpectraCal branded version of that same colorimeter, the C6.
In this Insight, we’re learning the various settings and options you’ll enable when optimizing for CalMAN the affordable i1 Display Pro OEM.
