Datacolor introduced the Spyder Checkr Video, a cutting-edge color reference tool that works with video vectorscopes, waveform monitors and a variety of professional video editing software solutions to ensure accurate video color and exposure. Spyder Checkr Video offers the ability to quickly and precisely color calibrate one or more camera and lens combinations, ensuring color accuracy at the start of shooting, streamlining the post-production workflow for a seamless video editing experience. When viewed through a vectorscope, the patent pending Spyder Checkr Video Color Pattern Card creates a circular pattern of colors allowing users to see all of the colors being captured - not just primary and secondary hues - at a glance.

This precise, nuanced color information is intuitive and easy to understand for both video novices and professionals alike. The Color Pattern Card includes 12 color patches in a unique configuration with a center black, grey and white patch, plus six skin tone tiles. The portable system comes with 5 high-gloss target cards, a 22-step gradient grey-scale card, a solid, neutral grey card for white balance and a focus star card, along with a protective case.

The high gloss cards provide for more saturated color, wider color gamut and easier flare identification. The Spyder Checkr Video case is ergonomically designed to fit comfortably in the hand to reduce fatigue and handling errors while shooting, as well as prevent fingers from casting shadows onto the cards. The Spyder Checkr Video can be purchased for $129.99 through Datacolor, Amazon or authorized retailers.
