Atomos Spyder Colour Calibration brings one touch advanced colour calibration to Samurai Blade.
Atomos, the creator of the award-winning camera mounted recorders Ninja-2 and Samurai and the pocket-sized Connect converters, will show a pre-release version of the new Atomos Spyder at IBC (Hall 9, D25). Developed in partnership with Datacolor, Atomos have released the world’s first field monitor and recorder colour calibration tool making available one click colour calibration anytime, anywhere while recording.
“We believe colour accuracy and calibration is the most important issue facing today’s professional productions. Being able to trust the colours on a monitor while setting up the shot with RGB, Luma Parade and Vectorscope tools means perfect results every time and professionals spending far less time colour correcting in post.” Jeromy Young, CEO and Founder of Atomos. “We’ve teamed up with Datacolor to develop a calibration solution that users can trust and saves editors substantial time in post.”
Developed in partnership with New Jersey based Datacolor the Atomos Spyder gives Samurai Blade one button colour calibration normally only found on high end monitors. With Spyder, the Samurai Blade gains the ability to accurately calibrate to the SMPTE Rec 709 colour space with a D65 white point with 100% gamut.
Atomos Spyder features:
The Atomos Spyder has initially been developed for the Samurai Blade with implementation on other Atomos recorders available soon.
The Samurai Blade includes the world leading 5” SuperAtom IPS, 1280 x 720 IPS 325PPI touchscreen. Like its Ninja-2 and Samurai predecessors, Samurai Blade allows the recording of pristine, 10-bit images straight from the camera sensor directly to inexpensive HDD or SSD drives, captured using the Apple ProRes or Avid DNxHD codec.
