Single Sensor Calibrates All Your Displays
------------------------------------------
Whether you are using the latest in LED technology, an older CRT
monitor, a laptop, iPod, iPhone, or projector, der4Elite
Software allows you to calibrate all your devices with a single
sensor to achieve all-around consistency in color and brightness.
A simple upgrade kit, available online for an additional charge,
allows you to add calibration for your TV. You can also calibrate
multiple displays connected to your computer, a valuable function
for professional photographers and studios.
Simple Calibration Process
--------------------------
der4Elite's step-by-step calibration wizard helps you
calibrate your displays. After performing a few preliminary
steps, you can easily define the display type, model, and system
of calibration.
A configuration of 2.2 gamma, 6500K white point, and 120
brightness is recommended, but with unlimited options available,
you can easily adjust these settings to your preference.
A "ReCAL" feature allows you to quickly and easily recalibrate
your display to compensate for changes that occur over time.
Patented Full-Spectrum Color Sensor
-----------------------------------
The patented seven-color sensor makes der4Elite an
improvement upon colorimeters that use three-channel RGB sensors.
Each unit is individually tuned in the factory to accurately and
easily handle a variety of wide-gamut and normal-gamut displays.
Adapts Display to Surrounding Light
-----------------------------------
der4Elite features an additional sensor that detects light
changes in the surrounding environment and adapts the display
luminance to preserve image contrast. This means you can view and
edit images with confidence on a display calibrated to show
true-to-life colors.
Improved Accuracy and Stability
-------------------------------
The fourth-generation der4Elite has double-shielded color
filters to better match CIE color standards, and it has improved
long-term stability over previous generations.
The three-legged design sits flat on your display to ensure
precise readings and includes a wide aperture, honeycomb baffle,
and diffuser to remove angular sensitivity.
Overall, der4 offers an increase in average accuracy of 26
percent over the previous generation of der3.
Additional Features and Software Options
----------------------------------------
Additional features for even greater color management control
include: built-in presets for video standards, such as Cineon,
NTSC and PAL; customizable workflow settings; unlimited choices
for gamma, white point, and white-and-black luminance; gray
balance algorithm for the most accurate grays; and front
projector calibration for color-accurate presentations.
StudioMatch and derTune features allow for visual fine-tuning
of multiple displays in the studio.
This der colorimeter also features Advanced Monitor Quality
Analysis tools for professional users, offering uniformity
luminance and color graphing tools, as well as advanced
