Datacolor SpyderPro Software Upgrade

Datacolor

According to Datacolor, SpyderPro redefines what a calibration device can be. Not only can it provide color accuracy in 90 seconds (which is claimed to be 3x faster than other tools), but it also features tools that no other competing devices have.

Key features

  • 3D LUT capability: Lock in color consistency from camera to final cut with precision calibration and .cube file exports. Easily apply custom LUTs directly to your monitors for a seamless, standardized color management workflow across all your devices
  • Light Meter Integration: Sync real-world lighting conditions for flawless color accuracy in any environment. By connecting with Datacolor’s LightColor Meter (and others), SpyderPro automatically adjusts to your ambient light for consistent results 
  • Device Preview Plus: Preview exactly how your images and videos appear on different screens, from smartphones and tablets to printers and high-end monitors, with advanced side-by-side comparisons, pixel sampling and batch processing
  • Content Credentials (C2PA): Embed verifiable metadata that includes your name, edit history and provenance, helping creators protect their authorship and maintain credibility in an age of AI and misinformation
  • HDR calibration up to 12,000 nits: Push your creative limits with unmatched brightness support for OLED, QD-OLED and ultra-bright displays, ensuring every detail appears exactly as intended

SpyderPro supports laptops and desktops, including OLED, QD-OLED, mini-LED, and Apple LiquidRetina XDR. It also offers industry-leading calibration of ultra-bright displays up to 12,000 nits.

With Device Preview Plus, users can simulate how content will appear on phones, tablets, printers, etc., all from their calibrated screen. Users can compare converted images, sample pixels, batch convert, and leverage image processing tools, including advanced export functionality.

You can embed Content Credentials (C2PA), linking your name, edits, and provenance to your work. The Content Credentials feature allows you to attach secure metadata to your exported image, identifying its creator and confirming its authenticity through the Content Credentials (C2PA) standard.

SpyderPro includes up to 1,000 Content Credential signings per month, automatically resetting at the end of each month. If you exceed this limit, the software will display an alert: “You’ve exceeded your 1,000 monthly content credential signings. For more signings, contact support.datacolor.com.”

For multi-monitor setups, StudioMatch and SpyderTune features are claimed to deliver consistent color across devices, while ambient light adaptation and light meter integration ensure that the calibration reflects real-world lighting conditions.
