The Datacolor (formerly ColorVision) Spyder3Studio offers next generation monitor calibration and sophisticated printer profiling in a convenient, excellent value package.
Designed for photographers
The Spyder3Elite’s 400% increase in light sensitivity and the largest screen sample area or aperture in the industry results in improved accuracy on LCD screens and a faster calibration time. Three attachment methods - large area suction cup, counterweight, or tripod mount - can be used interchangeably to suit the needs of any photographer.
Total colour accuracy across your studio
Achieve consistency from screen to print with Spyder3Elite monitor calibration and Spyder3Print printer profiling. Create custom colour or black and white ICC profiles to suit your printer’s capabilities and a wide selection of media - ideal for professional photographers looking to produce a variety of effects.
Stylish and practical design
Smaller and lighter than the Spyder2 with a stylish optical design, the Spyder3 colorimeter also features a desktop cradle suitable for storage, ambient light monitoring or tripod attachment.
Super-fast ReCAL option
Initial calibration takes just five minutes - 29% faster than the Spyder2 - while ReCAL takes just two and a half minutes (64% faster), offering a quick way to maintain consistency.
SpyderProof function
View calibration results in before and after modes in four quadrants: Saturated Colours, Skin Tones, Gradients and Black and White. Zoom in on any photo to scrutinise highlights, shadow detail, colour or tonal response, and soft-proof images using your own custom profiles.
Unlimited calibration targets – Unlimited, user-defined choices for white point, gamma, white luminance, and black luminance gives you full control of your digital colour workflow, allowing you to tune your calibration to optimise shadow detail, studio light or light box matching, plus the destination output device.
StudioMatch Assistant
Calibrate and match multiple studio monitors to a single calibration target, with step-by-step guidance throughout the process.
Built-in ambient light sensor
This precision sensor accurate measures lighting conditions, providing you with options to change either your studio lighting or the display profile if the ambient light changes. By maintaining a history log of lighting conditions, Spyder3 can intelligently discern true lighting changes from random fluctuations caused by studio flashes or shadows.
Front Projector Calibration Option
The Spyder3Elite™ is the only calibration system in its class that calibrates front projectors, allowing you to achieve the same excellent colour fidelity in your presentations as you do on your monitor.
SpyderCertification option
Ensures that calibration standards are deployed consistently across all subscribed displays, issuing a warning if a display’s calibration becomes out of date or incorrect.
Expert Console
Displays all calibration parameters and actions in one comprehensive window; ideal for experienced users who no longer need the step-by-step wizard.
Display Assistant
Allows you to enter all of the model-specific information for each of your displays and stores them, saving you time on all future calibrations.
Custom Black and White Luminance Control
An essential tool for studio matching, allowing precision control of monitor black and monitor white luminance for the ultimate in calibration accuracy and screen matching.
New L-Star Calibration Option
Photographers using L-Star workflows can generate unique tonal response curves for open shadows and detailed highlights as an alternative to typical gamma settings.
Native Gamma Calibration Option
Advanced feature allows calibration of monitors to Native Gamma or White Balanced Native Gamma.
On-Screen Spot Colour Measurement
Take custom measurements of any spot colour on the display for analysis and comparison.
