I have for sale a dedicated color management system that I bought without planning ahead.
I have decided that my picture is good enough and do not need it anymore.
Selling $600 free shipping. I bought it for $1000 new.
It is in perfect condition, lightly used, the more inexpensive, fully featured CMS you might be able to find. It has 4 profiles for day and night settings, or different inputs, and can also force equipment that have the ability to output 10-bit mode, which is essential for some.
The interface is intuitive, you can change values for all primary (red, green, blue) and secondary (yellow, cyan, magenta) colors. You can also change the gamma curve and there is a 1024-point grayscale setting.
• 4 Programmable 1024 Point Luminance Correction
Tables • 4 Programmable 1024 Point RGB Correction Tables
• 4 6-Axis CMS Tables
• Wired IR Remote for Automation
• USB Interface for easy, reliable setup
• Simple HDMI-In / HDMI-Out configuration
• Simple push-button control for manual operation
• Industry proven Color Lookup Table technology
• Proprietary 6-Axis Color Management System
• Automated Calibration and Setup with CalMan 4.0
I may have previously overstated the difficulty of this. You do need a light meter and a calibration software, and you have several options. On the higher end, there is CalMan 4.0, and especially the Enthusiast edition will get you automated calibration. On the lower end, there is ColorHCFR, which is free, but has limited support in meters. I suggest a strike in balance and to get something like this:
http://www.curtpalme.com/ChromaPure_DTP94.shtm for $300 including the light meter and the software.
Please note that even if you decide to go with other color management systems such as the Anchor Bay iScan Duo or the much more expensive Lumagen/Sencore Radiance, you still would need a light meter and a software.
A CMS is essential for you perfectionists out there, and this little tool will get that done without all the de-interlacers and upscalers included in competing products which may be redundant.
Thanks for looking.
