Correlation Files to Matrix Conversion

A major issue with the use of Correlation Files with the Calibrite/Xrite i1D3 colourimeters it they cannot take into account the probe-to-probe variations of individual i1D3 units, and are also restricted for use just with i1D3 probes.

With ColourSpace's unique Probe Matching capabilities both restrictions can be overcome by converting any Correlation File into a ColourSpace Probe Match file, and this is what the Correlation Files to Matrix Converter (SPD2Matrix) app does.

The app generates a ColourSpace .bpd Probe Match file that can be used a a Reference within ColourSpace's Probe Matching capability.

The one limitation is that as with any Correlation File use, Luminance matching cannot be performed, so during the Correlation File to Matrix conversion the Peak Y value of the display to be calibrated needs to be entered, with the relative RGB Y values for the file being ripple adjusted.

As this is how Correlation Files work with any i1D3 probe, the calibration workflow is consistent.
(And in reality while Spectros are very colour accurate they are not known for Luminance accuracy.)

The SPD2Matrix app can be downloads via Customer Downloads, or General Downloads.

I have a correlation file for my panel.
I convert it via (SPD2Matrix) to bpd (assume I indicated 100 Nits, and my panel perfectly matches that value)
Are the probe matched measurements I do with my I1D3 (no correlation) the same I do with my I1D3 set to that correlation file?

No, as the Probe Match workflow means you will be directly matching the i1D3 to the Reference data, which using a Correlation File cannot do, as stated above.
If the result were the same, there would be no point in using SPD2Matrix...

Do you mean I can take a spectral correction set (I assume RGBW) on my panel, convert it and use it any colorimeter?
Is that the use of the SPD2Matrix tool?

Have a read of the Addons page of the website, the Additions section where SPD2Matrix is listed.

Also, if you read the first post in this thread your question is already answered there.
