ColourSpace is integrated with a range of additional measurement probes, not just the models that have dedicated User Guides.
- ColourSpace INF/XPT/PRO/CAL/LTE & DPS*
- EIZO Internal
- ASUS Internal
- LG Internal
- Dell Internal
*Note: Different ColourSpace licenses are compatible with different probes. Check the ColourSpace page for details.
Additionally, any Spectro can be used with ColourSpace for Probe Matching, regardless of being ColourSpace Integrated or not. For additional information see the Probe Matching user guide.
ColourSpace Integration
As with all probes, operation and function is controlled via the Probe Options menu, accessed via the Profiling window, with the left-hand side of the menu providing generic probes settings, and the right-hand side settings specific to the connected probe.
Different probes will have different available options.
Probe Settings
The Settings options provide specific configurations for the connect probe, and will show the model name of the connected probe.
Full details for all specific probe options can be found within the manufacturer's own documentation.
Integration Time
Integration Time sets the time taken for any given measurement, with long integration times potentially generating more accurate readings.
Maximum Exposure Time
Maximum Exposure Time sets the maximum exposure duration for any given reading.
For optimal use, Intelligent Integration is recommended, if available.
Sync Frequency
Sync Frequency defines the sync frequency of the probe, with Auto normally being the default, although Manual can be used if the refresh rate of the display is known.
Additional Settings
Additional settings settings available with supported probes.
Matrix Presets
The Drop-down menu provides access to any pre-set Matrices held within the probe.
Note: Internal probe matrices should not be relied on for calibration accuracy - the use of Probe Matching to a Spectro is always recommended, using ColourSpace's unique probe matching methods.
If no matrices are accessible via ColourSpace, but do exist within the probe, use the probe manufacturer's own control software to pre-selest the desired matrix. The selected matrix will remain enabled when the probe is connected to ColourSpace.
Intelligent Integration
If available, Intelligent Integration sets the nits level under which Intelligent Integration will be used.
This provides the best possible low-light measurements, without impacting reading speeds at luma levels above the set value, so maintaining overall speed of profiling.
Average Low Light
Average Low Light is a probe generic option, that averages multiple readings in low-light situations using an advanced algorithm built into ColourSpace. The algorithm varies based on the probe in use to provide the best possible results.
Average Low Light should not need to be used when Intelligent Integration is active.
Enable Visible Feedback
If available, Enable Visible Feedback enables the inbuilt laser pointer to assist with probe alignment when profiling screens from a distance, or other visual feedback LED.
Probe Calibration
If required, the Probe Calibration button will save a dark current calibration reading, used to improve reading accuracy in low-lights.
If required, make sure the lens cap is fitted to cover the probe sensor.
Probe Adjustments
Probe Adjustments are generic probes settings, with consistent operation regardless of the probe in use.
Configure Matching
Probe Matching is used to match a Tristimulus to a Spectrometer, increasing the profile accuracy.
There are three different methods available for probe matching - ColourSpace's unique 4 Colour Volumetric Matching (FCVM), and Multi-point Volumetric Matching (MPVM), with the option to force the use of the traditional simple matrix method (FCMM).
Offset
Probe Offset enables a user to manually enter offset values for different probes/display combinations.
Perceptual Colour Match is a preferable approach.
Extra Delay
Extra Delay sets a delay time after the patch has changed before probe measurement starts, and can be set automatically via the Auto button, and manages signal path delays in the image pipeline.
Note: Some probe/settings/display combinations will not work accurately with the Auto function
