New Way Of Controlling Colours In Videography

Spyder Checkr Video is a colour reference chart for use with video vectorscopes, waveform monitors and professional video editing software such as DaVinci Resolve®, Adobe Premiere® and Final Cut Pro®, to ensure accurate video colour and exposure. Spyder Checkr Video allows users to colour calibrate one or more camera and lens combinations to help get color correct at the start of shooting, in addition to streamlining the post-production workflow.

Unique, Patent-pending Colour Pattern Card

The Spyder Checkr Video system includes a unique, patent-pending Color Pattern Card that provides more color information at a glance. When viewed with a vectorscope, the card generates a pattern of hues at two saturation levels, allowing you to see how all colors are being captured, not just primary and secondary colours. The easy-to-understand circular pattern that’s generated provides an unprecedented level of color information, instantly.

Ergonomic Design

The unique ergonomic design of the Spyder Checkr Video case has been specifically developed to lessen fatigue and improve handling when shooting. It fits securely in your hand while preventing your fingers from casting shadows onto the cards, minimizing application errors.

Each color has two patches at different saturation levels (75% and 100%). Adjust the hue and saturation levels for each colour so that they match the boxes.
