This specially bundled packaged provides you with both a CR-250-RH reference spectroradiometer and a CR-100 colorimeter. The CRI Utility software provided with this bundle allows both probes to be connected at the same time for fast and easy colorimeter calibration matrix creation. By using this combination of probes you can calibrate your CR100 yourself to work with any existing and emerging display technologies. You could use the CR-250-RH alone for calibration, but with this combination you can take advantage of the accuracy of the display agnostic CR-250 spectroradiometer while still also taking advantage of the incredible measurement speed and lowlight capabilties of the CR-100 colorimeter.
The CR-250-RH
The Colorimetry Research CR-250 is a high resolution spectroradiometer featuring 4nm spectral bandwidth and 1.6nm/pixel resolution. This probe is highly accurate and display agnostic allowing it to be used with all current and future display technologies including LCD, OLED, and projection.
The CR-250 is compact and lightweight (just 1.0 lb / 0.45 kg) yet extremely durable thanks to its all metal machined aluminum and stainless steel construction. Every CR-250 is shipped with a NIST traceable calibration certificate verifying the instrument's accuracy.
The CR-250-RH's rubber hood and large measurement spot size allow the spectroradiometer to be placed conveniently right against the screen of virtually all flat panel displays.
The CR-250 comes with CRI's own CRI application allowing for basic measurement, logging, and manual calibration of displays. The CR-250 is also compatible with LightIllusion's LightSpace CMS and SpectraCal's CalMAN, both sold separately, allowing for in-depth 3D LUT based calibration of all current Flanders Scientific monitors.
The CR-100 Colorimeter
The Colorimetry Research CR-100 is a high quality colorimeter designed specifically to work with virtually any display technology. The CR-100's machined aluminum and steel housing coupled with a completely solid state design ensure excellent durability while keeping the probe incredibly compact and lightweight (just 12 ounces / 340 grams). What sets the CR-100 apart from other colorimeters are its high quality tristimulus filters. Every CR-100 goes through a strict quality control process including measurement of every tristimulus filter with a double monochromator to ensure the following performance benchmarks are attained:
| Guaranteed | Typical |
Y (Photopic) | ≤ 2.0% | 1.4 - 1.8% |
Xr (Red) | ≤ 3.0% | 2.3 - 2.7% |
Xb (Red under Blue) | ≤ 1.2% | 0.8 - 1.0% |
Z (Blue) | ≤ 3.5% | 2.2 - 2.7% |
The CR-100 can be used with the CRI Application for measurement and logging and more importantly is completely integrated into LightIllusion's LightSpace CMS* allowing for full 3D LUT based calibration of Flanders Scientific monitors.
The CR-100 can be used to measure a wide variety of display technologies and utilizes the Four-Color Matrix Method to calibrate the probe for use with specific display types/spectral distributions. The Four-Color Matrix Method, developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), improves the accuracy of tristimulus colorimeters for measurements of color displays and has been verified to be appropriate for cathode rays tubes (CRTs), liquid crystal displays (LCDs), and organic light emitting diodes (OLED) displays. When ordering the CR-100 from Flanders Scientific the probe will be equipped with custom matrix matched selections for all current Flanders Scientific monitors in addition to any matrices provided by CRI.
*LightSpace CMS is sold separately.
