Digital Cinematography

Ensure color consistency across all your devices using display and color measurement solutions from Photo Research.

Calibration of professional displays is essential to broadcast, production, post production and content creation. Photo Research was founded by Karl Freund, a well-known cinematographer, who began developing products to improve the quality of photography in the motion picture industry early in his career. His products, the Spectra® Color Temperature Meter and a direct reading brightness meter, received two Academy Awards for technical achievement from the Motion Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences. Since then, Photo Research has won four additional Academy Awards from the Motion Picture Association of America for products as diverse as the film-lens balanced Three Color Meter and the Spectra Film Gate Photometer for motion picture printers.

Today, Photo Research spectroradiometers set the standard with best-in-class, high-precision, research-grade light and color measurement and calibration solutions. Unlike other technologies, they allow you to more accurately measure device characterization using data on the spectral power distribution of the source.
