  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

X-rite color munki display ?

It looks like it is based off the X-Rite i1 Display Pro, which is a great colorimiter. You still need software to control it in order to calibrate.

The OMOD Command and Command RT have a test pattern generator built-in that can be controlled by software such as CalMAN. (Full disclosure, I am the architect of CalMAN). CalMAN will control the OMOD and tell it which patterns to display over HD-SDI. Or another device, such as an AJA T-Tap, io4K, etc... Then after measuring the display, it can create a 3D LUT to correct the display. The OMOD supports 3D LUTs as does the camera.

You can load a 3D Correction LUT in the OMOD and a "Look" LUT in the camera. You can also load a look LUT into the OMOD, but then you need to ensure the display itself is properly calibrated. The OMOD has two 33x33x33 LUTs it can run at one time. You can then connect two external displays and calibrate both while then sending a look LUT in camera. Lots of power and flexibility.

The OMOD offers and open API so others can also add support to control its pattern generator. If you have a preferred piece of calibration software, just reach out to them and ask them to support the OMOD.

Would this be recommended for calibrating computer displays?

How about for on-set monitors with SDI input if we can feed the signal from the computer to SDI unperturbed?

Btw on deal at $89

Hi Dan,

ColorMunki Display / i1Display PRO are based under the same hardware; they both have sealed and higher quality filters and they are less sensitive to drift over the time, but you will get better and more stable reading to any pulse display (Plasma/DLP projectors etc.) with i1Display PRO because it has better refreshing rate scan capability, I prefer i1Display PRO also because is supported from more calibration software solutions and it's because it's faster also.

ColorMunki Display is not supported by CalMAN/LightSpace/ChromaPure calibration software.

You can use ColorMunki Display with HCFR and ArgyllCMS/DispcalGUI only.

i1Display PRO can work with all calibration solutions.

If you want to auto-calibrated any of your PC/Mac/notebook monitors you may have via VCGT or ICC, the ColorMunki Display is coming with a simple X-Rite software for this job but it lucks customization or the target colorspace/gamma...for example it has selection only to calibrate 2.2 gamma while that software is slow.

i1Display PRO is coming with X-Rite's i1Profiler software that has customization, it's more advanced to it's calculations, X-Rite claims that is working 5x times faster, it can take sample of many more colors, and it has a Verification feature of the post-calibration results (with pass/fail also) to be able to see if it's accepted.

ColorMunki Display software don't have verification feature. ColorMunki Display is a lot of slower compared with i1Display PRO.

Generally the software which coming with ColorMunki Display is poor compared to i1Profiler which is coming with i1Display PRO.

For these reasons it's better to invest to i1Display PRO.
