Learning about Auto Calibration of Displays for Video Production with Joel Barsotti

Color Talk with Tom Parish

On this interview with Joel Barsotti I decided to dig in with SpectraCal and ask some 'how to' questions regarding their AutoCal and AutoCube technology for display calibration. A curious question that comes up is can you trust software that calibrates a display for you? There is an assumption that only a highly trained calibrator can do display calibration and it can only be done manually and it always takes many hours to do for every display. Scary stuff for the smaller shops who want to be sure their laptops, attached displays and reference displays are at or near the REC 709 standard. So setting the stage here for those small post shops who are looking for a less complicated and less time consuming way to calibrate all of their displays I thought it would be worthwhile to learn more about AutoCal and AutoCube from the director of software development - Joel Barsotti.
