Chad B's Calibration Gear

X-Rite Eye One Pro spectroradiometer

Gretagmacbeth Eye One Beamer spectroradiometer

These are functionally the same and are rotated anually while the other gets sent in for recalibration.  A spectroradiometer is the most accurate way to measure the grayscale on all display types- CRT, DLP, LCD, plasma, front or rear projection, and direct view. It gives color temperature readings and also tells me how the red, blue, and green outputs track each other at different brightness levels so I can make them as linear as possible. It also measures the device's primary colors and gamma to see how accurately they match up with NTSC and HDTV standards.  NIST certified. 

SpectraCal C6 Color Analyzer

X-Rite Chroma 5 Enhanced Colorimeter

A quick-reading colorimeter with far more accuracy than other colorimeters.  The Chroma 5 offers excellent low light level measurement capability, and it is appropriate for use in calibrating any video display technology. It is used if the i1Pro's low light sensitivity is not sufficient, and ony after profiling it off the i1Pro on your display.

Quantum Data 802BT HDTV pattern generator

Equipped with HDMI, component, RGB, and NTSC outputs, the high end Quantum Data outputs all resolutions including 1080P/24 and 1080P/60.  It's selectable RGB/YCbCr color space for the HDMI output is extremely important with some displays, and I have created many calibration friendly test patterns for it.

Spectrcal DPG-1200 HDTV pattern generator

Used as a backup, or where space is limited.  Also serves as a media player to display Blu Ray quality demo material if no HD source is available. HDMI output only.

Audyssey Pro installer kit

Acoustisoft ETF 5/RPlusD Audio measurement system

Various test DVDs allow me to calibrate your entire video chain, from the DVD player to the display.
