Section Meeting Tuesday, October 15 6 - 8:30 pm
Join us for an exclusive SMPTE event focused on the technology and best practices essential for achieving accurate color-critical calibration across diverse environments—from on-set production to post-production and final display.
Our presenters, David Abrams of Portrait Displays and Guillermo Keller of Colorimetry Research, will guide you through an in-depth exploration of the tools, techniques, and methodologies used to ensure precise color calibration.
• Guillermo Keller will provide an overview of measurement devices, highlighting the differences between colorimeters, spectroradiometers, and other instruments. He will explain how to select the appropriate tool for calibrating technologies such as LCD, OLED, and Laser-based displays.
• David Abrams, Senior Product Manager at Portrait Displays, will showcase the practical application of calibration software, focusing on Calman® calibration software, measurement devices, and pattern sources. You will gain valuable insights into display quantification, calibration, and validation workflows, with practical demonstrations covering a range of display types, including a DCI Digital Cinema Laser projector.
Attendees will have the opportunity to witness live demonstrations of various display technologies and participate in a raffle featuring three prizes provided by Portrait Displays, including Calman Ultimate, Calman Studio, and Virtual Forge.
