Color chart Datacolor SpyderCheckr VIDEO - color calibration target for video capture (SCV310)

Datacolor SpyderCheckr VIDEO is a color calibration target created for video capture and post-production workflows. The target features standardized color patches and gray scales that help streamline white balance, exposure reference and consistent color matching between cameras. Designed for use both on set and in studio, SpyderCheckr VIDEO supports efficient LUT creation and repeatable color grading across multiple cameras and shooting conditions.

Advantages

The SpyderCheckr VIDEO offers a compact, durable target with accurately measured color patches and neutral gray steps that simplify camera-to-camera matching. It reduces time spent on manual color correction by providing reliable reference points for white balance, exposure and hue/saturation adjustments. The target is compatible with common video post-production tools and enables consistent LUT generation, improving workflow repeatability and color consistency across projects.

Suitable for

• On-set color calibration and white balance verification
• Studio shoots requiring consistent color rendition across multiple cameras
• Creation of camera profiles and LUTs for color grading
• Exposure reference and neutral gray balancing in mixed lighting
• Color-matching across footage from different camera models

Key specifications

• Standardized array of color patches including primary, secondary and skin tones
• Neutral gray scale for exposure and white balance reference
• Durable, portable target design suitable for field and studio use
• Flat, matte surface to minimize reflections and glare
• Compatibility with common color management and grading software workflows

How to use

Place the SpyderCheckr VIDEO within the scene where it is evenly lit and visible to each camera being used. Capture reference frames at the beginning of the shoot and whenever lighting conditions change. Use the captured frames in post-production to set accurate white balance, create camera-specific profiles and generate LUTs. For multi-camera shoots, capture the target with each camera using identical framing and exposure settings to ensure consistent matching during color grading.

Recommendations

Keep the target clean and free of scratches; avoid placing it in direct specular highlights. Re-shoot reference frames after any significant lighting change. Store the target flat or in its protective case to preserve patch accuracy and surface finish.
