“The new Spyder2PRO is in keeping with our R &D philosophy. We evolve color technology as market demands emerge, ensuring that color remains true as it migrates across media. In this case, LCD and DLP projectors continue to come down in price, replacing slide projectors as the fundamental tools for creative professionals. With Spyder2 PRO V2.0, pros know their work will be dynamically displayed in this new medium,” Datacolor Vice President Brian Levey explains.

Targeted to the demanding designer, photographer and digital professional, ColorVision Spyder2PRO™ V2.0 calibrates the color in digital projectors as well as for CRT, LCD and laptop displays. The package is based on the international award-winning Spyder2 colorimeter and features monitor calibration software including digital projection and computer-based home theater capabilities.

CES 2006 attendees can get a first-hand look at Spyder2PRO Version 2.0 which features:

• Superior projector software. Built-in ambient light correction automatically creates independent profiles for medium and high room light, improved white-point correction routines, automated black and white luminance adjustments, and improved methodology for loading calibration data at start-up. A ‘Profile Chooser' makes it easy to select and change profiles.
• Exceptional monitor support. V2.0 Software, reduces read times on LCD and laptop monitors by half. True multiple monitor calibration support is now available for both Mac and Windows systems.
• Industry-honored colorimeter. Since the release of ColorVision Spyder2 technology in at Photokina in K๖ln-Germany in 2004, the colorimeter, which represents the heart of the Spyder2 PRO V.20 package, has received accolades from prestigious digital technology editors and magazines worldwide. These include: 4.5 out of 5 Mice for Apple operating systems in SVM Mac (France), MacWorld (USA and UK);.

Top market research firms for projection and display technologies are forecasting that the $12 billion worldwide projections market will grow significantly with the arrival of new high performing, brighter, more colorful, smaller and lighter projection systems. These analysts predict that presentation front projection sales alone will rise from the 3.1 million units sold in 2004 to as many as 12.9 million units in 2009.
