Light Illusion launches new Colour Management System - and ldquo;ColourSpace CMS and rdquo; for Pre-Ordering and Beta Testing

Light Illusion, a specialist in critical colour management within the film, post-production, and broadcast industries, has launched a brand-new colour management product called “ColourSpace CMS”. It is currently available for pre-order, which enables participation in the open beta program to provide feedback and input for the final release.

ColourSpace CMS is a software program which connects to a wide variety of display calibration probes in order to accurately assess the colour rendition of any display. It then creates colour management data which can be used to perfect colour accuracy by uploading it into a display that has colour management features, or alternatively, applied as a correction to the signal feeding the display using associated hardware.

Applications include display calibration, colour management, and colour workflows within the professional film, post-production, and broadcast industries, as well as for display manufacturers and home cinema enthusiasts. ColourSpace CMS data is compatible with most colour related post-production platforms such as Resolve, Flame and Baselight.

ColourSpace CMS has been designed to bring a significant improvement to how colour accuracy is measured and reported. Steve Shaw, CEO of Light Illusion expands, “The most visually impressive aspect of ColourSpace CMS is the unique way it communicates colour accuracy to the user. Full volumetric accuracy of any given display can be quickly and easily assessed, using the new 3-dimensional, fully interactive, re-sizeable, and colour coded graphs. Complex colour data can be clearly analysed, with 3D CIE and normalised RGB Colour Space graphs, including Error Tangent lines and colour coded measure points.”

Steve Shaw adds, “Colour coding within the display graphs helps to quickly identify the accuracy of any given measured point. For example, Green signifies that a measured colour value is below 1dE, while Orange shows a colour as being between 1dE and 2.3dE, and Red indicates a value above 2.3dE. Additional Tangent Lines are visual plots of any given point's error, showing the recorded location of the measured colour, compared to where the colour should actually be located for any given colour space.”

Respected display manufacturer Flanders Scientific Inc. has been actively involved in testing and feedback during the development of ColourSpace CMS. Bram Desmet, General Manager at FSI, comments, "It's always impressive to see something that was already good to begin with evolve into something that provides totally new and unique capabilities. Light Illusion really has changed the way we can assess and understand display calibration, and ColourSpace CMS is a testament to Light Illusion's commitment to the continued development of colour management and calibration tools."

Light Illusion aims for ColourSpace CMS to become the de-facto standard for advanced colour management, promoting a high level of display calibration and colour control, regardless of final application.
