Display calibrator Spyder X2 Ultra

Color calibration tool for monitors. Ideal for photographers, videographers, digital designers, content creators and HDR content producers/consumers with HDR/high brightness monitors/advanced calibration needs who may be using multiple monitors on one or more computers. Ideal for tethered photography, outdoor shooting where bright screens connected to a computer are necessary, location photography (photo or video), landscape photography, outdoor portraits, in the studio, on location.

The expanded lens-based capabilities of the X2 sensor allow for improved color gamut/brightness calibration in today's HDR/high brightness display market, up to 2000 nits.

Ideal for both photography and video, digital design, content creation and HDR content production, as well as consumers with high brightness/advanced display calibration needs.

The customizable X2 sensor ensures precision calibration for today's high-brightness displays, connected TVs and projectors, as well as continued functionality with future technical developments in HDR/high-brightness displays.

Upgraded software provides a cleaner and more concise user interface (UI) experience. New hardware with native USB-C connection. It also includes a USB-A adapter for added convenience. Ultimate Color Control Capabilities (High Brightness Workflow - Video and Cinema Targets (Rec. 709, Rec.2020) - Advanced Screen Mapping and Analysis - Unlimited Calibration Settings - Soft Proofing - Studio Match for multi-monitor calibration. Note: Make sure the HDR is disabled before calibrating your monitor to avoid inaccurate results.

The new Spyder X2 unleashes your reach into new color horizons for photos and videos, enabling precision screen color calibration across an extended range of brightness levels. We've redesigned the Spyder X software and expanded the capabilities of our sensors to provide the most versatile display color calibration tool to date.

How to determine your monitor's cd/m2 or NIT

Your monitor's brightness capability (expressed in cd/m2 or NITs) can usually be found on its packaging box or on the manufacturer's website. The following link may also be helpful.

It includes these great features

Advanced screen mapping and analysis

Gain a better understanding of your monitors' color, brightness, contrast, gamut, tonal response and white point. You can also check screen brightness, color uniformity, and screen color accuracy.

Calibrate multiple computers/monitors side by side

Studio Match provides simultaneous side-by-side calibration for multiple computers/monitors. Ensures consistent and accurate color reproduction across multiple connected displays with most display types.

Video and Cinematic Goals

Enjoy a more concise user interface (UI) experience.

Includes video calibration targets Rec. 709 and Rec. 2020.

Unlimited calibration settings

Starting with industry standard presets, you can customize the settings to meet all your calibration needs, including fully customizable gamma curves, white point and brightness settings.

Soft Proofing

It allows you to simulate other monitors and devices on your calibrated monitor. For printers, you can see how prints will look for a specific printer model, paper, and ink, and load ICC printer profiles.

Room light monitoring

A built-in ambient light sensor measures the light in your space throughout the day, allowing you to adjust your display's brightness and contrast to ideal levels. The software can either warn you to recalibrate or do it automatically using custom profiles depending on the light level.

How does it work

Monitor calibration optimizes your monitor's performance and color accuracy for your workflow (photography, videography, etc.). This quick and easy process measures, evaluates and corrects your monitor screen for an accurate view of your digital world.

Spyder monitor calibrators create an ICC monitor profile that is used by your graphics card and the color management software in your computer's operating system. A calibrated monitor allows your computer to display a true color representation of your image file in your editing software so you can
