Target Pages Explained

The ColorChecker Passport Video 2 kit offers a versatile range of targets to enhance colour control in your photo and video production. The Video Colour Target has six chromatic colour chips designed for video production, six skin tone chips, six grey balance chips, and six highlight and shadow chips, including a high gloss black, allowing you to achieve the ideal colour balance. The Grayscale Target comprises three essential steps: a white highlight, a 40 IRE mid-tone grey, and a saturated high gloss black reference, resulting in perfect exposure.

With the White Balance Target, you can create custom in-camera white balance settings, ensuring a consistent neutral point across a series of images without later corrections. Lastly, the Classic Target, an industry-standard 24-patch colour reference target, serves the dual purpose of creating custom camera profiles and aiding in visual assessments. These targets combine to provide comprehensive colour control for your creative projects.

FAQs:

What photographic targets does this colour tool include?

There are four main targets on the ColorChecker Passport Video 2: Classic, Video Colour, Grey Scale, and White Balance.

Why can’t I use just any white object for white balancing?

Using a sheet of paper or other white object for white balance may appear as a straightforward solution. Still, these items only remain neutral under some lighting scenarios and, in fact, lack consistency. An imprecise white balance can lead to colour shifts and an absence of uniformity across different lighting conditions, causing the correction of colours to become a time-consuming task during post-processing. The Calibrite ColorChecker Passport Video 2 diminishes the worry that your white balance will be uneven.

How compact is the Calibrite ColorChecker Passport Video 2?

As the name suggests, the Calibrite ColorChecker Passport Video 2 is as compact as a passport with dimensions of 125 x 90mm for lightweight and easy transportability. It also includes a handy lanyard, so your ColorChecker is always with you, ready for action.
