DESCRIPTION
Intended for photographers, videographers, cinematographers, and gaffers, the C-800 SpectroMaster Color Meter from Sekonic is an advanced field meter capable of reading virtually all light sources whether they're LED, flash, incandescent, HMI, fluorescent, or in the natural light spectrum. Most importantly, it's a practical lighting tool that analyzes the light source using 11 different display modes on its 4.3" color touchscreen, indicating specifically what you need to do to achieve your desired effect. The meter's CMOS sensor enables measurement in increments as fine as 1nm and allows capture of color spikes in the light output - an especially valuable function when working with LED, HMI, fluorescent lighting, and mixed sources.
The SpectroMaster has very impressive accuracy, repeatability, and response specs and a wide range of values in all modes. Flash for example, can be color analyzed with selectable shutter speeds from 1-1/500 sec. Ambient light has a 1.0 to 200,000 lux range (0.09 to 18,600 fc). The intuitive color touchscreen offers access to the meter's many functions including a Spectrum graph, CRI, Camera Filter, Lighting Filter, White Balance Compensation, and comparison of multiple lights.
With its plethora of light-analytic tools, ability to read and compare all types of light and real-world filter solutions, the Spectrometer is destined to be a staple on set.
 
-CRI, TLCI, TLMF, TM-30-15, and SS:-
Developed by the Sci-Tech Council of the Academy, SSI (Spectral Similarity Index) gives the user the ability to set any light as a standard, or use predefined standards (such as CIE D55), and then gives other lights an SSI score based upon how well they will match. The C-800 also includes TLCI (Television Lighting Consistency Index), TLMF (Television Lighting Matching Factor), and TM-30-15 (Technical Memorandum), in addition to CRI (Color Rendering Index) which can be measured singularly or in two light comparison mode.
 
Match Light Sources by Measuring x, y and Hue Saturation:-
The C-800 has more color control parameters specifically designed to help match lights to one another. CIE1931 (x, y) has been added, giving users the ability to measure and dial-in specific chromaticity coordinates into lights of some major brands. Hue and Saturation units of measure have also been added to better match RGB LEDs to any light source. In addition, new display screens provide easy interpretation and understanding of the new data fields, making this a superior meter for all applications.
 
Designed to be Used on Set :-
Fast button layout for single-handed operation
270° Swivel head to measure from any angle
Built-in dark slide for effortless on-set use
 
Measure Virtually any Kind of Light
The C-800 series incorporates a CMOS linear sensor, that measures and evaluates the true color temperature of a light source from 380 to 780nm in 1nm output wavelength increments, capturing spikes in output of conventional light sources as well as fluorescent, flash, HMI, and LED sources.
 
Measurements:-
Measurements include Kelvin (K), Illuminance (lux/fc), LB/CC filters (for camera lens or lighting filters), LB/CC Index, CRI (Ra, R1 thru. R15), ⊿uv, SSI, TLCI, TM-30-15 (Rf, Rg), CIE1931 (x, y) chromaticity coordinates, Hue, Saturation.
 
Expanded Color Rendering Properties:-
Standards include CRI, SSI, TLCI, TLMF, and TM-30-15.
 
Extensive Memory:-
Up to 99 data measurements can be stored in the memory.
 
Wide Measurement Range of Color Temperature :-

Illumination: 1 to 200,000 lux in ambient light, 20 to 20,500 lux in flash light
 
User-Friendly Design:-
270-degree swivel head, dark calibration without a cap, large 4.3" color touch panel LCD display, and Customize Function.
 
Various Displays:-
Text, Spectrum Graph, Spectrum Comparison, CRI, CRI Comparison, SSI, TLCI/TLMF, TM-30-15, lighting filter for Rosco and LEE, camera filter for Kodak Wratten, LEE and Fuji, Multiple Lights Comparison, White Balance Correction.
 
C-800 Series Utility:-
The utility which can be downloaded from www.sekonic.com, offers ceasy settings in the meter and analysis of memorized data in a computer
