Colour Management Specialist Launches SpaceMatch DCM

News Image
Light Illusion has launched SpaceMatch DCM, a new software application to guarantee colour matching of PC connected displays, avoiding the problematic issues associated with the use of ICC Profiles within the film and TV arena.
Prime applications for SpaceMatch DCM are to match all VFX PC displays throughout a facility, without using ICC profiles so allowing all graphics programs to operate without any unwanted colour issues, and for the matching on-set or production laptops, allowing footage to be reviewed as close as possible to the desired final look.
Linux and Mac versions of SpaceMatch DCM will follow close on the heals of this first Windows release, and a Command Line capability within the application ensures the correct calibration LUT is always activated whenever the PC is started up.
SpaceMatch DCM is a partner system to LightSpace CMS, which has become the de facto standard for high-end display calibration within the film and TV industry.
Using ICC profiles for PC display calibration is fraught with problems when used within the film and TV industry as many graphics programs attempt to use any ICC based display calibration as part of their internal image colour management. This is causes the final exported image to suffer unwanted colour changes.
SpaceMatch DCM avoids these problems by directly controlling the display's calibration via the PC graphics card, without the PC's operating system knowing anything about the applied colour management.
LightSpace CMS is used to perform the display profiling and generate the required calibration LUT, with SpaceMatch DCM then applying the generated LUT to the display via the graphics card. Multiple LUTs can be quickly switched between to allow different looks or calibrations to be dynamically compared, or turned off completely on demand. Multiple desktop displays can be controlled individually as required.
