Sekonic Corporation, Light Meter Sales Department, announced today the updated firmware version for SPECTROMASTER C-800. New firmware will become available in May 2019.
The C-800 SPECTROMASTER is the industry leading handheld spectrometer for cinematographers and photographers around the world. We strive to keep this meter on the cutting edge of technology and work with top lighting manufacturers, standards organizations, and organizations such as The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Science and Technology Council to keep the C-800 the most relevant tool for cinematographers and photographers.
Our newest firmware will update the TM-30 metric from TM-30-15 to TM-30-18, which Rf is identical with Rf of CIE 224:2017, international standard. This is a standard that many people feel it will replace CRI (Ra) as a more accurate way to measure the color fidelity (Rf) because TM-30 measures 99 colors chosen from more than 100,000 measured objects vs CRI's 8 colors. TM-30 also measures gamut (Rg) which lets you better understand how saturated your colors will look. This recent firmware update also shows the CCT, LB and CC properties of a preset when chosen in the Tool Box under the Preset Selection menu.
