HCFR Colorimeter Description
HCFR Colorimeter is a calibration tool for video projectors and monitors. Unlike other tools of the same feather, this one is designed for more finer aspects of calibration, such as those regarding gamma and color.
The application is designed to achieve the best picture a given display can provide and obtain the most accurate colors, no matter the technology it relies on.
Easy to install
Looks may appear daunting, especially for an inexperienced user. If this is the case than appealing to the documentation included with the software is a good idea. It provides a glossary of terms and makes available a section for beginners.
Keep in mind that HCFR Colorimeter is designed to work in conjunction with the hardware sensor component bearing the same name. However, the application offers the possibility to run a simulated sensor.
Intuitive layout with versatile functionality
The interface is well-crafted, offering quick access to various panels and gathering the necessary information is done via a wizard-driven dialog window.
Before running the inspection sequence you can choose the color space (RGB, XYZ, xyY or xyz). As soon as the operation completes the application is ready to provide the values obtained from the gray scale measures together with various graphs displaying the color temperature, luminance and gamma or the near white/black scale.
Complex display calibration tool
HCFR Colorimeter is not a tool for beginners, although working with it and assimilating the information provided in the documentation file is not too difficult a task.
The utility integrates a flexible set of features that offer the possibility to measure not just the gray scale but also the primary and secondary colors or all of them together.
