ColourSpace is the de-facto standard for advanced color management within the global film, TV, and post-production industries where color control is not just critical but requires facility-wide management from a simple to use system and display format and workflow agnostic.
ColourSpace is the only color management system to meet all these criteria, providing fully integrated facility-wide color management for on-set, post-production, and broadcast workflows.
Uniquely, a single ColourSpace license can provide total facility-wide calibration capabilities without the need for multiple systems or a 'floating' license.
ColourSpace enables unprecedented and previously unachievable levels of accuracy and data reporting for display calibration, color management, and color workflows within the professional Film, Post-Production, & Broadcast industries, as well as for Display Manufacturers and Home Cinema installers.
Within the ColourSpace family, there is a range of different versions, providing options and capabilities that suit different users' varying needs.
There 4 different ColourSpace Professional License Versions:
The main difference between the Professional versions of ColourSpace is hardware integration and LUT manipulation capabilities.
ColourSpace LTE is the starting level for professionals looking for accurate calibration of their grading displays.
ColourSpace LTE allows for the profiling and calibration of any display connected to a Resolve or Scratch system, utilizing their in-built LUT capability, and is compatible with selected probes, displays, and LUT boxes.
ColourSpace CAL provides professionals accurate calibration of grading displays and is compatible with all known DI system LUT format, as well as professional monitors and LUT boxes.
ColourSpace CAL allows for the profiling and calibration of any display connected to any grading system. It is compatible with the Spyder4/5/X, i1Display PRO, i1PRO/2/3/3 Plus probes.
ColourSpace CAL will import and export all LUT formats and integrate with all LightSpace CMS compatible LUT boxes and displays.
ColourSpace PRO provides professionals accurate calibration of grading displays and is compatible with all known DI system LUT format, as well as displays and LUT boxes.
ColourSpace PRO allows for the profiling and calibration of any display connected to any grading system and can work with all compatible probes.
ColourSpace PRO will import and export all LUT formats and integrate with all LightSpace CMS compatible LUT boxes and displays.
ColourSpace XPT is the Full ColourSpace CMS version, with all options, features, and capabilities included, with the ability to work with any supported probe, LUT box, and display.
ColourSpace CMS is the most capable and feature-rich display calibration, LUT management, and color management systems (CMS) within the industry, offering a wide range of tools and capabilities to enable the generation of accurate 3D LUTs for post-production, broadcast, and on-set operation, enabling a highly accurate display device calibration and look emulation.
LG Templates for DeviceControl Interface can be used for LUT management (upload 1D/3D LUT with the full backup capability) or basic DDC (Direct Display Control) of LG 2017 (with Technicolor Firmware), 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 OLED TV's.
HDR10 / DoVi calibration using LG's iTPG is supported with 2019/2020/2021/2022 LG TVs.
We recommend PGenerator (Pi4/Pi400 based boards) for 10-bit SDR, HDR10 and Dolby Vision patch generation.
LG 2019/2020/2021 PQ Curve Upload Template can be used to configure and upload 7 HDR tone-mapping engine calculation parameters for more accurate and also adjust the roll-off point for 3 different user-specified mastering display peak values of your HDR10 content.
LG OLED SDR display characterization for LG 2017 (Technicolor FW only)/2018/2019/2020/2021/2022 OLED TVs:
LG C8, E8, G8, W8, C9, E9, G9, W9, CX, GX, WX, ZX, C1, G1, M1, R1, Z1, C2, G2, and Z2 OLED TV's have 10-bit 1D LUT and 33-Point Cube 3D LUT capabilities.
LG B7, C7, E7, G7, W7, B8, B9, and BX have 10-bit 1D LUT and 17-Point Cube 3D LUT capabilities.
ColourSpace LTE, CAL, PRO or XTP can export LG 1D LUT and 3D LUT files format for LG Template of DeviceControl Interface.
For projector users, LightSpace can export 1D LUT files for Sony ImageDirector or JVC AutoCal software.
They are available very detailed PDF guides for LG OLED 2018/2019/2020/2021/2022 profiling of SDR, HDR10/DoVi calibration for 2019/2020/2021/2022 (using LG iTPG) to cover with full details and incredibly details explanations of steps for users to perform the best possible calibration per each calibration mode.
Patch generation settings, meter settings, and the best possible procedure to provide the ultimate results visually with the lowest possible 1000 point dE reporting.
LG OLED optimized patchsets for profiling are included to reduce panel drifting using special patch sorting.
ColourSpace uses a more advanced meter profiling method to fix meter profiling calculation issues introduced with WRGB OLEDs when regular meter profiling is used.
The traditional '4 Colour Matrix Method (FCMM)' meter profiling method is not suitable for non-additive displays.
It's called '4 Colour Volumetric Matching' (FCVM).
That meter profiling method is not available in LightSpace.
LightSpace uses 4 Colour Matrix Method (FCMM).
ColourSpace has available a WRGB OLED meter spectral correction table (X-Rite EDR file) suitable for WRGB OLED panel-based users of i1Display PRO.
X-Rite i1Display PRO SDK has an OLED spectral correction table suitable for Sony Broadcast RGB OLED.
ColourSpace users of i1Display PRO have available spectral correction tables for both RGB and WRGB OLEDs.
ColourSpace provides free software updates for several years.
In comparison, LightSpace has provided 12 years of free updates already.
Alternative software solutions based on annual fee models.
For example, CalMAN Home has one year of updates.
Customers will have to re-buy CalMAN Home at full price ($149) every year to keep the software updated.
That detail is hidden from CalMAN Store for the software to look 'cheaper'.
CalMAN Studio / CalMAN Video PRO 'currently' has $495, while CalMAN Ultimate $795 annual fees for updates.
When a CalMAN customer misses paying for two years of Studio/Video PRO/Ultimate All-access, he has to pay for all years he missed to pay to get the latest updates.
CalMAN Studio / Video PRO until 31 January 2019 had $295 annual fees, however starting from 1 February 2019, it increased to $495 per year, with no guarantee for any price increase in the near future.
ColourSpace is not based on any annual fee models, so customers will always get free updates until the end of the product's life.
