January 5, 2006

Datacolor introduces its latest upgrade and most exciting innovation in professional color calibration, COLORFACTS PROFESSIONAL 6.0™, at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in the Las Vegas Convention Center, Booth 25754, South Hall No. 2 (Ground Level), January 5-8, 2006. Datacolor ColorFacts Professional 6.0, is an integrated hardware and software bundle that calibrates and corrects color on plasma, LCD and wide screen TVs for video images. It ships with the latest Spyder2 colorimeter, provides open support for other meters, and has direct integration with popular signal generators. Its integrated software module, COLORFACTS C3 delivers feature-rich remote access far beyond raw control of the display, and is recognized by the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF). Pioneer, with its new Plasma series, offers direct interface with ColorFacts Professional 6.0. "Our Pioneer and Pioneer Elite PureVision plasma HDTVs incorporate our proprietary PureDrive II digital video processing for optimal picture quality from a wide variety of sources. There may still be circumstances when a consumer prefers to modify their Pioneer plasma display depending on the devices they've connected it to; the room configuration; or room lighting conditions," said Paul Meyhoefer, director of display product planning and marketing for home entertainment at Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. "For these reasons, we offer Enhanced ISF C3 that provides a direct COLORFACTS C3 (http://www.colorvision.com/colorfacts_remote.shtml) interface for certified solutions such as ColorFacts Professional. This helps consumers get the best possible performance from their high-definition panels." "ColorFacts Professional 6.0 has been developed with the professional high-end home theater market in mind and is targeted at developers and installers", says Datacolor Technical Director of Home Theater Products Mark Hunter. "Video display test labs also are interested in ColorFacts as a reference system."
