 The X-Rite Chroma 5 is a quick-reading colorimeter with far more accuracy than other colorimeters. The Chroma 5 offers excellent low light level measurement capability, and it is appropriate for use in calibrating any video display technology.

An excellent match for the CalMAN Video Calibration Software.

CalMAN's meter profiling allows Chroma 5 users to achieve even higher accuracy. Using CalMAN's meter profiling, you can profile your Chroma 5 against a spectroradiometer (such as the X-Rite EyeOne Pro). CalMAN compares the differences in readings, then allows you to automatically adjust what the Chroma 5 records as if it were the Eye One Pro.

The Chroma 5 is manufactured and calibrated by the Gretag Macbeth division of X-Rite Incorporated. It is calibrated at the factory with a reference instrument traceable to a National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) source.

Reviews/Testimonials

"Got my package today. So fast on the shipping. I just paid the other day. Nicely packaged sharp looking unit. First impression is quality. Nice job with the custom packing insert all velvety and such. First rate. Can't wait to get this hooked up and going. Nice job SpectraCal. Thanks for the great customer service!" - Ray

"I used last month's sale opportunity and got a Chroma5, calibrated my RS1 with it, to great results. A lot more accurate than the EyeOne LT I had before, especially at low light values, where the LT was dancing all around the bull's eye - frustrating. (The Chroma5 does that a bit at very low light values as well, but to a much lesser extent, as it is still "workable" even then.) After using the Chroma5 I must agree that it's a deal even at its non-sale price. Seriously. What a great little toy." - Scooby
