Here is a link to DIY page on how to build the probe. (We strongly recommend you first use software generated patterns, then use DVD + IR stuff when you are « fluent » with our software)…Īlthough we encourage you build our sensor (it gives very good and reliable results, including sub 30 IRE) it is not mandatory, starting with version 1.1 we support SpyderII and DTP94 probes. Our probe also allows to control a DVD Player (or any IR driven device) this, in addition to pattern DVD will allow to calibrate your full video chain from player to projector/screen quite easily. It contains light sensors we use to measure embeded CPU (PIC) format and transmit data to application software via USB link. We have build our own version (similar to tri-stimulus probes).

You can also look at this article (in French only at the moment) : « Colorimètre HCFR : La calibration « pour les Nuls » »Ī PDF version of this tutorial is also available (in French).Ī probe is the essential to measure colors. This version supports the HCFR probe (see below), as well as some well known third party probes :
The current version if v1.1.2, available to download :Ī discussion forum is available for suggestions, comments and questions.

This version works on mac OS 10.4 and 10.5, on intel and PPC processors.

This latest version also support of some well known third party probes :Ī mac OS X version of the colorHCFR software is now available. Latest version (v3.x) supports our Probe as well as a « simulated » one (so you can learn even if you don’t yet have a probe). « Original » version (v2.1) is available here : Original Team version 2.1 (8.1 Mo) Since early 2012, a new maintainer, « John Ad » is working on « 3.x » version that mainly correct a few bugs AND support a lot of third party probes.Ĭurent version is 3.0.4, you can download it here… GNU GPL license.ĬolorHCFR is available in French, English and German (Spanish version should come soon). The current version ( v3.x ) of the software is available for downloading… The windows version of the software runs on Windows 2000, XP, Vista and Seven. It then allow you to display various curves and the histograms to acheive calibrating your setup. The « HCFR Colormeter » software is the heart of the system, it receive the color information from probes, to treat them. Then you, users, will have to change settings and parameters on your devices to try to refine the results to be as close as possible to the standard of video color reproduction. The « HCFR Colormeter » allows to calibrate a screen (or projector), this consisting in measuring displayed color patterns. Unfortunately, most did not have correct initial settings and/or can vary over time…
Our screens, LCD, Plasma, CRT as well as video projectors must to display colors as accurate as possible. Winter, 2005, we are ready (almost :D)… The « HCFR Colormeter » can leave our hands and go public… In parallel, a beta testers team starts long series of tests and measurements, Jean-Louis starts working on documentation while David and Christophe build a superb DVD of test patterns…īenoit, always full of ideas, add infrared acquisition to probe (using sensors !), the software is now able to fully aquire remote command and can drive a DVD player and thus the test patterns DVD. We start looking at some professional grade building of probe. Michel intensively works on profiles while Georges joins team and largely improves software design and features. Summer 2005, many features are added to software and on probe side we decide to use USB port, this makes easier powering the sensors and we also add IR support (emiter) to the probe…Īutumn 2005, the software is now in beta 12, USB probe works marvelously.

March 2005, things accelerates even more, Michel, Emmanuel, Georges and FX have completed the whole maths and software architecture, an initial version of « HCFR » probe is available and ready for live testing (it was using serial port and PIC 16F876). Benoit and Patrice (Ki and Laric) starts probe design when in the meantime FX builds alpha version of the software… Alec, Emmanuel, Georges, Michel (Mlill) and others elaborates the first bases of reflections.Īt the end of 2004, a first draft is outlined, after an intense reflexion phase with Emmanuel and Michel on theory bases, Francois-Xavier (Letchoa) founds very interesting sensors at TAOS who were going to become the eyes of the system. The « HCFR Colormeter » is the result of a collective development effort, driven by some passionate persons of HCFR forums…Įverything starts by a forum subject » Build your own colormeter » in the DIY forum.
