Often when working in professional video color and post-production, we must judge the images we generate on monitors of varying budget and quality. But how do we know if these monitors are correctly adjusted to be reliable?

The calibration process will allow us to bring these monitors to the standards we are working with (Rec709, sRGB, etc.) so that we can use them confidently for color work.

But where do we start calibrating a monitor? Is the built-in auto-calibration sufficient, or should we go further? What equipment do I need and how much does it cost? What are the steps to follow? Is a calibration LUT always necessary? Do the processes change depending on the programs I use?…

In this course, we will explain the technical processes that must be followed to calibrate a monitor from start to finish. On one hand, we will lay the foundations applicable to any calibration program, and then perform real practices of a monitor calibration process with ColourSpace ZRO, ColourSpace INF, and LightSpace. We will also exemplify the processes with CalMan.

We will work with different solutions to be able to give examples of professional calibration at low cost.

We will explain the processes of manual profiling with calibration charts, synchronized patch measurement for full profiling, creation of a calibration LUT and generation of a confirmation report. We will see a complete Rec709 calibration of the Eizo CS240 monitor.

This course is oriented towards calibration of “client” monitors for use in color and audiovisual post-production (video monitors connected to the computer through an I/O video card) and does not fully cover the calibration of monitors connected to the computer through the graphics card (photography with Photoshop, full-screen video on a second UI monitor, etc.), although it can also serve as guidance for this type of calibration.
