TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR COLOUR...
As part of its new association with X-Rite Light Illusion is proud to be able to supply the Hubble probe as a stand-alone system, as well as combined with the 3D LUT Builder.
It is very important that the underlying display devices within a DI environment are accurately set-up, so some form of measurement probe is required to set the correct initial brightness and colour temperature.
And, there is no better measurement probe for this than the Hubble.

The Hubble probe is an ideal addition to any colour critical environment, and in its basic form, as it come out of the box, enables accurate brightness and colour temperature setting to be achieved via direct display device measurement.
Hubble is designed for measurement of any display technology found in DI environments, from monitor displays to projection systems, and provides highly-accurate results to guarantee colour calibration.
Hubbles are factory calibrated using multiple display devices such as CRT, LCD, and DLP projection, making the Hubble very accurate in a wide range of display applications.
User operation is very simple, needing no more than Hubble to be pointed at the display to be measured and connected to the USB port on a computer. You can get either single-point measurements or a continuous stream of live data from your Hubble for storage in spreadsheet-ready format.

Hubble Features
The X-Rite Hubble is the industry leading non-contact optical colour meter, and includes a laser targeting pointer for accurate alignment within dark room conditions, which is critical for accurate measurement.
With the Light Illusion LUT Builder Calibration Integration it becomes an excellent calibration measurement system, enabling very accurate checks to be performed on a range of display systems, including, but not limited to, direct display systems, such as LCD, LCoS, CRT, and Plasma, as well as projection systems, such as DLP, D-ILA, and film projection.
Hubble utilises large area light-to-voltage light-sensing ICs for superior sensitivity, combined with charge-pump technology to measure the sensor output, with an 8º field-of-view for accurate level integration. The internal electronics include an integrated temperature compensation circuit for measurement stability, and should you feel the need to match the Hubble to additional measurements systems there are 14 user-addressable calibration matrices included as standard.
Importantly, the colour readings delivered by Hubble match very closely the response of the human eye, providing alignment that can be visually seen as being superior to alternative measurement systems.
Hubble is capable of measuring to extremely low light levels, down to 0.01 foot-lamberts, which is a requirement of the precision necessary within high-end DI operations.
All Hubbles are backed by an X-Rite manufacturers one-year warranty. Click here for full details.
