DESCRIPTION

The Sekonic SpectroMaster C-800 incorporates the features of the first spectrometer, the SpectroMaster C-700 series, the New SpectroMaster C-800 and flash. In addition, it includes expanded Colour Rendering Properties, spectral Similarity Index (SSI) Television Lighting Consistency Index (TLCI), Television Lminaire Matching Factor (TLMF) and Technical Memorandum (TM-30-15). With its CMOS linear sensor image, the SpectroMaster C-800 allows users to capture spikes in light source output, like fluorescent and LED lighting.

The C-800-U has more Colour Rendering Standards than any other field meter in the industry.

It is the first and only meter to include SSI (Spectral Similarity Index) developed by the Sci-Tech Council of the Academy. SSI gives the user the ability to set any light as a standard, or use predefined standards (such as CIE D55), and then gives other lights an SSI score based upon how well they will match. The C-800-U also includes TLCI (Television Lighting Consistency Index), TLMF (Television Lighting Matching Factor), TM-30-15 (Technical Memorandum) in addition to CRI (Colour Rendering Index), which can be measured singularly or in two light comparison mode.

The CRI Comparison screen displays a percentage of the light source ability to reproduce a colour accurately using the values. The Spectrum screen displays the spectral energy distribution of a source in real time. It can be displayed as a graph and data or full screen.

The C-800 now has more colour control parameters specifically designed to help match lights to one another. CIE1931 (x, y) has been added, giving users the ability to measure and dial-in specific chromaticity coordinates into lights of some major brands. Hue and Saturation units of measure have also been added to better match RGB LEDs to any light source. In addition, new display screens provide easy interpretation and understanding of the new data fields, making this the best meter for all applications.
