With every new generation of sensors and software, the accuracy and reliability has increased. This new i1 Display Pro Plus continues that tradition with even greater sensitivity in the shadows, addressing some of the expanded display capabilities in the new HD and HDR monitors. If your measurement device is a i1 Display 2, i1 Display Pro, ColorMunki Display, DTP94, Spyder2/3/4/5, a popup dialog will show and allow you to import generic colorimeter corrections from the vendor software which may help measurement accuracy on the type of display you're using. After importing, they are available under the “Correction. Oct 19, 2019 The i1Profiler software (PC and MAC), sold with the i1Display pro is also available for free download if you have another compatible colorimeter - Download i1Profiler 1.8.3 (Oct. 2019) (i1Profiler 3.1.1 is Mac OS Catalina compatible.) Download XRD 3.0.11 or 3.1.7.6 (Oct. 2019) if your system does not recognize the colorimeter. Oct 16, 2014 Connect the i1Display Pro and open the i1Profiler software application. Profile the display using this workflow: Turn off “ADC” (Automatic Display Calibration) when profiling in the Advanced Mode of i1Profiler. Automatic Display Control (ADC) can sometimes produce unsatisfactory results. Follow these instructions to turn “ADC” off.

Calibrate and characterize your display devices using one of many supported measurement instruments, with support for multi-display setups and a variety of available options for advanced users, such as verification and reporting functionality to evaluate ICC profiles and display devices, creating video 3D LUTs, as well as optional CIECAM02 gamut mapping to take into account varying viewing conditions.
At its core it relies on ArgyllCMS, an advanced open source color management system, to take measurements, create calibrations and profiles, and for a variety of other advanced color related tasks.
Other features include:
Support of colorimeter corrections for different display device types to increase the absolute accuracy of colorimeters. Corrections can be imported from vendor software or created from measurements if a spectrometer is available.
Check display device uniformity via measurements.
Test chart editor: Create charts with any amount and composition of color patches, easy copy & paste from CGATS, CSV files (only tab-delimited) and spreadsheet applications, for profile verification and evaluation.
Create synthetic ICC profiles with custom primaries, white- and blackpoint as well as tone response for use as working spaces or source profiles in device linking (3D LUT) transforms.
DisplayCAL is developed and maintained by Florian Höch, and would not be possible without ArgyllCMS, which is developed and maintained by Graeme W. Gill.
