Calibrite
ColorChecker Passport Duo
Advanced Colour Checker
Designed from scratch with hybrid shooters in mind, the ColorChecker Passport Duo from Calibrite combines both video and photo features into the same portable solution that ensures accuracy from the time of capture. Combining four separate targets in a pocket-sized enclosure, the Passport Duo is also characterized by the updated, v1.2 Camera Calibration software for making DNG and ICC camera profiles as well as a dedicated Adobe Photoshop Lightroom plug-in for making custom post-production profiles.
Designed to be spectrally neutral and reflect light evenly across the visible spectrum, this white target serves as a neutral reference point to accurately compensate for different lighting conditions. Compared to other seemingly plain, white objects, the spectral response of this target ensures greater accuracy and consistency for creating white balance settings while shooting.
A compact version of the industry standard ColorChecker Classic target, this 24-patch grid is used to ensure accurate colour rendering from capture to post-production. It is used in conjunction with calibration software to create custom profiles and allows you to compare camera response to various lighting conditions. The 24 patches represent common colours of natural objects, including sky blue, skin tones, and green foliage, and each patch has been individually coloured to produce a solid tone of pure, flat, and rich colour with natural reflectivity.
The grayscale chips run vertically, which matches a waveform monitor's display much better than a horizontal scale does. Further, the chromatic and skin tone chips match the video spectrum, and line up with the target axis on a vectorscope.
The three panels of the grayscale target are white, 40 IRE gray, and black. These targets can be used to align the exposure and contrast of cameras you may be matching on set, and can help ensure that mid-tones, such as flesh tones, are rendered accurately. The combination of the white, gray, and black patches allows you to evaluate your exposure to prevent your highlights from clipping, while protecting your shadow detail, and 40 IRE provides a good standard to compare your exposure on faces to.
