quick and easy colour accuracyThe Spyder Checkr Video has been designed with professional videographers, hybrid photographers/videographers and content creators who use video for their work in mind. Ideal for both users who want a quick, easy way to ensure colour accuracy in their videos as well as for users more experienced in editing video who will appreciate the comprehensive colour information Spyder Checkr Video provides at a glance.
New Way Of Controlling Colours In Videography
accurate video color and exposureSpyder Checkr Video is a colour reference chart for use with video vectorscopes, waveform monitors and professional video editing software such as DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere and Final Cut Pro, to ensure accurate video colour and exposure. Spyder Checkr Video allows users to colour calibrate one or more camera and lens combinations to help get colour correct at the start of shooting, in addition to streamlining the post-production workflow.
Unique, Patent-pending Colour Pattern Card
more colour information at a glanceThe Spyder Checkr Video system includes a unique, patent-pending Colour Pattern Card that provides more colour information at a glance. When viewed with a vectorscope, the card generates a pattern of hues at two saturation levels, allowing you to see how all colours are being captured, not just primary and secondary colours. The easy-to-understand circular pattern that’s generated provides an unprecedented level of colour information, instantly.
Ergonomic Design
improved handlingThe unique ergonomic design of the Spyder Checkr Video case has been specifically developed to lessen fatigue and improve handling when shooting. It fits securely in your hand while preventing your fingers from casting shadows onto the cards, minimizing application errors.

Key Features
Colour Pattern CardThe colour pattern card uses our new patent-pending design to help make colour correction using vectorscopes easier to understand. The colour card is developed for Rec.709 colour space.
New Vectorscope DiagramEach colour has two patches at different saturation levels (75% and 100%). Adjust the hue and saturation levels for each colour so that they match the boxes.
Traditional Colour Patch CardIncludes same colours as Colour Pattern Card, offering users another work flow option for convenience.
Traditional Vectorscope DiagramThe traditional colour card generates a “star” design in a vectorscope with the 2 saturation levels laying on one line.
Greyscale CardThis card is designed to give accurate reference points for both exposure and contrast levels. It contains (2) 11-step greyscale bars, Glossy White, 50% Grey and Black.
Greyscale Card – WaveformWhen the greyscale card is isolated, the pattern at the right is generated on the waveform monitor. The 3 large bars provide a quick reference for exposure, while the stair-step pattern helps prevent clipping issues.
