The i1 Filmmaker Kit is a convenient kit of two essential color tools – i1Display Pro and ColorChecker Passport Video – combined to achieve fast, efficient color balance for any video production.

The i1 Filmmaker Kit – i1 Display Pro and ColorChecker Passport Video Bundle, which delivers essential color tools from shoot to edit  is on show at X-Rite’s stand and at the Atomos booth, during the IBC 2016 trade show, in Amsterdam.

The i1 Filmmaker Kit designed for filmmakers, cinematographers, colorists, and editors is the ultimate set of cost-and time-effective color editing tools, offering the highest level of on-screen color accuracy and unparalleled color-viewing, and the ability to achieve ideal color balancing throughout the video workflow from shoot to edit.

The X-Rite i1 Display Pro’s latest i1Profiler software with Rec-709, Rec-2020 and DCI-P3 support and full compatibility with Atomos monitor-recorders, gives true on-screen color accuracy–on/off set. Combining it with award-winning ColorChecker Passport Video, recipient of 2016 Hot-One Award, i1 Filmmaker Kit reduces editing time, achieves multiple camera matching and delivers ideal color balance.

“i1 Display Pro, allows discerning filmmakers to achieve unrivaled color accuracy on latest display technologies and select field-monitors. We are pleased to have Atomos’ support of our i1Display Pro for their monitor-recorders,” states X-Rite Vice President of Product Marketing Chris Winczewski.

The ColorChecker line used by professional photographers and filmmakers celebrates its 40th Anniversary–includes the Passport Video, an evolution from the Classic 24-patch Macbeth target.

Whether using ColorChecker Passport Video manually or automated with software support from DaVinci-Resolve by Blackmagic Design, Color Finale from Color Grading Central, or 3D-LUT Creator, it delivers an in-frame reference starting point that is easily attainable for an ideal neutral color before applying a specific ‘creative look.’

Winczewski concludes, “The i1 Filmmaker Kit designed for filmmakers, cinematographers, colorists, and editors is the ultimate set of cost-and time-effective color editing tools, offering an unparalleled color-viewing and balancing experience throughout the video workflow. It reflects X-Rite’s continuing commitment to the international filmmaking industry, blending innovation with a century of color theory science know how.”
