Datacolor and Portrait Displays are showing a prototype of SpyderHDMI that automates the calibration of HDMI-based sets with a combination of a sophisticated color meter and firmware in the set.  The two partners have a history of color management and hope to demonstrate to the CE industry the advantage of a widespread in-set alignment connection.

Calibration through the HDMI connection eliminates the need for a computer or third party solution that requires OSD adjustments.  The software is embedded directly into the TV for calibration.  This is one to watch to see if great color gains traction with the manufacturers.  If adopted this could have a significant impact on production monitors.

You can check out SpyderHDMI in booth 20309 of the HDMI Tech Zone in South Hall.
