Filmmakers, DITs, Editors and Colorists: Get to your ideal color place faster!
Both the ColorChecker Video XL and ColorChecker Video MEGA provide extra-large formats for effortlessly capturing the target at greater distances and wider angles. Both Video XL and Video MEGA are designed for shoots when the space between your camera and subject is too great to capture a smaller target. They eliminate the need to move your camera closer or adjust the focal length of your lens, allow you to shoot in the same lighting condition that is falling on your subject and minimize color casting from any surrounding light. Each target provides the same chromatic colors, skin tones and gray reference chips as the standard size ColorChecker Video but are approximately 2X and 5X larger respectively. You are also able to increase capture resolution for more accurate post-production work. The ColorChecker Video XL and MEGA targets work with popular filmmaking tools including waveform, vectorscope, zebras and more.
ColorChecker Video XL and MEGA are ideal for large production environments:
- Cine – Wide Shots: Landscape, Cityscape, Custom Sets
- Event Filmmaking: Concerts, Churches, Sports, Stage
- Aerial Filmmaking
Using ColorChecker Video targets at capture get you to a worry-free, color balanced, consistently neutral and ideally exposed place faster than ever before. It’s an essential color tool you won’t want to be without, saving you valuable time from pre-production through post.
ColorChecker Video XL is an extra-large all-in-one durable and rigid video target measuring 23” x 19.5” (58 x 50 cm). The ColorChecker Video MEGA is even larger at 40” x 60” (102 x 152 cm). The XL target is available by itself or with two forms of added protection; your choice of a simple carry sleeve or a fully configurable carrying case.

Speed up your process and Save hours in post
Achieving the proper color balance and exposure for video can be challenging. F-stops don’t always match. Ambient lighting conditions change. Multiple cameras and lenses have different looks, even if they are the same brand and model. When you are on a large set, larger venue, or capturing aerial shots, it can be even more challenging to capture small reference targets. This adds up to quality challenges and increased workload in post-production for your colorist or editor.
Using a ColorChecker Video target allows you to capture the target at a greater distance or wider angle to speed up your color grading workflow by achieving ideal exposure and color balance, whether shooting with one camera or multiples.
Use these targets to:
- Set exposure
- Check highlights, shadows and mid-tones
- Establish accurate color balance
- Match multiple cameras
- Edit for mixed lighting
ColorChecker Video XL is available with or without a protective case.
Choose from these 3 options:
- ColorChecker Video XL (target only)

- ColorChecker Video XL with Carrying Case (target and carrying case)

ColorChecker Video XL and MEGA Target Only
The ColorChecker Video XL and MEGA targets are approximately 2X and 5X as large respectively of our standard ColorChecker Video target and includes the same series of chromatic color chips, skin tone chips, gray chips and illumination check chips. This layout is designed for ideal performance when used with vectorscopes and waveforms, whether on camera or in software.
- Chromatic Colors: Two rows of six chromatic color chips, both saturated and de-saturated are specifically designed to align with the primary color axis on a vectorscope. These colors provide two levels of color information to more quickly correct for color casts and achieve an ideal color balance.
- Skin Tones: Ranging from light to dark with subtle undertones to better reproduce accurate flesh tones. This row is positioned on the outer edge of the target for easy alignment on the vectorscope.
- Large Gray Levels: Four larger steps for even gray balance, including white, 40IRE gray, deep gray and high gloss black. These levels are ideal for determining proper exposure whether you use a waveform, zebras, or false colors. Use these levels to align the exposure and contrast of cameras you may be matching and ensure that mid-tones are rendered accurately. They are positioned in the center of the target for maximum ease.
- Linear Grayscale: six color chips for achieving even gray balance. This row addresses highlight and shadow regions.
- Illumination Check Chips: black and white chips at two corners to better assist in determining even illumination across the target.
