ColorChecker Video XL

Speed up your process and Save hours in post

Including the ColorChecker Video XL target in your production will allow everyone on your team – from producer and cinematographer to editor and colorist – to work with consistent color information. This saves time from pre-production through post and helps you get to your creative look faster.

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 XL target allows you to capture the target at a greater distance or wider angle 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 Sleeve (target and sleeve)
• ColorChecker Video XL with Carrying Case (target and carrying case)

ColorChecker Video XL Target

Speed up your color grading workflow by achieving ideal exposure and color balance, whether shooting with one camera or multiples. The ColorChecker Video XL target is twice the size of our standard 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.
