Spyder Checkr Video is the all-in-one color chart you need to optimize and harmonize any video workflow. Its patent-pending Color Pattern Card design is our most comprehensive color pattern to date, generating a pattern of hues at two saturation levels, allowing you to see how all colors are being captured, not just primary and secondary colors.

  • Color Cards for Your Workflow – Spyder Checkr Video includes 5 high-gloss target cards: 2 types of color cards for different workflows (a conventional color patch card + the patent-pending Color Pattern Card), a 22-step gradient grey scale card, a solid, neutral grey card for white balance and a focus star card.
  • Wider Color Gamut – Glossy cards allow for high color saturation, wider color gamut, plus easier flare identification.

Feature Description

Colour Pattern Card

The color pattern card uses our new patent-pending design to help make color correction using vectorscopes easier to understand. The color card is developed for Rec.709 color space.

New Vectorscope Diagram

Each color has two patches at different saturation levels (75% and 100%). Adjust the hue and saturation levels for each color so that they match the boxes.

Traditional Colour Patch Card

Includes same colors as Colour Pattern Card, offering users another work flow option for convenience.

Traditional Vectorscope Diagram

The traditional colour card generates a “star” design in a vectorscope with the 2 saturation levels laying on one line.

Greyscale Card​

This 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 – Waveform

When 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.
