Developed specifically for hybrid shooters, the ColorChecker Passport Duo by Calibrite integrates both video and photography functionalities into a single, portable solution that guarantees precision from the moment of capture. This compact device houses four distinct targets and is enhanced by the latest v1.2 Camera Calibration software, which facilitates the creation of DNG and ICC camera profiles. Additionally, it includes a specialized plug-in for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, allowing users to generate custom profiles for post-production. Photo Targets White Balance Target Designed to be spectrally neutral and reflect light evenly across the visible spectrum, this white target serves as a neutral reference point to accurately compensate for different lighting conditions. Compared to other seemingly plain, white objects, the spectral response of this target ensures greater accuracy and consistency for creating white balance settings while shooting. Classic Target A compact version of the industry standard ColorChecker Classic target, this 24-patch grid is used to ensure accurate color rendering from capture to post-production. It is used in conjunction with calibration software to create custom profiles and allows you to compare camera response to various lighting conditions. The 24 patches represent common colors of natural objects, including sky blue, skin tones, and green foliage, and each patch has been individually colored to produce a solid tone of pure, flat, and rich color with natural reflectivity. Video Targets Video Color Target The grayscale chips run vertically, which matches a waveform monitor's display much better than a horizontal scale does. Further, the chromatic and skin tone chips match the video spectrum, and line up with the target axis on a vectorscope. Grayscale Target The three panels of the grayscale target are white, 40 IRE gray, and black. These targets can be used to align the exposure and contrast of cameras you may be matching on set, and can help ensure that mid-tones, such as flesh tones, are rendered accurately. The combination of the white, gray, and black patches allows you to evaluate your exposure to prevent your highlights from clipping, while protecting your shadow detail, and 40 IRE provides a good standard to compare your exposure on faces to.
