FAQ: Which meter
is right for me?
The backbone of any video measurement or calibration effort is the
colorimeter. Spectroradiometers, despite their reference accuracy, do not offer
either the speed or the low-light sensitivity for the front line measurement
instrument. For this you need a colorimeter. The Klein K-10a is the industry
standard for professional-quality colorimeters. Its speed and low-light
sensitivity is the best in the business. For maximum accuracy it should be
paired with a reference spectroradiometer, such as those offered by JETI or
Research Colorimetry.
This is one of the few color analyzers on the market that can reliably read a
10% stimulus test pattern off of a front projection screen. Its low-light
performance is that good. It is unequalled for speed and low-light sensitivity
and offers the fastest and most stable response of any color
analyzer we have tested. It returns readings virtually instantaneously, and they
do not bounce around. They remain quite stable, even at surprisingly low light
levels.
Professionals interested in the K-10a are usually comparing it to the
Colorimetry Reseach CR-100 as the two
units are similar in form and function (both are professional quality
colorimeters). The Klein K-10a is faster than the CR-100, but not by a lot. Both
are similar in terms of accuracy. The K-10a is larger and includes a diffuser
and an aiming mechanism, although at a higher price. These features are
available for the CR-100 but as optional add-ons, bringing the pricing between
the two units closer.
