FSI Monitor Calibration
GaiaColor Volumetric AutoCal
XMP, XMP C, and DM series monitors support GaiaColor Direct Connect Volumetric AutoCal. This allows supported probes to be plugged directly into the monitor for fast, accurate, and simple calibration.
Unlike many White Balance only Auto Calibration routines our GaiaColor AutoCal uses volumetric data to accurately target all selectable color gamuts, color temperatures, and EOTFs available on the monitor. 3D and 1D LUTs are calculated and saved to the monitor on the fly for any color management menu selections a user makes based on the saved AutoCal profiling data. For the operator this means one simple and unified calibration routine, all without requiring a computer.
GaiaColor AutoCal support does not prevent you from using Calman, LightSpace, ColourSpace, or any other preferred calibration program capable of exporting LUTs in FSI compatible formats. FSI is committed to an open calibration platform that allows operators to use the calibration solution that best suits their needs or preferences and GaiaColor AutoCal is just one of those many options.

Colorimeter Matrix Creation
Colorimeters (e.g. i1D3DS, CR100, K10A) are faster and more affordable measuring devices than reference spectroradiometers (e.g. CR250, CR300), but they are not light source (display type) agnostic. For the most accurate measurement performance colorimeters should have separate matrices available for each display technology to be measured and each colorimeter should be individually calibrated. FSI is happy to make matrices for various FSI monitor models when customers purchase a colorimeter from us or send their colorimeter to us for calibration, but if you have access to your own spectroradiometer the guides below can be followed for on-site colorimeter matrix creation.
