Calibration Services
This service supports both standard and high dynamic range (HDR) workflows, and ensures your device meets industry standard specifications (SMPTE, DCI, and ITU).*
What to Expect
Our Imaging Science Foundation (ISF) certified professionals will travel to your site to ensure that any calibration is tailored specifically to your viewing environment. During a calibration session, several key image quality elements will be measured including: white point, grayscale, primary and secondary color chromaticity, luminance and gamma.
Customized Service
For added flexibility, our team can perform calibrations on virtually any type of display technology. Whether it be a consumer grade PC monitor or professional reference display, our service helps ensure your panel is operating to the best of its ability.
Additionally, to remove any ambiguity of your display’s performance, clients will also be provided with detailed pre and post calibration reports.
Canon’s Color Calibration Service offers one-time calibrations, recurring service contracts, and customized training. For more information or to request a free consultation, please fill out the form below.
