Sekonic C-800 SpectroMaster Full-Spectrum Color Meter

The Sekonic C-800 SpectroMaster Full-Spectrum Color Meter was developed with input from leading lighting manufacturers, filmmakers, photographers, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and Science and Technology Council to solve problems traditionally faced when trying to understand and measure color properties of light, and how lights will reproduce colors on camera.

The C-800 is the first and only meter to include SSI (Spectral Similarity Index) developed by the Sci-Tech Council of AMPAS. SSI gives the user the ability to set any light as a standard, or use predefined standards (such as CIE D55), and give other lights an SSI score based upon how well they will match. The C-800 also includes TLCI (Television Lighting Consistency Index), TLMF (Television Lighting Matching Factor), TM-30-15 (Technical Memorandum), and CRI (Color Rendering Index), which can be measured singularly or in two-light comparison mode.

The C-800 now has more color control parameters specifically designed to help match lights to one another. CIE1931 (x, y) has been added, giving users the ability to measure and dial-in specific chromaticity coordinates into lights of some major brands. Hue and Saturation units of measure have also been added to better match RGB LEDs to any light source. In addition, new display screens provide easy interpretation and understanding of the new data fields, making this the ideal meter for all applications.
