Datacolor’s Europa Sensor for Color Calibration of TVs, Monitors and Laptops

Individually factory calibrated color sensor integrates seamlessly with OEM applications to produce high quality displays with true-to-life colors

LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J.--()--Datacolor® (www.datacolor.com), a global leader in color management solutions, today announced the availability of Europa, a compact, high-accuracy color sensor kit for OEM integration with televisions, monitors, laptops and other light sensing applications where accurate color measurement and control is critical. The Europa system combines a multi-channel color sensor with built-in optics, electronics and software SDK in a turnkey package ready for integration by OEMs.

The Europa sensor measures color chromaticity and intensity. Each unit is individually factory calibrated to achieve consistency of visual matches across different displays. Tuned to match the CIE standard observer and emulate human vision, the Europa color sensor is designed to seamlessly integrate with displays to create true-to life colors for remarkably clear images.

“Consumer electronics manufacturers are making noticeable advancements in visual displays but are overlooking one crucial element – color accuracy,” said Michael Ritzer, Datacolor product manager. “A device is only as good as its display and manufacturers who recognize the importance of color accuracy on end-user experience can set themselves apart by leveraging the unique capabilities offered by Europa.”

Additional features and benefits of using the Europe sensor kit include:

  • Best end-user experience with images that have true-to-life colors and neutral grays
  • Consistent display performance by adjusting for color and brightness changes over time
  • Higher quality images with greater detail particularly in shadow and highlight regions
  • Reduced eye-strain from viewing color-balanced images with optimized brightness
  • High accuracy in a compact package that is suitable for OEM integration
  • Consistency across sensor units from individual factory calibration of each unit
  • Integrated optics for accurate sampling of light from displays
  • Tuned to match CIE standard observer and emulate human visual system
  • Fully customizable to OEM requirements for embedded or external use
