SPECTROMETER C-800
THE SUPER TOOL FOR COLOR CORRECTION

The SpectroMaster C-800 is a portable handheld spectrometer, designed especially for the still and motion capture industry. However, it addresses many industrial lighting applications, that require its unique color interpretation and color correction modes. Utilizing Sekonic’s CMOS linear image sensor design and software, the C-800 can measure every light source (LED, HMI, Fluorescent, Flash, Natural Light spectrum) with accurate color control and expanded color interpretation. Developed from the same platform as the Spectrometer C-7000, the C-800 capture spikes in light source output, especially fluorescent and LED lighting, providing unmatched color measurement performance. In addition, it offers color correction in both CCi and LBi (Camera/Lighting) filters, as well as White Balance corrections and Multi-Light comparison, defining the C-800 as a color evaluation and color balancing spectrometer. With its expanded Color Rendering Properties, the C-800 addresses the evolutionary progress of emerging light sources. Software enhancements now include Spectral Similarity Index (SSI) Television Lighting Consistency Index (TLCI), Television Luminaire Matching Factor (TLMF) and Technical Memorandum (TM-30).

PRECISION COLOR INTERPRETATION
FOR EVERY LIGHT SOURCE

SPECTROMETER (COLOR METER)

  • Measures Color Temperature (CCT) from 1,600 to 40,000K

  • Expanded Color Interpretation

  • Provides Color Compensation DATA

  • Provides Light Quality Information such as CRI, TM-30, SSI, TLCI/TLMF, and Spectrum distribution graph

  • For Still, Motion and Industrial applications

  • For all Light Sources

ILLUMINANCE (LIGHT METER)

  • Measures Brightness of Light Sources

  • Provides LUX, Foot-Candle, LUX SECOND and FOOT-CANDLE Second

  • Provides AMBIENT or FLASH Measurements

  • Illumination (1 to 200,000lx = 0.09 to 18,600fc in ambient light, 20 to 20,500lx • s = 1.86 to 1,900fc • s in flash light) *1

  • Conforms to Class A of JIS C 1609-1: 2006

*1: Models sold in some countries do not display illuminance and exposure in fc (fc*s) due to legal restrictions.​

Precise Measurement

Measures every light sources such as LED, HMI, Fluorescent, Tungsten, Natural Light and Flash.

Utilizing a CMOS linear image sensor, the C-800 Spectrometer measures any light source with repeatable and precise accuracy

Extended color control parameters such as hue/saturation and x, y (CIE 1931) offer further interpretation and understanding of new data fields for quick and easy use in various lighting applications

Expanded color rendering properties such as SSI (Spectral Similarity Index), TLCI (Television Lighting Consistency Index), TLMF (Television Luminaire Matching Factor) and TM-30 (Technical Memorandum) on top of CRI (Color Rendering Index).

VARIOUS DISPLAY MODES WITH INTUITIVE COLOR TOUCH SCREEN

The C-800’s 4.3” large color touch dot-matrix screen displays various modes and functions in a logical and intuitive layout. The main selection screen displays the quick icons for the following Display Modes.

EXPANDED MEASUREMENT AND COMPENSATION VALUES

The C-800 Spectrometer offers a wide selection of measuring values and various compensation solutions. Access to these values can be quickly selected by a tap of your finger on the appropriate icon.

CUSTOMIZE YOUR METER

All settings and preferences can be selected and adjusted within this Setting menu.

TOOL BOX

Frequently used settings such as Present selection, Memory titles and Memory management can be selected in the Tool Box by tapping your finger on the wrench icon on all Measuring screen.

OTHER FUNCTIONS

  • Up to 99 readings can be memorized (pic 1).

  • Comparison Function to show the difference between standard value and currently being measured value (pic 2).

  • Dark calibration can be done by turning the Light Selection Ring to set to the dark calibration position or perform it from Setting menu without a cap to cover the light receiving section (pic 3).

  • Two AA batteries or rechargeable batteries conveniently provide portable power (pic 4). A USB cable provides continuous power during measurement, firmware updates, data uploads or downloads and custom settings.

  • 270º swivel head
