Flexible Picture Systems Partners with SpectraCal to Create Precise Color Calibration for the Image AnyPlace Scaler

ATLANTA, Sept. 24 /PRNewswire/ – SpectraCal and Flexible Picture Systems (FPS) are pleased to announce the introduction of CalMAN for Image AnyPlace, at CEDIA Expo 2010.

The new CalMAN Professional Version 4.1 extends SpectraCal’s precise and easy to use CalMAN color calibration software to FPS’ popular Image AnyPlace-200 geometry correcting and edge blending video/graphics scaler. Using CalMAN v4.1, installers in Home Theater and Pro AV markets can quickly and effectively perform compensation for luminance and color temperature variation in projectors, enabling invisible image blending from multiple projectors on flat, curved and even irregular projection surfaces.

CalMAN’s unique Interactive Charts feature allows automated adaptive control of the Image AnyPlace-200. The levels of the measurement bars are adjusted in an RGB graph, automatically writing the adjustments into the Image AnyPlace-200. The new Direct Device Control in CalMAN v4.1 also exposes the individual color controls of the Image AnyPlace-200 on-screen, so calibrators can manipulate them directly from the software.

“The Image AnyPlace-200 offers extremely precise and powerful controls,” explains SpectraCal’s CEO, Derek Smith. “We hope CalMAN Version 4.1 encourages more integrators to exploit this power.”

“We are delighted to have CalMAN’s color calibration working on Image AnyPlace,” said Mr. Steve Wood, President and CEO of Flexible Picture Systems. “The ability to quickly and automatically calibrate for slight variations in projector performance greatly reduces the set up time required for complicated, multiple projector installations. With precise color calibration, blended edges completely disappear!”

The companies will be demonstrating CalMAN Professional Version 4.1 for the first time at CEDIA Expo 2010 in SpectraCal’s booth, #4814.
