Monitor Calibration in the 90s: Datacolor SpyderX Pro Now Supports 3D LUTs and Content Credentials

[10:17 Wed,12.November 2025   by Thomas Richter]    

Datacolor has released a new version of its SpyderPro color calibration solution for monitors (Windows/macOS). The calibration software has been completely overhauled and now enables full calibration in under 90 seconds. With features such as 3D LUT export, HDR calibration, ambient light measurement, and C2PA support, which go far beyond classic calibration functions, SpyderPro is primarily aimed at professional users in the fields of video, film, broadcast, 3D animation, digital photography, and content creation who require consistent color fidelity across different production environments.

Precise Color Calibration up to 12,000 Nits
SpyderPro now supports ultra-bright displays with up to 12,000 nits and current display technologies such as OLED, QD-OLED, Mini-LED, and Apple XDR, making it suitable for calibrating HDR production environments with high maximum luminance. Unlike previous versions, SpyderPro now allows for the calibration of an unlimited number of displays.

3D LUT Calibration and .cube Export
A central innovation is 3D LUT calibration with direct .cube export, which makes it possible to generate calibration data for Rec.709, Rec.2020, DCI-P3, and other color spaces and transfer it directly to compatible video monitors.



### Device Preview Plus: Preview and Simulation
The Device Preview Plus function allows users to simulate the appearance of different content on various devices and in print. For this purpose, stored color profiles of current smartphone and tablet models can be applied to the images in the Spyder software, thus simulating the final look. Users can compare images and videos side-by-side, analyze pixels, perform batch processing, and transfer them to other devices via advanced export functions. This feature is particularly interesting for users who need to display their content consistently across platforms.

### Integration of Light Meters and Ambient Light Adjustment
SpyderPro synchronizes with the Datacolor LightColor Meter and other light and color measuring devices to adjust color calibration to the real lighting conditions of the current workspace. In conjunction with the StudioMatch and SpyderTune tools, multiple monitors can be matched to minimize color deviations between displays.

Datacolor SpyderPro Content Credentials (C2PA)
For the first time, Datacolor is integrating support for Content Credentials in the new SpyderPro—an open standard for digital provenance, which is supported by various major camera manufacturers, among others. This allows creator information, editing histories, and origin data to be embedded directly into exported files to make the origin and editing history of digital content traceable and thus prevent counterfeiting. Each SpyderPro license allows the signing of up to 1,000 pieces of content per month, which is particularly relevant for photojournalists and agencies who want to protect their work against manipulation or AI-based forgery.
