Re: [datacolor_group] Spyder3 upgrade

2014-01-22 by C D Tobie

Hello,

Spyders are hardware; so "upgrades" really don't exist, they way they do (or at least used to do!) in software. What does exist is marketing programs in various countries, which sometimes include upgrade offers to existing customers. But its really not a matter of an upgrade program, its a matter of what the best price you can find in your country at a given time is, under any program or from any reseller.

Spyder4Elite does include calibration standards for video and graphic design that you don't get in Spyder3Pro, so if you are interested in calibrating to Rec709 etc, that would be one more reason for looking for a good price on a new Spyder4. B&H Photo's website for the US, for example, is currently offering a $30 instant rebate on Spyder4Elite, plus free shipping. You can check around and see what the best deal in your country from the various vendors is.

Happy Spyder Hunting...

Hello,



I have a Spyder3 pro but I'm now running Mavericks on all my systems and I don't think there is system support for the older model.

I believe there are options to upgrade to new systems or should I be looking at buying the new package from scratch?

I edit for Film and TV and also work with graphic design for print. Thought I should mention that as I can see so many new options for a variety of professionals.

Any advice welcome.
Best
