X-Rite ColorChecker Video XL

The X-Rite ColorChecker Video XL is an extra-large format color and exposure target well-suited for working at greater distances and wider shooting angles. Twice as large as the standard ColorChecker Video, this XL version eliminates the need to move your camera or adjust the focal length simply to record the target in the scene. Besides its larger size, this XL target contains the same chromatic colors, skin tones, and gray chips as the other versions, making it suitable for use with waveforms, vectorscopes, zebras, and other tools for affecting color and exposure.

Chromatic Colors

Two rows of six chromatic colors are featured, with both saturated and desaturated values, which are designed to align with the primary color axis on a vectorscope. These colors provides two levels of color information for quickly removing color casts and producing an ideal and even color balance.

Skin Tones

Positioned on the edge of the target is a range of color chips designed to represent various skin tones from light to dark with subtle undertones.

Gray Levels

In the center of the target are four larger gray steps to aid in gray balancing, and include white, 40IRE gray, deep gray, and high gloss black. These levels can be used to determine proper exposure when using a waveform, zebras, or false colors and can be especially useful in multiple camera setups to ensure consistent exposure and mid-tone rendition.

Linear Grayscale

Six chips are used to display a linear gray scale to help in achieving an accurate gray balance, especially in regard to the highlight and shadow regions.

Illumination Check Chips

Black and white chips are located at two of the corners to aid in determining even illumination across the target.

Software Support

The ColorChecker Video XL target is supported in both DaVinci Resolve and 3DLUT Creator for greater efficiency when color grading.
