Description

The PRODIGI COLOR C-500 and C-500R measures and displays colour temperature and compensation values in LB/CC index or filter numbers for both digital and film cameras. In Digital mode, the colour temperature and compensation readings are based on human visual response. In Film mode, readings are based on the colour characteristics of traditional photographic film. By engineering the spectral characteristics of both systems into a single meter, Sekonic designers have given today's digital and film photographers greater control over lighting and colour reproduction than ever before.

The C-500 and C-500R incorporate four colour sensors: a Red sensor for visual/digital response (Rd); a Red sensor for photographic film response (Rf); a Green sensor (G); and a Blue sensor (B). Sekonic have included a new "Simulated Spectrum" software solution (patent pending) that emulates the blue and green channel colour response for both digital and film.

Wireless Radio Triggering Mode

The PRODIGI COLOR C-500R is the first colour meter to incorporate a flash triggering radio transmitter module. Simply press the measuring button to wirelessly trigger flash units up to 100 feet away. The built-in transmitter is compatible with PocketWizard's radio triggering systems, as well as the PocketWizard Wireless Freedom partners (Profoto, Dyna-lite, Photogenic, Norman and Lumedyne with built-in PocketWizard radio technology). The Wireless Radio Triggering Mode offers 32 digital coded channels and four Quad-Triggering Zones.

Illuminance Measurement

The brightness of continuous light sources is displayed in LUX (lx) or Foot-Candle (FC). Illuminance measurement is especially useful for cinematography, videography, theatrical and other applications that require precise control light source brightness.

Color Values Displayed in Three Ways

COLOUR TEMPERATURE DISPLAY (in Kelvin)
The colour temperature is displayed for human visual response in Digital Mode or the spectral response for photographic color film in Film Mode.

LB /CC INDEX DISPLAY
Light Balancing in MK-1 (Per Mega Kelvin) and Colour Compensation Index correspond to light source filtration systems. The correction values can be directly entered into the colour adjustment mode of some professional DSLR cameras.

LB/CC FILTER NUMBER DISPLAY
Light Balancing and Color Compensation filtration for lens or light-source filtration is displayed in direct filter values. The display can be adjusted to read out in KODAK Wratten, LEE or FUJIFILM.
