Progressive Labs was formed in 1999 with its core business being in the design of pc based video color analyzer software. The company has had several successful products that have performed well in the consumer and industrial markets. Our current models are the C-5 tristimulus analyzer and the new MicroSpec, which is a state of the art spectroradiometer.

The C-5 Calibration system provides the professional calibrator with a high-speed tristimulus probe allowing a real-time calibration experience. The probe has excellent low light level measurement capability and may be used for measurement and alignment of CRT, DILA, DLP, LCD, LCOS and Plasma displays to industry standards. Progressive Labs exclusive screen offset file function provides accurate calibration to any front projection screen material. More then sixty files are provided in the package including screens from Carada, Da-Lite, Draper, Oray, Screen Research, Stewart Filmscreen, and Vutec.

Progressive Labs Microspec Spectroradiometer provides the professional calibrator with accuracy previously found only in instruments priced at $25,000.00 or more. The Microspec utilizes a state of the art 2048 element CCD back-thinned detector coupled to an ultra low-noise a/d converter stage providing greater then 1500:1 signal to noise ratio. The ultra-low noise electronics allow the instrument to operate at extremely low light levels with high accuracy and repeatability. The Microspec accurately measures visible light in the 380nm - 780nm wavelength range and is capable of measuring Grayscale as well as Primary and Secondary values of all video display technologies.

Measurement of primaries and secondaries are critical when calibrating today's digital displays, which provide color management software for proper adjustment of the displays color gamut. Filter based analyzers which are typically well suited for Grayscale analysis do no provide the requisite level of accuracy needed to perform color management system calibration with. The Microspec is perfectly suited for calibration of any display type due to its high resolution and wide bandwidth design.

Our software provides the calibrator with a highly accurate instrument with a graphic interface containing a full complement of features designed to make the job both accurate and easy to perform. A number of automated test routines are incorporated in the software for users of both pattern generators as well as test DVD's.
