The TVLogic TVL-K-10A Klein Instrument K-10A is a high-precision, portable colorimeter designed for accurate display calibration. Featuring optimized optics, large thermally stable photodiodes, and advanced filters, the K10-A delivers 3x greater sensitivity than its predecessor, enabling superior low-light and gamma measurements. With rapid measurement capability, FFT flicker analysis, and rugged construction, it provides reliable, repeatable colorimetric and luminance data for professional display testing and calibration, compatible with USB or RS-232 interfaces.
The TVLogic TVL-K-10A Klein Instrument K-10A is a versatile and highly accurate color calibration utility engineered for professional display measurement. Building on the legacy of the Klein K-10 series, the K10-A incorporates optimized optics and large 5mm x 5mm photodiodes, providing a 3x improvement in sensitivity and precise readings even in challenging low-light conditions. Its enhanced optical filters ensure accurate measurement across the full color spectrum, closely matching CIE 1931 Standard Observer curves.
The K10-A is designed for fast and reliable data acquisition, taking 256 measurements per second and displaying 8 readings per second for easy readability. It features a light mixing chamber to minimize variations, an FFT flicker meter for real-time analysis, and 8 high-intensity LEDs for defining the measurement area. Its rugged, impact-resistant housing ensures dependable performance during continuous use, while auto-ranging electronics provide precise measurements across a broad range of luminance and chroma values.
Ideal for display manufacturers, calibration labs, and content professionals, the K10-A supports colorimetric measurements in xyY, uvY, RGB, Tc, Tuv, and Y, offering precise luminance, chroma, and gamma evaluation. Included with the system are a PC software package and a NIST-traceable calibration certificate, ensuring accurate, traceable results.
