Swedish high-end camera and optics manufacturer Hasselblad has announced today a new partnership with Japanese computer display maker EIZO through which the company aims to automate color calibration for EIZO's ColorEdge monitors directly from Hasselblad's Phocus software.

The latest Phocus 2.8 version comes with EIZO's ColorEdge software development kit (SDK) that will allow users to easily activate the built-in monitor calibration sensor directly from the application, eliminating the need for an external calibration device.

“At Hasselblad, we are constantly driven to further develop and fine tune not only our high-end camera systems but also our imaging software, Phocus, to provide professional photographers with the best possible tools for a well thought out, intuitive, fast and integrated workflow,” said Ove Bengtson, Hasselblad product manager.

“The successful collaboration with EIZO enables Phocus users, with just a few clicks, to calibrate their ColorEdge monitor conveniently within the Phocus software itself, ensuring that the viewing experience lives up to the outstanding colour accuracy of Hasselblad RAW files,” he added.

The new Phocus version along with this new feature will be showcased starting tomorrow at Hasselbald's and EIZO's booths at the CP+ Camera & Photo Imaging Show in Yokohama, Japan.
