How Does Color Calibration Work?
Ғылым және технология
Apple announced a new “Color Balance” feature for Apple TV in their Spring Loaded keynote. Does it work? How does it fair against professional calibration? What is color, anyways?

The new Apple TV 4K doesn’t just sport a new remote, it has a new Color Balance feature for color calibration. In a bit of a surprising move, Apple brought this feature to any Apple TV running iOS 14.5 or later. In essence, it uses the Face ID array on your iPhone to measure and analyze the color output of your TV against the baseline targets established by filmmakers and the industry: Rec.709 and Rec.2020 for HDR. The AppleTV will then modify its color output over HDMI to make your display more “color accurate.” The question is: does it really work? Is it better than just calibrating yourself? How does it compare to professional calibration? And is color really the biggest issue that your TV has? Find out this and more-as well as how color, luminance, and chromaticity/locus charts work-in this new Snazzy Labs video!

I prefer to set colour based on what I like....Every eye is different. Colour accuracy is more for print professional's (etc) that need to output and accurate colour product.
Your attention to detail is insanely .. awesome 😜

If you use nighttime mode on your phone which makes your screen more yellow, you can really notice how our eyes adjust the white balance. Cause after a while you dont even notice that your screen is so much more yellow! Its crazy honestly!

From the moment you ask "What is colour?" to precisely 4 minutes 33 seconds and 4 frames, I am going to use as an educational tool in my classroom. Honestly, sometimes I think KZread is a better teacher than I am because of excellent media content like this - thanks Quinn.

As a photographer, I am calibrating my monitors with calorimeters for years. You do not need opensource for that. Entry level ones are very cheap nowadays. Last gen also has ambient light sensors in it and switches to different modes. Calibrating once is not enough. If the amount of environmental light changes(day/night or sunset etc), a new calibration is needed. (Unless you are working in a no-natural light source ( windowless) room) Ones with an external sensor built in tries to compensate that for a degree by switching modes due to the detected light. (Note: a calibrated display is less appealing to a home user. Home users often are after vibrant colors, higher contrast, higher brightness and exaggerated whites)
As a professional colorist I found this video very entertaining! Most people don’t understand color gamut and it is the biggest difference between nice and cheap televisions and monitors! Solid very informative video for people who know nothing about calibration and color space!

As someone who recently decided it would be 'fun' to learn a bit more about display calibration (still got A LOT to learn), I got to say you did an amazing job simplifying an incredibly complex topic and making it understandable. It definitely helped me make some connections regarding colour that I didn't make previously. Once again, excellent video!
This was such a technical and detailed video, that I had to literally pause and rewatch multiple times to understand. Can’t imagine the kind of research and effort that went into producing this. Superb work.

Quinn, all of your videos are actually amazing. You cover really unique topics that many others don't, with such a high level of information and amazing videography. Not to mention, you're an audiophile and watch snob, both things I consider positive that I can relate to. Wish I had the money for it though :') One thing I just noticed is you are the ONLY youtube I've watched so far where I can fully zoom in on my iphone xr, and still watch comfortably without being cut off from important info. Super duper appreciated. Keep up the snazzy work.
This is a fantsatic video Quinn, I am glad you gave us a colour 101 class
What an amazing video. Thank you so much. I was always interested on how calibration works.
Man the effort you put into your videos is so incredible. Thank you :)

Love the quality of your work! I don't own a single apple device and yet I still enjoy your videos.

The research you put into this… omg. Kudos.
NIce one, Snaz. Great explanation of color space.
For the thumbnail work , i always went for a reversing effect when Text is in front of something in this case your arm, never thought about leaving the stroke only and keep the subject clean. Props to that you inspire me without even clicking on the video. :)
Quinn, you always make excellent videos, man. I didn’t use the filmmaker mode on my tv, but now I will.
Man.. I've been watching your channel for years now.. How do you do your research for the videos? Your knowledge in Computer science and technology is just Massive! You have a business degree!! How do you get time for all this? Loved this channel all these years 🙏

Great explanation. Suddenly remember the analog black-and-white TV that i had when i was 8 years old. Most important was to direct the antenna in a certain direction. And wooow we had video transmitted through the air.
What an interesting subject!! Thank you for the free class
That beat at the end, really nice!
