Description

The LMK 6 color is TechnoTeam's color measurement camera and used in many ways as a standalone measuring device. It is designed to be compact and lightweight and can be used in almost any color measurement application. As it is one of TechnoTeam's core products it is also used in our other camera based measurement systems.

The system is currently available in three different basic models with different sensor sizes. Equipped with a color filter wheel, with which measurements of color and brightness can be evaluated according to human brightness perception (acc. to CIE 1931 XYZ 2° standard observer).

Spectral matching Matched to the V(λ) luminance function for luminance measurement with a full-glass filter
Metrological specification V(λ) [ f1' < 3 % ]2
X(λ) [f1,E' < 4.5 %]3; Y(λ) [f1' < 2.5 %]3; Z(λ) [f1,E' < 6 %]3
Measuring quantity

Luminance: L (cd/m²)
Chromaticity coordinates for supported color spaces:
RGB, sRGB, EBU-RGB, User-RGB, XYZ, Lxy, Luv, Lu‘v‘, L*u*v*, C*h*s*uv , L*a*b*, L*C*h*ab , HSV, HSI, WST4, LWS, Lrg
(further measuring quantities can optionally be defined via scaling factors)

Measuring range Integration/exposure time from 100 μs to 15 s
1 ms ≈ max. 10,000 cd/m²
3 s ≈ max. 3.3 cd/m²
The detection limit4 (f3,0) for all integration/exposure times is about 0.04 % relative to the given maximum luminance value.
Higher luminance can be measured using optional neutral density filters.
Calibration uncertainty fix focused lenses ∆L [ < 2 % ]
