While Windows tablet PCs have generally not been on my radar when it comes to AV-related topics, a press release that arrived in my inbox today got my attention. The Eve V is a fully crowdsourced product, not just the funding for development but also its actual design. Everything about it is the result of customer input. The feature that's of interest to color geeks is that each Eve V will ship from the factory with a custom CalMan calibration.
CalMan Client 3 comes preinstalled on each Eve V and handles the corrections necessary for the display to show accurate colors. How accurate? According to Martin Fishman, co-CEO of Portrait Displays "Referencing delta E, the industry-standard measure of color error, CalMAN can correct each Eve V so that the human eye can see no color error."
The Eve V is akin to Microsoft's Surface Tablet PC in terms of form factor. But interestingly, this crowdsourced device is available in five configurations, each of which costs considerably less than an equivalent Surface. And despite that, the Eve V comes with the factory color calibration!
It's worth noting that you don't have to purchase a Eve V to enjoy accurate color on your laptop or tablet PC. CalMan sells all the tools you need to do it yourself, or you could have a calibration pro do it for you. But either of those options is bound to be costly and requires extra effort.
"CalMan is the same software used by the largest broadcasters, filmmakers, and post-production houses to ensure accuracy in reference monitors…" said Eve CEO Konstantinos Karatsevidis. "That is why we partnered with Portrait Displays, the world leader in color accuracy, to ensure that each Eve V is made as color-accurate as possible."
The five models, specs and pricing are as follows:
