ANAHEIM, CA - EHX EXPO - November 9, 2005 - Datacolor, an internationally known name
in color technology, introduces its latest upgrade and most exciting innovation in
professional color calibration. ColorFacts Professional 6.0 is on display in
Booth No. 411 at the Electronic House Expo (EHX) the most comprehensive custom
electronic expo that runs from November 9 - 11 at the Anaheim Convention Center
(http://www.ehxweb.com/).

Datacolor ColorFacts Professional 6.0 now ships with the new and improved Spyder2T
colorimeter, and offers open support for over a dozen other meters and direct
integration with popular signal generators. One of the most innovative additions to
this product is a brand-new way of performing display device calibrations. As an
onscreen program, the ColorFacts C3 remotely delivers feature-rich access far beyond
raw control of the display as well as direct integration with the ColorFacts
application itself. The powerful new remote access feature of ColorFacts is designed
for safety, as well; it prevents end users from accessing areas of the display
intended for professionals only.

The custom electronic professional- installer, integrator, dealer, and retailer will
have the opportunity to view the latest color calibration designed for them at EHX
this year. The newest upgrade, ColorFacts Professional 6.0, is an integrated
hardware and software bundle designed to calibrate and correct color on plasma, LCD,
front projectors and wide screen TV's (HDTV) for video images.

"ColorFacts Professional has been developed specifically for high-end home theater
custom design and installation specialists", states Mark Hunter, technology director
for Datacolor Home Theatre Products. EHX attendees can see a demonstration of the
product at Booth No. 411 and receive a 25% discount when ordered by November 30,
2005.

A Windows® based application, Datacolor ColorFacts Professional's new 6.0 color
calibration software analyzes and optimizes the performance of video display
systems, rear projection TVs, projectors, plasma displays and direct-view
televisions. ColorFacts technology is ideal for consumers who demand
professional-level image quality. With large-screen display products increasingly
being installed both for business and home theater, more users are looking to get
the most out of their investments. Calibration is an important business opportunity
for knowledgeable AV contractors, as well as custom design/installation specialists
and video calibration professionals.

EHX attendees may explore the many benefits-rich aspects of the newly upgraded
ColorFacts Professional, including how to improve the accuracy of a displayed image
quickly and easily. This is achieved by overlaying the system's analyzed display
characteristics right on the screen. ColorFacts Professional 6.0 with the Spyder2
colorimeter, and easy-mounting solutions provide everything necessary for
comprehensive display analysis of emissive display screens.

Where ColorFacts really distinguishes itself - and leverages the power of a general
computer - is in the world of wizards that walk you through the process of
calibrating and optimizing displays. A couple of mouse clicks sets up specific test
parameters and puts ColorFacts to work measuring information for brightness
uniformity, gray scale, contrast, or primary and secondary colors. There is also a
set-up wizard for taking a " dark reading" to properly set up a meter and to isolate
any residual electric charges. Another wizard generates reports. There is even a
built-in database creator.

Integration with a wide range of hardware devices is now offered with the latest
version of ColorFacts Professional 6.0 as well as several innovative new features.
Exclusive features include: video wall and command/control center calibration
assistance; direct-signal generator integration; assistance in calibrating digital
displays based on DLP and LCoS technologies; Internet integrations; new color
spaces; and more.

"We are continually working with our customers to find out what tools they are
looking for in the video calibration space," said Basak Atilgan, Datacolor Home
Theater product manager. "We listen to our customers, supplying more advanced
tools as needed. For example, the quickly growing DLP and LCoS digital display
markets require tools that can perform detailed display device analyses. The
acquisition of Milori is a good example of our customer response in this area. The
addition of key specialists, like Milori founder Mark Hunter, has allowed us to
serve this broadening market well with exceptional color solutions."

Jeff Sauer from Sound & Video Contractor Magazine summarizes the benefits of this
product best: "ColorFacts Professional is significantly less expensive than its
competition, with software that is easier to use and arguably more powerful. For the
price/ performance, though, it's hard to turn away from the bright hues of
ColorFacts," he says.



For a limited time EHX attendees can also receive FREE with every purchase of
ColorFacts Professional 6.0 the revolutionary new product from Datacolor - SpyderTV.
