In their own words
ColourSpace
ColourSpace is display calibration and colour management software for professional film, post-production, broadcast, medical, Pro AV, and home cinema work. It profiles display performance and uses those measurements to generate calibration LUTs. Interactive volumetric 3D graphs help assess measured colour points and their errors; higher license levels support native LUT generation at 1024³ and beyond. The maker lists integrations with displays and video systems including ASUS ProArt, EIZO, BenQ, LG TVs, AJA ColorBox, Lumagen Radiance, and madVR Envy. ColourSpace is a native Windows x64 application. The maker says Mac use is possible through full Windows emulation and describes a native macOS version as in development. ColourSpace ZRO is free for manual calibration and verification, but has no LUT capability, volumetric graphs, or calibration reports. Standard licenses cover one PC, require internet access for activation and periodic checks, and can be moved through up to five deactivation and activation cycles. Pricing is listed from £125.
