Different display technologies have different Spectral Power Distributions. I suspect that one reason you aren't finding much joy with the Spyder colorimeter may be that the Spyder colorimeters are tri-stimulus devices and need to be profiled for different display types. One big hint would be that it would be really helpful if you can read/write French. I'd post a link but I suppose that could be seen as bad form as they might be seen as a competitor to this site. The acronym HCFR is for Home Cinema FRance.

Most people stopped using it years ago and I don't think whoever wrote the software still supports it (I may be wrong). I wrote a guide for using the software way back in 2008 when it was popular as I found it confusing to use. We do not officially do support for HCFR if that's what you mean. From greyscale calibration to acoustical treatments and everything in-between!" This is our Audio & Video calibration forum, description is: "Techniques and procedures used to calibrate your home theater. The help (install colorimeter) give some strange stuff towards argyll.

Strange, the simple first question was: It is required to use Original (Vendor) driver or shall the (in HCFR) included drivers do the work. My fault, I thought this is the forum for HCFR. Unless you compare to it known accurate / NIST certified meter, you have no idea if it's accurate.

I'm not sure how to get this to work as we stopped using that software years ago. Your best bet is to ask the people who support HCFR for support on their software with the meter you want to use. I am not sure what is expected behaviour.ĭid you expect the installation of the original driver?Īnyhow both option fail - the original doesn't show the device in HCFR, the included one is not to install.īTW: The Spyder3 might not be new or perfect, but works well at a friend (get it for the week) I would expect that I can select the Spyder.

If I install the original driver then HCFR just offers me a simulated sensor.

So this driver is meant to be "3rd party driver" - whyever. The inf file doesnt contain digital sign. Windows found a driver for this device, but there was a problem while installing. I want to install the driver that is included in HCFR. Yes, they've always been cheaper but what's the point if they're inaccurate / problematic? As the meter ages and the filter degrades they get even worse. Everything before that is too problematic and inaccurate. I've never recommended Spyder meters (other than the newest SpyderX). I would suggest getting the meter working correctly with the included drivers first. If you're wanting to use third party drivers however, they wouldn't be able to help with that. Your issue is with DataColor Spyder hardware so I'd suggest reaching out to them for help. I don't understand why you want to use a third party driver. I'm afraid I don't understand the issue you're having. I'm assuming you bought the Spyder3 used as it's been discontinued for years. The Sypder3 is even older than the Spyder5 so it will likely have drifted much farther and be less accurate than the Spyder5 since it's older. Nevertheless, devicemanger recognised it properly as Datacoloer Spyder3 but cannot load driver.Īnd the argyll/hcfr driver can't be loaded too (see above for error message). No idea whether on this have been ever installed the Datacolor software - now it is not. Once I used a Spyder5 and now a Spyder 3 (because of the crappy results with Spyder 5).

WHat 3rd party driver are you using and why? What Spyder are you using? Here you say "Spyder 3" but in other emails you were asking about "Spyder 5". Someone has an idea how to handle that USB stuff well? I tried to remove and de-install /remove the device, but after plugin to USB same as above happens.Īs (datacolor) driver is not loaded I don't know where it is and how to wipe from system (if it ever there). I also tried to manually install the argyll driver (Argyll Spider) - it fails because of it is from a 3rd vendor and not signed (or similar). Looking into device manager I see a yellow triangle with a "!" in it - driver not loaded (error 28) (Datacolor Spyder). Win10 says (after plug in), Spyder 3 is recognised and after a while "device is ready".
