Datacolor and Realtime Technology (RTT) Collaborate to Improve Color Efficiencies in Product Design Processes.Combining Datacolor's Unique Color Management Technology with RTT's Leading Virtual Reality Solutions Ensures Precise and Consistent Color Definitions for Complex Product Development Processes in Global Supply Chains LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J. -- Datacolor, a global leader in digital color management technology, today announced a collaborative agreement with Realtime Technology (RTT RTT - Round-Trip Time ) to help improve the efficiency of color not of the white race; - commonly meaning, esp. in the United States, of negro blood, pure or mixed.

Combining RTT's highly advanced 3-D visualization software -- used by industrial designers in the automotive, aviation and consumer goods consumer goods Any tangible commodity purchased by households to satisfy their wants and needs. Consumer goods may be durable or nondurable. Durable goods (e.g., autos, furniture, and appliances) have a significant life span, often defined as three years or more, and markets -- with Datacolor's unique true-color-on-screen representation technology, colors developed in a virtual environment can consistently and accurately be translated to reality in the form of animated film sequences, print ads, packaging, and other tangible means. Additionally, the accurate conversion of designer's inspiration into precise color targets for the supply chain improves the efficiency and accuracy within the color development and manufacturing process. Based on Datacolor's ENVISION([TM]) technology, and RTT's high-end visualization software RTT DeltaGen, the combined development efforts will lead to several new products in the future. Datacolor ENVISION, a precise, on-screen on·screen or on-screen adj. & adv. 1. As shown on a movie, television, or display screen. 2. Within public view; in public. color simulation software Simulation software is based on the process of imitating a real phenomenon with a set of mathematical formulas. It is, essentially, a program that allows the user to observe an operation through simulation without actually running the program. which provides true-color-on-screen representation of samples, combined with the superior, detailed and realistic image and texture simulation of RTT DeltaGen, will produce life-like product simulations as a substitute for physical samples. The ability to eliminate physical color samples while streamlining color development processes will save time and money through efficiencies in the color management process. "By utilizing Datacolor's unique monitor calibration and true-color-on-screen technology, the accuracy and correctness of color representation in RTT DeltaGen is significantly improved" explains Ludwig A. Fuchs, Managing Director and co-owner, Real-Time Technology. "Our virtual reality solutions benefit from a major step towards precise reality. In the future, colors created by designers using RTT DeltaGen will be represented as real as possible. This gives designers the distinct advantage of sharing their work accurately and effectively from anywhere in the world," added Mr. Fuchs. "Today, global supply chains are facing a gap between the designer's color definition and the supplier's translation of that definition into a real product," says Albert Busch, Vice President, Industrial Division at Datacolor. "Together with RTT, we will be able to eliminate this major road block in the color development process. RTT's and Datacolor's products will link seamlessly to ensure a digital workflow In print publishing, using the computer to lay out text and illustrations prior to creating film negatives for every page or going directly to plate. Prior to digital workflow, the typesetting and pre-press stages were far more time consuming and labor-intensive. between virtual design and the final product that is not available anywhere else in the marketplace," continued Mr. Busch. "This will allow designers to effectively share virtual designs with suppliers that can be translated to real-time output for commercial use with a level of accuracy that is time efficient and cost effective." While the output of designs created by RTT DeltaGen will match the color renditions intended by the designer, viewing the color pallet on a monitor requires the recipient to properly calibrate To adjust or bring into balance. Scanners, CRTs and similar peripherals may require periodic adjustment. Unlike digital devices, the electronic components within these analog devices may change from their original specification. See color calibration and tweak. their monitor for accurate viewing. "Periodic calibration of monitors is strongly recommended for anyone who creates or views artwork or photographs using a computer monitor to ensure an accurate depiction of the artist's original vision" says Eric Alho, Product Manager of Datacolor. "Based on the strong recognition of calibration devices from our SPYDER3[TM] brand in consumer markets, we're entering into industrial applications where a faulty color representation on screen has even higher impacts on cost and product quality. Together, with RTT, we have developed a Product Roadmap that will lead to several new color management solutions where RTT and Datacolor currently conduct business."
