Xrite, You have already great solution in i1 Profiler. With the world moving towards iPad I would love to be able to run i1P on my iPad (at least on the iPad3). It would be great to be able to hook up iSis and iO table to iPad 3 and do some profiling. Is this possible? doable? using Apple dock connector or maybe wirelessly using wifi or bluetooth? Licensing could also be resolved by email or something instead of usb dongle. Maybe something like Adobe Creative Cloud subscription instead of standard serial number licensing. I think you should at least look into it. Derek Lambert
Derek - have you tried profiling your iPad with the myPantone application they offer? Perhaps it's a glimpse as to what might come, but I think it'll be a iOS app, not a desktop app. Of course there are apps (like AirDisplay) that let you extend your desktop to your iOS device. Has anyone tried profiling their iOS display through i1Profiler (or similar) with one of these apps? http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/air-display/id368158927?mt=8 Scott Martin www.on-sight.com On May 14, 2012, at 9:37 AM, Derek Lambert wrote:

Scott, I would want this to be iOS, not desktop app. I use AirDisplay but you still need to have a regular computer for that. What I want is to hook up spectro to iPad. I did not try to profile my iPad as I don't consider it color accurate device anyway. I have no need for color accurate iPad at the moment. Just wanted to profile other output devices like printers, projectors, digital cameras etc. Derek On May 14, 2012, at 10:49 AM, Scott Martin wrote:

I see - that is quite different! So would these devices be used directly through the iOS device or eventually on another computer? If the former, then we need to OS to support color management, which it doesn't yet. If the later, why not simply profile through the desktop those devices will be used on? If they're using an analog video card they must be profiled through that video card anyway. So that leaves us with what advantages to an iOS/Android based i1Profiler? I'd eventually like to see bluetooth-like connectively with the i1Pro and press devices. Save some money and leave the LCD off the device and make it an iOS/Android app. How nice would it be to take ambient light and spot measurements with a handheld device without a desktop and see the results graphed out instantly on an iOS device? Fun possibilities that don't justify the development, I'm sure. Scott Martin www.on-sight.com

Why should the device have to workaround limitations of a single portable device family ? Most instruments need power anyway, and having non-replacable batteries is not a nice option in a device that will be around for more than 3 years.

How does that save money ? You need to buy a device running iOS/Android to use it (at typically a comparable cost to the instrument itself), making the whole thing more expensive, fragile and complicated to develop and support. (Something like an iPad is a luxury device - it fits in between a phone and a laptop/desktop computer. It may be nice to have, and work well in certain niches, but it doesn't replace either of the other devices.)

That's a rather different user case (field measurement) to printing test charts and profiling printers and displays. Graeme Gill.
Hi Scott I have in fact profiled a few ipads using i1profiler and Air Display. As far as I can tell it works fine. On the ipad 1 & 2, the gamuts I get appear to correspond to what I am seeing when I move an image from desktop to ipad. On the new ipad the gamut is extremely close to sRGB and that matches what I see visually as well. This article discusses it in more length and if you read the comments you can read about a few other people using Air Display to profile their ipads. Pretty interesting. http://regex.info/blog/2012-03-27/1964 -Todd Shirley On May 14, 2012, at 10:49 AM, Scott Martin wrote:

iPads don't have USB ports. Something running Android with a host mode USB port is a much easier to connect platform. CPU performance and memory capacity could be an issue though, for anything serious (ie. cLut profiles, gamut mapping, etc.). Such portable devices are not really for computation, they are for communication. Why not use a laptop ? (ie. use the right tool for the job). Graeme Gill.

It is possible to connect through Bluetooth or WiFi, there are means to connect USB devices to iOS through such adapters, well-known and field-proven. The simplest way is to have GUI on a portable device and send CGATS via some web form to calculate profiles. This solves licensing problems as well. Should be also taken into account that computational power of mobile devices increase, so it is not wise to rule the idea out based on current state of devices. Ideally spectrophotometers should have wireless interfaces embedded - even when used with notebooks and desktops. Serial-to-wireless chips are peanuts now. -- Iliah Borg ib@pochtar.com
there is rs232 or at least a 5v serial bus on the ipod connector. i thik that is good enuff for the original i1. Edmund On Tue, May 15, 2012 at 1:20 AM, Iliah Borg <ib@pochtar.com> wrote:

The i1 needs USB speed - particularly the original i1 (rev A), which quits transmitting data if you don't keep up with it during a scan. [Perhaps you are getting confused with the Spectrolino ?] Graeme Gill.
