    Hello,

    I have a question to ask the seasoned and knowledgeable calibrators. What would be expected to be in a calibrators tool box besides calibration gears such as a Q780, EyeOne pro, EyeOne display, tripod and laptop?

    Regards

    Holden

    Depends on if you plan on calibrating any CRTs or just fixed pixel displays.

    In addition to a nice long HDMI cable (I use a 10 meter, though the last 5 meters is only used maybe 2% of the time), I carry an HDMI coupler. It is a little passive thing with an HDMI female connection on each end. It allows me to just unplug the HDMI cable from their cable box or sat receiver and join my cable to it. Then I am assured my generator is taking the exact same signal path as their source, and I don’t have to reach behind the TV to plug in my HDMI cable.
    I also carry a 5 meter USB repeater extension cable, handy for the C6 or i1D3, and a small roll of blue painter’s masking tape.
    Also, an LED headlamp and small flashlight are necessities.

    My most used tool is a small digital camera….I use this to record settings before and after.

    i carry lots of adapters….bnc to rca (rarely used), USB extension cables (3 of these), serial cable, null modem serial cable, extension serial cable, various serial port adapters and extenders.

    I also carry a IR remote extender (2 small pyramid looking things) from Radio Shack. This tool has been extremely valuable for gear racks that are in a different room.

    Also a few extra batteries, in case the clients remote control dies or if my accupel remote dies.

    I also carry a 2nd laptop.
