Xencelabs has launched the Xencelabs Pen Display 24+, featuring built-in Calman Ready color calibration technology. This unique feature ensures accurate colors and improves workflow for professionals in fields like photography, illustration, animation, visual effects, filming, gaming, industrial design, and other areas where color precision is essential.
To meet the demand for color accuracy in the digital age, the Pen Display 24+ prioritizes color management for creative professionals. In partnership with Portrait Displays, the built-in Calman Ready solution allows for hardware-level calibration directly on the display. By storing calibration data (e.g., LUTs) on-device, artists achieve consistent, Hollywood-grade color fidelity across devices and workflows.
The color calibration process is streamlined with automatic features: users connect a Portrait Display C6 HDR5000 or compatible colorimeter to Calman Professional software, bypassing complex OS-level adjustments to ensure true-to-life colors that meet standards like Adobe RGB, DCI-P3, Rec. 709, Rec. 2020, and sRGB. Additionally, the Pen Display 24+ supports Pantone-validated palettes and SkinTone-certified realism, making it a vital tool for professional creators in film studios, streaming giants, and design firms worldwide.
The Pen Display 24 series provide thoughtful design and experience for every aspect of the creative journey:
- Pen-on-Paper Feel: The Super AG Etching glass surface provides optimal tooth, mimicking paper texture while eliminating glare and reflections, even under bright studio lights.
- Finely Tuned Pressure Curve: Developed with the feedback of 100+ professional artists, the finely tuned pressure curve (8,192 levels, 3g initial activation) captures nuances from delicate strokes to bold lines. Two included pens, the 3 Button Pen + Eraser v2 and Thin Pen + Eraser v2, offer customizable shortcuts and Felt and Standard nibs for tactile versatility. They are also compatible with Xencelabs’ v2 Pen Tablet Series.
- 4K UHD Visual Immersion: A 23.8-inch 4K display (3840×2160) renders over 1.07 billion colors with 99% Adobe RGB, 93% DCI-P3, and 99% sRGB coverage.
- Remote Work Flexibility: Support for HP Anyware (Windows Only) and Parsec enables secure remote workflows, ideal for teams working across town and across the globe.
The Pen Display 24+ prioritizes uninterrupted creativity with a detail-oriented, ergonomic workflow:
- Quick Keys Remote: The Quick Keys shortcut remote has an OLED screen and offers up to 44 application-specific shortcuts (8 keys × 5 sets + 4 dial modes), auto-switching between software like Photoshop and ZBrush.
- Virtual Tablet Mode: Control multiple monitors/displays as one seamless canvas using just the pen. Draw, drag, and interact across screens effortlessly. Customize overlay color, transparency, size, and position to perfectly fit different software workspaces, delivering a smarter, more personalized workflow.
- Silent, Fanless Design: With a fanless design and high-conductivity metal backplate, the Pen Display 24+ stays cool to the touch while remaining virtually silent, so you can stay focused on creation.
- Ergonomic Versatility: The included Tilt Stand (16°–72°) supports one-handed adjustments, while the optional Multi-Axis Stand enables rotation and positioning on the edge of the desk with Off-the-Desk Mode.
Every Pen Display 24+ comes with two v2 Pens, Quick Keys remote, Tilt Stand, Pen Case, Bluetooth dongle, nibs, drawing glove, cleaning cloth, and all necessary cables, so you won’t need to buy extra accessories. It also features a Kensington MicroSaver 2.0 Lock Slot on the Pen Display and a Kensington NANO Security Slot on the Quick Keys remote for added theft protection.
