3D LUT
(3 dimensional look up table) A mathematical description of colors 
with red, green, and blue on the x, y, and z axis, respectively, 
forming a cube. The Display Manager System creates 3D LUTS 
based on the characterization of your display. You can export 3D 
LUTs for use by supported imaging products.
bias
A monitor setting that determines the electrical current to the 
monitor.
black point
The darkest color that a display device can display. Not necessarily 
true black.
brightness
The measurement of both the saturation and luminance of a color.
calibration
The process of adjusting the monitor’s white and black points as 
close as possible to aim points. During automatic calibration in the 
Display Manager System, these adjustments are done via the 
enable cable. During manual calibration, the user makes the 
adjustments from the monitor controls. Calibration is a foundation 
for creating a profile of the display. 
characterization
The measurement of the color characteristics of a display. This 
results in the creation of a .chr file that describes how the device 
displays colors. The Display Manager System Viewer uses this file 
to create a 3D LUT. Also referred to as profiling.
chromaticity 
coordinates
Coordinates that specify position in a chromaticity diagram. The 
chromaticity coordinates of a stimulus are derived from its 
tristimulus values by taking the ratio of each of the tristimulus 
values to their sum; i.e. x=X/X+Y+Z, y=Y/X+Y+Z, where x and y 
are the chromaticity coordinates and X,Y, and Z the tristimulus 
values.
chromaticity 
diagram 
A two dimensional plot of (three dimensional) color space depicting 
the (three dimensional) relationship among colors perceived by the 
normal human visual system. This plot most commonly includes a 
"horseshoe" which defines the spectral locus (the range of colors 
visible to the human observer). Colors are indicated on the plot by 
x, y chromaticity coordinates which correlate to color attributes. 
CIELab
A device independent color space that defines colors according to 
lightness (L), redness/greenness (a), and yellowness/blueness (b). 
color gamut 
See gamut.
