Unparalleled display performance for your

COLOR-CRITICAL

applications.

Designed for professionals with color critical

applications, the SpectraView

Color Calibration

Solution combines award-winning NEC Display

Solutions LCD monitor technology with a color

measurement sensor and sophisticated software.

The result is a highly accurate, reliable, repeat-

able and feature-rich display calibration and

profiling solution.

Quick and easy measurements. The SpectraView

system uses the Eye-One Display 2, a colorimeter

manufactured by GretagMacbeth, to take color

measurements of the display screen during

calibration. The software analyzes these measure-

ments and sends color adjustment commands

directly to the display monitor. This means that

color adjustments are made in the monitor rather

than in the video graphics adapter, resulting in

full use of the number of colors available on the

graphics adapter and a much brighter image with

the maximum possible color gamut. With Spec-

traView

, the video graphics adapter is not used

at all to make any gamma or tone response curve

corrections to the display, so the full color resolu-

tion and fidelity of the system is maintained.

10-bit internal look-up tables (LUTs) - Each LCD monitor supported

by SpectraView

features three internal 10-bit LUTs. These tables

allow very precise adjustments to be made to the display’s tone

response curve without reducing the number of displayable colors.

Display Data Channel Command Interface (DDC/CI) - SpectraView

communicates with the monitors using DDC/CI, which is a two-way

communications link between the video graphics adapter and

display monitor using the normal video signal cable. No extra cables

are necessary. All adjustments to the monitor settings are done

automatically using this communications link.

Multiple calibration sets - Different monitor calibrations can

be instantly loaded, allowing quick and easy switching between

different calibration settings without the need to re-calibrate the

display. Each time a calibration set is loaded, the necessary monitor

settings and ICC/ColorSync profiles are automatically updated.

Calibrated display information - At the end of each monitor cali-

bration, an information window is displayed, which shows the results

of the calibration and includes a wealth of information about the

display such as the measured color gamut, grayscale color tracking,

Delta-E and luminance values. Additional information about the dis-

play monitor such as the model name, serial number and the total

number of hours that it has been in use are also displayed.

Calibration status validation - SpectraView

will query each cali-

brated monitor to see if any controls have changed since the last

calibration. If anything has changed, the previous calibrated state

can be restored automatically.

Application flexibility - SpectraView

provides many features and

options that make it flexible enough to be used in a large variety of

applications, including full DICOM support for medical imaging. The

display luminance can be adjusted to either a specific value or to

the maximum possible that the display can achieve.

Network support (Windows only) - SpectraView

integrates with

the NEC NaViSet

Administrator network software (available sepa-

rately from your NEC representative) to provide remote network

access and monitoring of display monitors. NaViSet Administrator

is able to read, display and log the current calibration settings

and status of displays on an existing network (LAN). This feature is

particularly useful for large installations where central monitoring

and asset management is needed.

Monitor locking - Once calibrated, the On Screen Manager (OSM)

controls for the display monitors can be locked to prevent acciden-

tal or unauthorized adjustment, which may invalidate the calibrated

state of the monitor.

Monitor profiling - After calibration, the display is automatically

profiled and highly accurate ICC/ColorSync color profiles are gener-

ated and automatically registered with the color management

system. These profiles use the Bradford Chromaticity Adaptation

matrix.

Colorimeter function - The software features a colorimeter func-

tion, which allows direct measurements to be taken by the color

sensor and the results displayed in a variety of different formats.
