Color Control Systems

These options provide manual access to certain settings that influence the colorimetric behavior of your display. If you are per- forming color-critical work, LaCie recommends that you not manually modify the settings of these functions, as your LaCie blue eye pro calibration software takes care of this precisely and automatically in accordance to your desired color settings. Modifying any of these settings manually would significantly disturb the accuracy of the colors you display and undermine the benefits of your color-managed environment.

Color Control Systems: Seven color presets select the desired color setting (sRGB, NATIVE and PROGRAMMABLE

color presets are standard and cannot be changed). Color temperature increases or decreases, in each preset. Please do not modify manually if you are performing color-critical work.

R,Y,G,C,B,M,S: Increases or decreases Red, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, Magenta and Saturation depending upon which is selected. The change in color will appear on screen and the direction (increase or decrease) will be shown by the color bars. Please do not modify manually if you are performing color-critical work.

NATIVE: Original color presented by the LCD panel that is unadjustable.

PROGRAMMABLE: This mode is automatically activated by the LaCie blue eye pro calibration software to perform hardware calibration of the display.
