1D LUT (1 dimensional look up table) A data structure that translates an input value to an output value. In Display Manager a 1D LUT can be exported to translate from printing density to display drive values.
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 LUT. Also referred to as profiling.
chromaticity Coordinates that specify position in a chromaticity diagram. The coordinates 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 A two dimensional plot of (three dimensional) color space depicting diagram 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.
