SpectraViewII Color Calibration Solution Features and Benefits

Quick and easy measurements. The SpectraViewII system, available for Mac OS and Windows, uses an ultra-sensitive, custom-calibrated NEC/X-rite iOne Display 2 colorimeter to take color measurements of the display screen during calibration. The software analyzes these measurements 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 SpectraViewII, 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 resolution and fidelity of the system is maintained.

10-bit Internal Look Up Tables (LUTs) - Each LCD monitor supported by SpectraViewII features three internal 10-bit LUTs. These tables allow precise adjustments to be made to the display’s tone response curve with minimal reduction to the number of displayable colors. Since the tone response curve correction is stored within the display and not on the host system’s video graphics card LUT, the display can be calibrated on one machine and then used on another and still maintain calibration as long as a digital video signal is used.

Display Data Channel Command Interface (DDC/CI) - SpectraViewII communicates with the monitor using DDC/CI, which is a two-way communications link between the video graphics adapter and display monitor using the standard 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 calibration, 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 display 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 - SpectraViewII will query each calibrated 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 - SpectraViewII 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 user-defined value or set to the maximum the display can achieve. In addition, custom target response curves can be created in addition to presets such as L* and SMPTE.

Network support (Windows only) - SpectraViewII integrates with the NEC NaViSet™ Administrator network software (available separately 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 Display (OSD®) controls for the display monitors can be locked to prevent accidental 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 generated 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.
