Target Settings; Calibration - NEC SpectraView II Guia Del Usuario

13 | NEC SPECTRAVIEW II - USER'S GUIDE

Target Settings

The Target Settings group shows the current calibration Target parameters for the currently selected display monitor.
The Target Settings can be modified, saved and loaded using the Edit, Open and Save buttons.
The Target listbox shows all of the available Targets. When the display has been calibrated to a particular Target, a
green check mark appears next to the Target name, indicating that the calibration is available. Different calibrations can
be automatically restored by selecting different Targets that have been calibrated. This makes it easy to quickly change
between different calibrated Target settings. The green check mark will change to yellow once the calibration for that
Target has passed the recommended recalibration time, indicating it is time to recalibrate that particular Target.
White Point shows the Target White Point.
Gamma shows the Target gamma or Tone Response Curve type.
Intensity shows the Target display intensity value.
Contrast Ratio shows the Target contrast ratio.
Color Gamut shows the Target color gamut for display models that support gamut adjustment. This will be grayed out
if the currently selected display does not support color gamut adjustment.

Calibration

The Calibration group shows the current calibration status of the currently selected display monitor and is where the
monitor calibration process is started.
The display monitor can be calibrated to the current Target Settings by clicking the Calibrate button.
Note:
The Calibrate button will be disabled if either no supported color sensor or display monitor was detected. See the chapter
"Troubleshooting" on page 52 for more information.
Status shows the current calibration status of the display monitor, either Calibrated, Uncalibrated, or Calibration Off.
Last shows the date and time that the display monitor was last calibrated.
Next Due shows the number of days until the display is next due for recalibration, or the number of days past when it
was last due for recalibration. This is based on the date of last calibration, and the Recalibration Reminder Period in
the Preferences dialog.
If the display is not currently in a calibrated state the Calibration On checkbox will be unchecked. If the monitor
OSD controls are locked using the Lock OSD Controls option in the Preferences dialog, the OSD controls will be
automatically unlocked when the Calibration On checkbox is cleared. Selecting the checkbox will automatically re-
configure the display monitor to its previously calibrated state.
The Open button will open the Previous Monitor Calibration dialog which shows all of the previous calibrations that
have been performed. It is possible to view the detailed results of each calibration, as well as manually selecting a
previous calibration to load. Loading a previous Monitor Calibration will automatically configure the display and re-
generate the ICC/ColorSync profile, if one was generated when the calibration was performed. This feature can be
used to manually switch between different monitor calibrations with different Target settings, or to restore a particular
calibration.
Note:
The Monitor Calibrations are specific to each individual display monitor and can not be used to load the calibrated
settings of one display monitor into another, even if they are the same model. This is because of the individual tolerances
and characteristics of each display monitor.
