56 | NEC SPECTRAVIEW II - USER'S GUIDE
Chapter
9
Many of the MultiSync monitors feature a custom-designed color processor called the SpectraView Engine. This
sophisticated processor, combined with internal luminance, temperature and time monitoring of the monitor, and
individual characterization and calibration of each unit during production, results in an unparalleled level of color control,
accuracy and stability.
Refer to the "SpectraView Engine" column in the "Features by Model" tables on page 58 and page 60 for all model
specific functionality.
When SpectraView II is used to calibrate these models:
• The 5
of the 5 selectable Picture Modes is always automatically selected and used to store the calibration
th
made by SpectraView II.
• The Custom 3 memory location is always used to store the calibration. This location will be automatically
named SpectraViewII.
• The Color Gamut of the display can be adjusted by configuring the Target and re-calibrating.
• The SpectraView II software can be used together with the NEC MultiProfiler software. When MultiProfiler
is used with SpectraView II, the ICC/ColorSync profile generated by SpectraView will always be activated by
MultiProfiler when the Picture Mode calibrated by SpectraView II is selected. For all other Picture Modes, the
ICC/ColorSync profiles generated by MultiProfiler will be used.
• The number of Calibration and Profile steps (set in the Preferences) does not increase or decrease the
accuracy of the grayscale calibration or ICC/ColorSync profile when calibrating the display. This is because the
monitor's internal calibration is used.
• Communications with the display can be via either DDC/CI or USB. To use USB, connect a USB cable
between the host PC and one of the USB inputs on the display. Make sure the correct USB input is selected on
the OSD, or using the MultiProfiler application. On the macOS version of SpectraView II the USB connection will
automatically be used when detected. On the Windows and Linux versions the USB connection can be manually
selected using the Display Configuration dialog.
• Models that support the Update Internal Calibration function described on page 38. (Refer to the "Update
Internal Calibration" column in the "Features by Model" tables on page 58 and page 60 for the specific
capabilities of each display model.)
The MultiProfiler software is available for free from NEC at www.necdisplay.com/multiprofiler.
