SpectraViewII Color Calibration Solution Features and Benefits
How it works
The SpectraViewII system uses the customized NEC
MDSVSENSOR3 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. All 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. Since
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 and the display remains calibrated for all digital
video inputs.
Multiple calibration targets
Dierent monitor calibrations can be instantly loaded,
allowing quick and easy switching between dierent
calibration settings without the need to re-calibrate the
display. These calibration targets contain many settings,
including luminance, contrast ratio, color gamuts and
gamma curves. 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 that includes
a wealth of information about the display such as the
measured color gamut, grayscale color tracking, Delta-E
and luminance values as well as the model name, serial
number and the total hours of use.
Monitor profiling
After calibration, the display is automatically profiled and
highly accurate ICC/ColorSync color profiles are generated
and automatically registered with the computer’s color
management system.
Colorimeter function
The software features a colorimeter function, which allows
direct measurements to be taken by the color sensor and
the results displayed in a variety of dierent formats.

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.
