CHICAGO – April 30, 2014 – NEC Display Solutions of America, a leading provider of
commercial LCD display and projector solutions, announced Linux versions today of its

SpectraView

color-critical professions.

The SpectraViewII calibration software provides automatic monitor color calibration and
profiling functions for supported NEC display monitor models. It uses a closed-loop
process of measurements leveraging external sensors to make adjustments to a
monitor’s lookup tables (LUTs) that provide for accurate, stable and repeatable
calibration.

MultiProfiler was designed as a companion to NEC’s MultiSync PA and P Series
professional displays and provides management of the technology in these models
through an easy-to-use application, including complete control of the built-in Picture
Mode presets and the ability to load ICC color profiles into the presets. MultiProfiler also
enables keyboard shortcuts for common display functions like changing picture modes

“Animators, movie studio professionals, graphic designers and desktop power users
working in Linux now have access to the same color-critical and time saving tools as
their colleagues using Apple’s Mac OS or Microsoft Windows,” said Art Marshall,
Product Manager for Professional Desktop and Medical Displays at NEC Display
Solutions. “SpectraView and MultiProfiler for Linux give them the color accuracy, control
and versatility to drive productivity and better business results.”

"Linux support in the SpectraView

software is a distinct advantage for us,” said Terry

Bates, Director of Technology at Bron Studios, a British Columbia-based company
focused on the development, production and exploitation of original live-action and
animated motion pictures and series television. “Having native support on our primary
development platform simplifies the process of calibration and conformance. The
addition of support for our Photo Research PR-655 has further simplified our calibration
procedure into a single process and reduced the hands-on time required.”

The MultiSync PA Series features a custom-designed color processor called the
SpectraView Engine. The sophisticated processor utilizes internal luminance,
temperature and time monitoring of the display as well as individual characterization and
calibration of each unit during production to deliver high levels of color control, accuracy
and stability.

The wide color gamut and high-contrast ratio LCD panels used on these monitors,
coupled with the SpectraView Engine, accurately emulate color spaces like AdobeRGB,
DCI, REC 709, sRGB, DICOM as well as fully customizable color gamuts and tone
response curves (TRCs).

Several additional professional grade features also have been added to SpectraView.
PhotoResearch spectroradiometers can now be used for calibration, which is ideal for
users who require the ultimate in color accuracy by using these lab grade instruments. In
addition, these sensors can be used to update the factory calibration data for newer
MultiSync PA Series displays. Moreover, SpectraView now supports calibration to
BT.1886, which has been adopted by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU)
as recommended for flat panels used in HDTV studio production.
