Natural Color

Natural Color Software Program

One of the recent problems in using a computer is that the color of the images printed out by a printer or other images scanned by a scanner or a digital camera are not the same as those shown on the monitor. The Natural Color S/W is the very solution for this problem. It is a color administration system developed by Samsung Electronics in association with Korea Electronics & Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI). This system is available only for Samsung monitors and makes the color of the images on the monitor the same as the printed or scanned images. For more information, refer to Help (F1) in the software program.

How to install the Natural Color software

Insert the CD included with the Samsung monitor into the CD-ROM Drive. Then, the initial screen of the program Natural Color will be executed. Click Natural Color on the initial screen to install the Natural Color software. To install the program manually, insert the CD included with the Samsung monitor into the CDROM Drive, click the Enter D:\color\eng\setup.exe and then press the (If the drive where the CD is inserted is not D:\, enter the applicable drive.)

Overview

What is MagicTune™?

Monitor performance can vary due to the graphics card, host computer lighting conditions and other environmental factors. In order to get the best image on a monitor requires you to adjust it for your unique setting. Unfortunately, the manual controls available to tune the image often prove to be challenging. Proper adjustment (tuning) requires an easy to use program that goes through a step-by-step process to obtain the best overall picture quality.

In most cases even simple adjustments to Brightness, or Contrast require navigation of the multi-level, on-screen display (OSD) menus that are not easy to understand. Furthermore, there is no feedback to assist in correctly setting the controls of the monitor. MagicTune™ is a software utility that guides you through the tuning process with easy to understand instructions and back ground patterns designed for each monitor control. The display settings for each user can be saved, providing an easy way to select display characteristics in a multi-user environme or having a single user have multiple defined presets based on content and ambient lighting.

Basic Functionality

MagicTune™ is a software utility that allows monitor adjustment and color tuning using the Display Data

Channel Command Interface (DDC/CI)

to eliminate the need to use the monitor on-screen disp la y (OS D). MagicTune™ supports Windows™ 98 SE, Me, 2000, XP Home, and XP Professional.

It is recommended using MagicTune™ in Windows™ 2000 or later.

MagicTune™ allows for quick accurate tuning of the display with the ability to easily save and use monitor configurations that are best suited for you.

The Highlight Zone ensures the clear and sharp display of animated multimedia or photo images by enhancing the brightness of a certain area on the screen.

Highlight Zone III 3.5 features a combination of the circuitry and the program built on the proprietary technology of SEC.

This offers an easy-to-use interface that highlights the video-playing portion of your multimedia program by automatically detecting and highlight the desired area by dragging.

The Highlight Zone provides optimal display of moving pictures. So, text may appear blurry in the Highlight Zone.

1. When the Highlight program is running, the monitor automatically detects the video-playing portion of your multimedia program and activates the Highlight Zone feature. No selection is necessary.

Major multimedia programs: Windows Media Player, RealPlayer 8.0, video players on the broadcasters¡¯ websites, etc. However, Automatic Detect may not work with a DVD player. (In this case, change the setting to Manual Detect mode to create a Highlight Zone.) Select 'Off' in Auto Detect menu when you wish to deactivate the Automatic Detect feature. Since this disables the Auto Detect capability of the monitor, the monitor does not automatically create a Highlight Zone. (When you first install the program, Automatic Detect is set to 'On'.)

Note 1 : When OSD is selected while the Auto Detect is running, Highlight Zone turns off temporarily not to disturb adjustment of display conditions

such as bri

The Highlight Zone function remembers the variables of the selected areas in Automatic and Manual Detect modes, respectively.

1. If the window selected as a Highlight Zone is moved or its size changed, the Highlight Zone changes accordingly.

2. If an un-selected window overlaps the window selected as a Highlight Zone, the Highlight Zone of the selected window turns off. However, it does not turn off the Zone completely and only makes the window shift to standby mode while the settings are saved. When the window is reactivated, the Highlight Zone turns on again with the settings unchanged.

3. If another un-overlapped window beside one with a Highlight Zone is selected as a Highlight Zone, Highlight Zone function is activated for the two separate windows simultaneously. (Up to eight windows can be selected as a Highlight Zone and if another window is selected as a Highlight Zone, the Highlight Zone of the previous windows turns off.) When the Highlight Zone is created using the Drag function, the Zone functions independently of the above since it uses a random portion of the screen instead of a particular window.

Note 1 : How to cancel the saved variables of a selected window.

1) When a window selected in Automatic Detect mode is replaced with another window also selected in Automatic Detect mode, the last selection is saved, and the Highlight Zone function is de-activated for the previous windows.

2) In Manual Detect mode, only the window (or the frame window) created last is saved, and the Highlight Zone function is de-activated for the

previous windows. The Highlight Zone is de-selected when the program used to create the selected window is closed. The variables of the Highlight Zone created using the Drag function are not saved.

Note 2 : The changes saved under Picture Setting of the Highlight Zone menu remain effective even after the program is closed using Exit Program.

The next time you start the Highlight Zone program, the settings are shown as previously saved.
