How it Works
C ALIBRATING YOUR MONITOR
This feature is only available in the Production Edition and VISION2 HD
System Edition.
The KODAK Display Manager System is a monitor calibration utility within the
Look Manager System that allows you to maintain a consistent look across all
monitors. Everyone who views the looks you create should use a monitor that
has been calibrated to the same specifications.
We recommend that you use the Display Manager System to calibrate and
characterize your display:
Before the start of a new project
If the computer goes into sleep mode or screen saver mode
Whenever you turn on the computer or monitor
If the monitor has been jarred or moved
(CRT/LCD monitors) Roughly every 6 to 8 hours; a minimum of once per
day
(HD/SD video) Once a day
(Digital projectors) Once a week
IMPORTANT
Before calibrating, press F4 and click the Monitor tab to make sure you have
selected the correct type of monitor.
The Display Manager System uses an enable cable to transfer data to and
from the computer and monitor. A sensor, which you attach to your monitor,
reads color and gray patches. Run a calibration and then a characterization
using the sensor. To ensure accuracy, run a verification to measure the quality
of your system setup and the print film match.
Calibration
During automatic calibration, information gathered from the sensor is
transferred to the monitor via the enable cable. Adjustments are automatically
made to the monitor contrast, brightness, and individual RGB biases and
gains via the enable cable, based on information gathered by the sensor.
The first time you initiate automatic calibration, the system prompts you to
perform a monitor evaluation to determine if your monitor is capable of being
calibrated.
