SelfCalibration

This product is equipped with a built-in calibration sensor. By setting the calibration targets and execution schedule in advance, the calibration sensor automatically operates and regularly calibrates the monitor. This automatic calibration function is called "SelfCalibration."

The adjustment content of SelfCalibration differs depending on the color mode that is executed.

Standard Mode (color modes excluding "CAL"):
the monitor's color reproduction gamut is updated and the display mode in each mode is adjusted as follows.

The temperature is adjusted so that it is as close as possible to the standard value.
The color gamut values are adjusted so that they are close to each standard value.
Information on brightness is updated.

Advanced Mode (color mode "CAL"):

When performing SelfCalibration on the monitor itself, calibrate the monitor to match the set targets.
When using ColorNavigator 7, use a measurement device with the software to maintain the calibrated state of the monitor.

Attention

Touching the internal calibration sensor can affect its measurement accuracy.
Do not touch the sensor during use.
Large changes in the amount of ambient light entering the internal calibration sensor light receiver can affect measurement accuracy.
Calibration is best done in a darkened room.
Do not put your face or objects close to the monitor, or look into the sensor, during measurement.
Installation of a monitor hood is recommended.
High temperatures or humidity levels can affect the measurement accuracy of the internal calibration sensor.
The monitor is best used in the following environment.
Temperature: 30˚C or below
Humidity: 70% or below
Avoid using in direct sunlight.

Note

SelfCalibration can be executed 30 minutes after turning on the monitor.
SelfCalibration can also be executed when there are no external device signals being input.
To preserve adjustments that you set by using ColorNavigator 7, it is recommended to execute SelfCalibration.
Because brightness and chromaticity will change as you use the monitor, it is recommended to calibrate the monitor periodically.
The measurement results from the built-in calibration sensor can be correlated with the measurement results from the external measurement device that you want to use as a reference. For details, refer to the ColorNavigator 7 User's Manual.

You can set the calibration targets and execution schedule by using ColorNavigator 7 or the monitor's Setting menu.

You can download the ColorNavigator 7 software and User's Manual from our web site:

Note

When using the software, you will need to connect the external device to the monitor with the supplied USB cable.
While using the software, do not operate the power button or control buttons on the front side of the monitor.

SelfCalibration Functions

Set the details for SelfCalibration.

Execute

SelfCalibration can be executed manually regardless of the schedule.

Note

After selecting "Execute," warming up (after the power to the monitor is switched on, leaving the monitor on for a certain period of time until the display becomes stable) may be executed before the built-in calibration sensor comes out.

Settings - Mode Settings - Standard Mode

Settings: "On" / "Off"

Switch between enabling/disabling SelfCalibration in Standard Mode.

Settings - Mode Settings - Advanced Mode (CAL)

Settings: "On" / "Off"

Switch between enabling/disabling SelfCalibration in Advanced Mode.

Settings - Schedule - Start time

Settings: "Power Save" / "Immediately" / "Application" / "Off"

Select the timing to execute SelfCalibration upon reaching the time set in the schedule.

"Power Save"
To be executed under any of the following conditions.

When the monitor is in "Power Save" mode or power is off at the set time.
The monitor shifts to the power saving mode or the power is turned off when the set time in the schedule is exceeded.

"Immediately"
SelfCalibration is executed immediately at the set time.

"Application"
Executes SelfCalibration according to the timing set using ColorNavigator Network. For details on ColorNavigator Network, refer to our web site (www.eizoglobal.com ).

"Off"
SelfCalibration is not executed.

Settings - Schedule - Frequency

Settings: "Daily" / "Weekly" / "Monthly" / "Quarterly" / "Biannually" / "Annually" / "Usage Time"

Select the SelfCalibration execution cycle.

Settings - Schedule - Timing

Settings: "Jan/Apr/Jul/Oct" / "Feb/May/Aug/Nov" / "Mar/Jun/Sep/Dec" / "Jan/Jul" / "Feb/Aug" / "Mar/Sep" / "Apr/Oct" / "May/Nov" / "Jun/Dec" / "January" - "December" / "50 h" – "500 h"

When the execution cycle is "Quarterly," "Biannually," "Annually," or "Usage Time," select the timing for executing SelfCalibration.

The settings differ depending on the execution cycle setting.

"Quarterly":
"Jan/Apr/Jul/Oct," "Feb/May/Aug/Nov," "Mar/Jun/Sep/Dec"
"Biannually":
"Jan/Jul," "Feb/Aug," "Mar/Sep," "Apr/Oct," "May/Nov," "Jun/Dec"
