To ensure all relevant settings are updated, the Synchronize function in MultiProfiler should be used after switching from LightSpace.
Connect and Select Mode
To connect and select the desired picture mode on the NEC display, users should follow the initial setup instructions provided in the user manual.
- Connect the NEC display to the LightSpace PC via USB and a direct video connection (HDMI/DVI/SDI, etc.).
- Use the on-screen interface to select the desired picture mode.
- Choose NEC as the device type in the File/Upload dropdown menu.
- Select the connected NEC monitor ID in the Monitor window.
- If no LUT is active in LightSpace, the NULL Cube option will be checked and grayed out.
- Choose the desired display preset with the Select Preset option.
- To reset display parameters and internal calibration settings, select Upload with the NULL Cube option checked.
These steps will ensure proper connection and selection of the desired picture mode on the NEC display.
Uploading NULL Cube
The process of uploading a NULL Cube involves resetting all display parameters, necessitating adjustments to brightness, contrast, and black level settings using NEC’s MultiProfiler software.
To upload a NULL Cube, follow these steps:
- Launch the MultiProfiler software.
- Connect the NEC display to the LightSpace PC via USB and a direct video connection.
- In the MultiProfiler software, click on the Synchronize function to ensure all relevant settings are updated.
- Adjust the brightness, contrast, and black level settings according to your preferences using the MultiProfiler software.
By uploading a NULL Cube, the display parameters are reset, allowing you to start with a clean slate and make precise adjustments using the MultiProfiler software.
This ensures accurate and optimal display performance for your specific needs.
Calibration Operation
Profiling can be conducted by connecting the probe and using the extended desktop mode to display patches through the LightSpace patch window. This allows for accurate measurement and analysis of the display’s performance. During the calibration process, it is important to ensure that the display is set to the desired picture mode and that the correct monitor ID is selected in the LightSpace software. The use of a direct HDMI/DVI/DisplayPort connection from the LightSpace laptop/PC is necessary for patch generation. By displaying the patches through the LightSpace patch window, the calibration process can be performed effectively. It is recommended to follow proper calibration procedures and guidelines to achieve optimal color accuracy and performance.
LUT Upload
After the calibration process, the generated calibration LUT can be uploaded from LightSpace to the NEC display to achieve accurate color reproduction.
To upload the calibration LUT, follow these steps:
- In LightSpace, select the desired profile slot and choose the ‘Upload’ option.
- The current LUT displayed in LightSpace will be uploaded to the selected preset slot in the NEC display.
- Repeat this process for all available profile slots to enable quick LUT exchange via the display’s OSD controls and presets.
By uploading the calibration LUT, the NEC display will apply the color corrections specified by LightSpace, resulting in improved color accuracy and consistency.
This is particularly beneficial for professional colorists and monitor calibration specialists who require precise and reliable color reproduction for their work.
Supported NEC Displays
Supported NEC displays include the NEC MultiSync PA series, selected P series, and some large-screen displays, which can be accurately calibrated using 3D-LUTs generated with LightSpace CMS.
These displays offer advanced calibration capabilities, allowing for precise adjustments and accurate color reproduction. By integrating LightSpace CMS with the SpectraView Engine, the calibration process becomes seamless and efficient.
LightSpace CMS provides a comprehensive solution for generating and uploading calibration LUTs to the NEC displays, ensuring optimal image quality and color accuracy.
The supported NEC displays mentioned earlier, such as PA241W, PA271W, PA301W, and others, are specifically designed to meet the requirements of professional colorists and monitor calibration specialists.
With the ability to calibrate multiple profile slots, users can easily switch between different LUTs and presets, enhancing workflow efficiency and flexibility.
Integration with LightSpace CMS
Integration with LightSpace CMS provides a seamless and efficient calibration process for NEC MultiSync displays, allowing for accurate display profiling and generation of calibration LUTs. LightSpace CMS can be integrated into NEC MultiSync displays using the SpectraView Engine, enabling precise calibration of selected NEC displays with 3D-LUT functionality. The following NEC displays can be calibrated with LightSpace: PA241W, PA271W, PA301W, P232W, P241W, PA231W, MD301C4, PA242W, PA272W, PA302W, PA322UHD, MD322C8, X841UHD, X651UHD, X981UHD, X551UHD. During the calibration process, a direct video connection is established between the NEC display and the LightSpace PC, and patch generation is performed using a direct HDMI/DVI/DisplayPort connection. After profiling, a calibration LUT can be generated and uploaded from LightSpace to the NEC display, allowing for quick LUT exchange via the display’s OSD controls and presets.
Are the Setup and Troubleshooting Steps Similar Between the NEC Monitor and Matchlight Ims?
When it comes to the setup and troubleshooting steps, the NEC monitor and Matchlight IMS may have some similarities. It’s important to consult the Matchlight IMS user manual for specific instructions and guidance on setting up and resolving any issues with the monitor.
Synchronize and Update Settings
To ensure all relevant settings are updated, the Synchronize function in NEC’s MultiProfiler software should be used after switching from LightSpace CMS.
This function allows for the synchronization of display parameters and internal calibration settings between LightSpace and the NEC monitor. By using the Synchronize function, any changes made in LightSpace, such as calibration LUTs or display presets, can be accurately reflected on the NEC monitor.
This ensures that the monitor is properly calibrated and displaying colors accurately according to the LightSpace CMS calibration. Additionally, the Synchronize function helps maintain consistency and accuracy when switching between different calibration software or workflows.
It is recommended to perform this synchronization step to ensure optimal performance and accurate color representation on the NEC monitor.
