EX4

Calibration Sensor

Regular hardware calibration is recommended to ensure that a graphics monitor features a consistent image display on a permanent basis. For monitors without an integrated sensor, an external calibration sensor like the EX4 that can compare the actual monitor display with that of the PC in cooperation with the ColorNavigator 7 calibration sensor is needed.

The EX4 colorimeter is connected to the EIZO ColorEdge monitor via USB. ColorNavigator 7 then projects a sequence of different colour patches on the monitor, which are measured by the EX4. This determines whether the monitor’s colour display is still correct or whether it has undergone changes due to factors such as ageing. If an adjustment of the monitor display is necessary, it is automatically carried out on the ColorEdge monitor’s look-up-table (LUT) without any losses. Then, a new colour profile is created, which transfers the current monitor settings to the operating system as well as colour management compatible programmes.
