NOTE The shape of the blue area in the measurement window matches the shape of the measurement device you are using 17 Make sure the measurement window is displayed on the EIZO monitor either by setting the EIZO monitor as your computer s default monitor or by dragging the measurement window to the EIZO monitor if your display is set to DualView mode 18 Place the measurement device on your EIZO screen inside the blue area of the measurement window Make sure the device cannot slide out of the blue area WARNING Do not exert any pressure on the LCD screen when trying to attach the measurement device as this may damage the screen Even if the measurement device has suction cups they are only meant to be used with CRT monitors You may place a counterweight on the device cable to make sure the device stays in place 19 Make sure the room is dark or cover the monitor with a black cloth to prevent light from interfering with the measurement Performing the process in normal room light leads to incorrect calibration 20 Click Proceed to begin calibrating The calibration utility measures monitor parameters and performs the necessary adjustments The process will take about two minutes When calibration is complete the adjustment result window appears 34 Chapter 6 Calibrating EIZO Monitors J ColorNavigator Brightness Black level Contrast ratio White point Gamma R G B2. 29 ncc d wis b wg Een Re RENI a Ae sw Xm X wget e V e s 29 Monitor Calibration s se co oto om oo o m RERO s S SUE vog s 30 Calibrating the EIZO CG241W for Emulation 35 Nabdaung Monitor ues oe o Rom yo Ru dun RR UE X 37 rl EM rcr 39 Introduction Topics in this chapter Overview on page 1 About this Guide on page 2 Related Documentation on page 2 Notation Conventions on page 2 Contacting Customer Support on page 2 Overview The Lustre Color Management package standardizes high integrity color management display and processing functionality across several Autodesk applications including W Visual Effects applications Autodesk Inferno Flame Flare and Flint W Finishing applications Autodesk Smoke and Backdraft Conform Color grading Autodesk Lustre Compositing Autodesk Toxik The package consists of a collection of generic 3D lookup tables LUTs suitable for both display and conversion purposes and a monitor calibration utility The LUTs allow you to simulate the color and contrast rendition of a specific film stock relative to a display device Display LUTS let you view an effect without rendering whereas conversion LUTS create a new clip for use in a subsequent step of the production chain The generic nature of the LUTs implies that results may not match a specific lab process However th
