42 | NEC DISPLAY WALL CALIBRATOR - USER’S GUIDE
White Point
White Point selects the Target white point for the calibration. Several popular industry standard White Point values,
such as 9300K and D65, are provided.
A custom white point can be specied by clicking the Edit... button to
open up the Custom Color Temperature dialog.
If the absolute highest possible Intensity is needed for an application
and the White Point does not need to be a particular value, then the
Calculate Highest Intensity White Point function can be used to
calculate the White Point that gives the highest overall Intensity. This
White Point value is calculated from the “native” or un-calibrated
measurements taken from all of the displays so all displays should be
measured before using this function. Clicking the Calculate Highest
Intensity White Point button will update the current White Point with
the calculated value.
Gamma Curve
Gamma Curve selects the desired tone response curve of the calibrated displays.
Options are:
• Monitor Native Gamma - No correction is applied and the display’s Look Up Tables are set to linear.
• Gamma Curve Value - The response curve will follow a simple gamma curve. Values between 1.0 and 3.0
can be entered. A gamma value of 2.2 is popular for most applications.
• DICOM Curve - The response curve follows the DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine)
specication. This response curve is aimed at medical use, however it can be used for other applications.
The goal of the DICOM response curve is to have a visually linear display response.
• Custom Curve - Advanced and custom response curves can be selected from presets or created by
importing a table of values. Click the Edit... button to open the Custom Gamma Curve dialog.
Note: The Custom Curve and DICOM Curve selections will not be available if the current Calibration Method is set to Use RGB
Gains in the Preferences.
Contrast Ratio
Contrast Ratio allows a particular contrast ratio to be used if necessary. The contrast ratio is the ratio of white to black
luminance.
Selecting Default will calibrate the display to the highest possible
contrast ratio, which is limited by the display technology, the
selected White Point, Intensity value, and other factors.
In some applications, for example simulating low contrast images
such as in newsprint, it is useful to have a lower contrast ratio than
the display’s native value. Contrast Ratios in the range of 50:1 to
500:1 can be selected.
The Contrast Ratio selection will not be available if the current
Calibration Method is set to Use RGB Gains in the Preferences.
Note: If the selected contrast ratio is higher than what the display is actually capable of achieving, then the display will
calibrate to the highest possible contrast ratio. If a specic Contrast Ratio is selected, it is recommended that the number of
Calibration and Measurement Steps be set to at least 32 in the Preferences dialog.
