SDR/HDR settings
This chapter describes how to configure this monitor for image creation.
Color Modes describes applications and configurations of each color mode.
Setting Procedure describes the procedure to configure each color mode settings suitable for the display of each application.
How to Set Up Using ColorNavigator 7 describes the overview of procedure to configure settings using software.
Attention
- See Information to check the firmware version of your monitor before configuring the settings. Select "Software and Drivers" in "Support" from our web site (www.eizoglobal.com ), enter the model name, and perform a search. Download the program and update the firmware if its version is different from the latest version.
Note
- It takes about 3 minutes (under our measurement conditions) for the monitor display to stabilize. For highly accurate adjustments, wait at least 20 minutes after the turning on the monitor.
- If you switch between SDR color modes ("BT.709", "BT.2020", and "DCI-P3") and HDR color modes ("PQ_THEATER", "PQ_DCI-P3", "PQ_BT.2100", "HLG_BT.2100"), wait 30 minutes or more after switching the color modes, and then adjust the monitor.
