Usual Setting
This depends on whether you are:
•
Matching displays that are all connected to one computer
•
Matching displays that are connected to multiple computers
The Purpose of This Step
There are two scenarios that StudioMatch™ works with. The user will indicate which
scenario to run through depending on their situation.
The Long Answer
Is it just this one computer whose displays you want to have match, or are there
many different computers whose displays you want to have match each other?
Just this computer:
This means that there is only one computer and that computer has more than one
display attached to it. The computer has a multi-head video card and/or multiple video
cards. If you are running the Windows operating system, see below for issues
regarding multi-head cards.
In this process, the application will take measurements of each attached display and
then mediate their capabilities with the desired target settings selected by the user,
and also the ambient lighting conditions.
Then all displays will be run through the calibration process to adjust them to
matching settings.
This computer and other computers:
This means that more than one computer is involved. Each computer has one or more
displays attached to it. Performing the matching process involves gathering
information from all of the computers onto one machine. The application running on
that machine will then examine the capabilities of all displays and mediate their
capabilities with the desired target settings selected by the user and also the ambient
lighting conditions.
