User Manual
If you connect a monitor to your system which doesn’t sup- port hardware
calibration, this option is grayed out and not available.
Software calibration (video LUTs)
Monitors without hardware calibration should be prepared via the OSD
(On-Screen-Display) of the monitor.
After manual preparation of the hardware (adjusting the display‘s buttons
to control the OSD, as guided by
SpectraView Profiler) SpectraView
Profiler will calibrate these monitors via a video-LUT (Look-Up-Table)
correction on the graphics card.
No calibration (profile only)
Some graphic cards do not support video-LUTs. A software calibra-
tion will fail on these systems. But you can use this option to create an
ICC-profile for these systems.
You can also use this option if you want to just profile the monitor using
the present video-LUT in your graphics card. SpectraView Profiler will
use the video-LUT for the profiling process and will write this video-LUT
into the ICC-profile.
