Display Emulation

The

Display Emulation

page is shown if a

Custom

Picture Mode is selected on the first wizard page, and

Emulate

another display

is chosen as the custom type.

This feature can be used to configure the color settings on the monitor according to the color characteristics of another

display or colorspace from an ICC/ColorSync profile. A list of display and RGB colorspace ICC/ColorSync profiles

installed on the system is shown. The color characteristics and information about the currently selected profile in the list

is shown on the page.
Select the desired profile from the list, or click

Add from other location...

to read a profile from a location other than

the default system profile locations.
MultiProfiler will read the color characteristics from the ICC/ColorSync profile for the gamma response, brightness,

white point, and color gamut and automatically configure the monitor color settings accordingly. These settings can be

modified manually on the wizard pages that follow.
