Quality control with ColorNavigator
Network and NX
ColorNavigator Network and ColorNavigator
NX software enable unified quality control of all
monitors in a studio or across a network in
multiple locations.
Quality control until now
Maintaining a properly adjusted monitor has been a time-
consuming process for many printing, design and post pro-
duction studios. Each monitor needed to be aged, calibrated
and validated manually.
ColorNavigator NX
ColorNavigator NX offers color and asset management of
client ColorEdge monitors. It covers calibration, emulation,
built-in sensor correlation and color mode setting.
Save calibration information to the monitor
With ColorNavigator NX, calibration information is saved to the
monitor instead of the workstation's operating system, meaning
you do not have to recalibrate the monitor when connecting
to more than one workstation.
Set parameters of color modes
To suit the needs of a specific project, you can manually change
the brightness, gamma and white point settings of the monitor's
preset color modes, such as AdobeRGB and DCI, and calibrate
to the new values.
Color mode name customisation
Name your color mode to avoid confusion about which one
to use for a specific project. You can also prevent accidental
use of color modes by disabling ones you do not need for your
current projects.
Worry-free web hosting
ColorNavigator Network is hosted on a secure cloud server to
free you from the initial investment and running costs involved in
providing your own server.
Significantly reduce your workload
Using ColorNavigator Network with ColorNavigator NX soft-
ware and ColorEdge monitors in even a modest installation of
25 monitors will save hundreds of hours in annual maintenance
costs.
Remote access made easy
The host server for ColorNavigator Network is accessible from
any location with internet connectivity. (Flash support required.)
Unify color, centralise QC management
With ColorNavigator NX installed on workstations, adminis-
trators can use ColorNavigator Network software to automate
quality control (QC) tasks of ColorEdge monitors across an
entire studio or between multiple locations.
These tasks include self-calibration, setting the color modes,
activating the key lock to prevent unintended changes to color
settings (CG series), registering or adjusting asset management
settings and importing /exporting monitor settings.

Import/export monitor settings
You can import/export monitor settings including color modes,
self-calibration scheduling and key lock settings. This func-
tionality allows administrators to set up multiple monitors easily.
Settings can only be shared between the same models.
Film emulation with 3D LUT
ColorNavigator NX creates emulation data from the 3D LUT
(look-up table) file of the color grading system's motion picture
film. Film emulation is available with up to five of the monitor's
color modes and is ideal for matching the legacy look of film.
Available with the CG277 and CG247 only.
Register asset management information
You can save asset management information to the monitor.
Multi-platform compatibility
ColorNavigator Network and NX work with Windows,
Macintosh and Linux operating systems. For installations using
Linux that only require administrator-side control of their moni-
tors, EIZO also offers NetAgent software that can be used in
place of ColorNavigator NX for easy com munication with the
server.
