Operating instructions

Use the check field modes for monitor calibration or to analyze individual color components of an image. In Monochrome

mode, all color is disabled and only a grayscale image is shown. In Blue, Green, and Red check field modes, only the selected

color will be shown.

Use the following procedure when calibrating the monitor to SMPTE color bars with the following procedure:

1. Allow the monitor to warm up for at least 5-10 minutes.

2. Display SMPTE split-field color bars on the monitor using an external source.

3. Enable Monochrome mode.

4. Locate the pluge pattern (super black, black, and gray bars) at the lower-right corner of the screen. Adjust the

Brightness button until there is no visible difference between the super black and black bars, but the gray bar is

still visible.

5. Adjust the Contrast button until an even grayscale appears along the top bars.

6. Disable Monochrome mode.

7. Enable Blue Check Field mode and adjust the Color button so that the outermost bars (white and blue) appear to

match in brightness.

8. Composite NTSC only: Adjust the Tint button until the third bar from the left (cyan) and the third bar from the

right (magenta) appear to match in brightness.

9. Disable Blue Check Field mode.
