Color Gamut adjustment wizard page
The Color Gamut page is available with the DICOM, High Brightness and Full presets, and Custom Picture Modes.
For all other Picture Modes the color gamut is xed to the value dened by the particular preset’s standard.
The color gamut is the range of
colors that can be displayed by the
monitor. The color gamut of a
monitor is dened and bounded by
the red, green and blue primaries
which together make up all other
colors. The SpectraView Engine is
capable of manipulating these
primary colors in order to display
different colorspaces.
The LCD panels used in the NEC
MultiSync PA Series are known as
wide color gamut panels, meaning
they can display a much wider range
of colors than typical monitors.
However, for some applications, it
is not desirable to use such a wide
color gamut, and in these cases,
the Color Gamut control can be
used to manipulate the color gamut
size and shape.
In other instances it is desirable for the monitor to behave as though it has an even larger color gamut than it actually
has. In this case colors that lie outside the displayable range of the LCD panel will be clipped to the nearest displayable
color. An example is the DCI colorspace used for Digital Cinema applications. Parts of this colorspace lie outside the
range of displayable colors.
The native color gamut of the monitor is shown as a yellow triangle on the CIE xy chromaticity diagram on the wizard
page. This triangle represents the limits for displayable colors, and colors outside it cannot be represented correctly by
the display.
The color gamut of the monitor can be altered by changing the positions of the red, green and blue primary colors. This
can be done on the wizard page by either clicking and dragging the positioning controls on the CIE xy diagram, or by
modifying the CIE xy values for each color.
