33 | NEC MULTIPROFILER - USER’S GUIDE
Several standard color gamuts are available and can be selected from the Preset Color Gamuts list.
The choice of color gamut will depend on the application.
To get the widest possible range of displayable colors, select the Native Gamut.
This is the most suitable when using color-managed applications and working with
images or output devices that have a wide color gamut. For example, if you are using
RAW les with a digital camera, and printing to an inkjet printer, then Native Gamut
is a good choice since it will allow the maximum range of colors to be displayed.
For video applications, presets such as SMPTE-C, sRGB and EBU/ITU (PAL/
SECAM) are suitable.
Note: Although a preset for NTSC (1953) is available, do not use it for video
applications because this color gamut, although dened as part of the original NTSC 1953
specication, was never actually implemented in practice. SMPTE-C or sRGB should be
used instead.
The sRGB and CRT Display presets are suitable for emulating the color gamut of a traditional standard gamut LCD or
CRT monitor. These can be useful, for example, when it is necessary to visualize how images will be viewed by others
using such types of monitors.
Note: The presets listed on the Color Gamut page only set the color gamut of the monitor. So, for example, selecting sRGB will
only set the color gamut to that of the sRGB specication, and will not set the other specication parameters such as white
point, brightness etc.
