SpectraView Engine Information
The MultiSync P232W, P241W, P242W, PA231W, PA241W, PA242W, PA271W, PA272W, PA301W, PA302W,
PA322UHD, X651UHD, X841UHD, and X981UHD monitor models feature a custom-designed color processor called the
SpectraView Engine. This sophisticated processor, combined with internal luminance, temperature and time monitoring
of the monitor, and individual characterization and calibration of each unit during production, results in an unparalleled
level of color control, accuracy and stability.
When SpectraView II is used to calibrate these models:
The 5
th
of the 5 selectable Picture Modes is always automatically selected and used to store the calibration
made by SpectraView II.
The Custom 3 memory location is always used to store the calibration. This location will be automatically
named SpectraViewII.
The Color Gamut of the display can be adjusted by conguring the Target and re-calibrating.
The SpectraView II software can be used together with the NEC MultiProler software. When MultiProler
is used with SpectraView II, the ICC/ColorSync prole generated by SpectraView will always be activated by
MultiProler when the Picture Mode calibrated by SpectraView II is selected. For all other Picture Modes, the
ICC/ColorSync proles generated by MultiProler will be used.
The number of Calibration and Prole steps (set in the Preferences) does not increase or decrease the
accuracy of the grayscale calibration or ICC/ColorSync prole when calibrating the display. This is because the
monitor’s internal calibration is used.
Communications with the display can be via either DDC/CI or USB. To use USB, connect a USB cable
between the host PC and one of the USB inputs on the display. Make sure the correct USB input is selected on
the OSD, or using the MultiProler application. On the Mac OS version of SpectraView II the USB connection will
automatically be used when detected. On the Windows and Linux versions the USB connection can be manually
selected using the Display Conguration dialog.
The PA242W, PA272W, PA302W, PA322UHD, X651UHD, X841UHD, and X981UHD models support the
Update Internal Calibration function described on page 37.
See the “Features by Model” on page 57 for all model specic functionality.
The MultiProler software is available for free from NEC at www.necdisplay.com/multiproler.
