Low Linear Region Response Curve

A generalized model for the display response curve accommodating the addition of a linear section as
shown above thus requires the specification of four parameters in addition to the “gamma” exponent
value:

For input values (I) ≤ A

0

:

Y = I/A

1

For input values (I) > A

0

Y = [(I + A

)/(1 + A

The response of the LP2480zx is automatically set to the correct standard as part of the color-space
selection, using either the on-screen display (OSD) or using the HP Display Assistant software, or using
the optional HP/X-Rite color calibration tools. Independently programming a custom response (as in the
case of the user-defined custom color space preset) requires use of the HP/X-Rite calibration tools.
Using the software provided with this calibration product, the display response may be programmed
using the four-value-plus-gamma model described above.

Several of the standard color space specifications supported by the LP2480zx require the use of the
“four-value” model, as they include a linear section in the response curve as described above. Of course,
even the simple “gamma-only” model may be accommodated within the four-value model, by setting
the A

0

, A

, and A

3

parameters to zero, and A

1

to a value of 1.0. The values used to describe the response

for the standard color spaces or output device specifications supported by the LP2480zx are listed in
the table below.
