Presenting the Artisan™ Color Reference System
Sony’s Artisan™ Color Reference System is the premiere display solution for prepress, digital photography, and computer
graphics imaging. Three components—the GDM-C520 display, the Artisan™ Sensor, and the Artisan™ Software—allow
your system to produce accurate color for all processes, from image capture and editing through soft proof and final output.
Technically Superior Display
The GDM-C520 display is built around an FD Trinitron virtually flat CRT, supporting resolutions of up to 2048 x 1536 at
80Hz and boasting a narrow aperture grill pitch of 0.24 mm. Advanced Active Signal Correction (ASC) circuitry
automatically sizes and centers the screen image, while Display Mouse image control provides precise digital control over
display settings and image adjustments.
Details that Make a Difference
The GDM-C520 has been designed to provide a consistent viewing environment; the achromatic gray display bezel ensures
that the colors your eyes perceive are not affected by the frame in which they are viewed. The display hood controls ambient
light and color, reducing the impact of environmental variables on the display image. The display’s Smart Cable design
maximizes desktop space, and dual inputs support multiple PC usage.
Industry Standard Calibration Software
The Artisan™ Software is compatible with all major color management systems, including Apple ColorSync, and Color
Matching Methods (CMMs) from Adobe, Agfa, Apple, Heidelberg, and Kodak. Installation of the Artisan™ Color Reference
System also includes industry-standard proofing profiles from Sony and Fuji for standardization of colors throughout
the printing process.
