Graphics Adapter Connection Mode Calibration
Follow this procedure to calibrate an HP DreamColor monitor that is normally connected to a
computer’s standard graphics adapter output. This procedure will automatically create and load an
optimized 1D LUT monitor calibration file into the HP DreamColor Z27x monitor, adjust the color matrix,
and then create an ICC profile.
Note: See the “Independent Source Mode Calibration” section below for calibrating DreamColor monitors
that are normally driven from a source other than a computer’s standard graphics adapter output.
Monitor - Direct (EIZO/HP) Workflow
The Monitor - Direct (EIZO/HP) workflow in CalMAN is used to automatically create a 1D display
calibration LUT, adjust the color matrix, and create an ICC profile. To open this CalMAN workflow, in the
main menu select Open Workflow Template / Monitor - Direct (EIZO/HP). Proceed through each step of
the workflow in a normal fashion, using the following notes for DreamColor monitor specifics.
1. Base Settings section
In the Base Settings section of the Monitor - Direct (EIZO/HP) workflow,
step through the following pages:
a. Calibration Client Connect
To connect to CalMAN Client 3 on the local computer on which
CalMAN is running, in order to calibrate an HP monitor on the
local computer, click the “Local Client Connect” button. CalMAN
will automatically connect to the locally installed CalMAN Client 3
as a Source device and as a Display Control device.
To connect to CalMAN Client 3 on another computer on the local
network, in order to calibrate an HP monitor on that computer,
click the “Networked Client Connect” button. On the Source
dialog, under Manufacturer, select “SpectraCal.” Under Model,
select “SpectraCal – CalMAN Client 3 Pattern Source.” In the Socket Connection search box,
select the IP address for the desired target computer, and then click Connect.
Note: The HP internal test patterns are not an advantage in this situation, and cannot be used on
an HP monitor that is being used as a workstation’s primary display.
On the Select Monitor and Calibration Memory drop down, select “Native.”
b. Display Connect
On the Display Connect page, follow the instructions to make a USB connection from the
CalMAN computer to the HP monitor that is to be calibrated. This connection will be used to
load calibration data into the target monitor.
Note: If more than one HP monitor is connected to the computer, disconnect all the HP monitors
except for the one that you are currently calibrating.
To connect CalMAN to the HP monitor, click the “HP Connect” button.
