SpectraCal Panasonic BT300 - Manual (Page 2)

Panasonic DDC Picture Controls:
Panasonic Picture controls are available within the CalMAN software, allowing you to make display
adjustments in the software, rather than using the display’s remote control. On those calibration
workflow steps where you need to make a manual display adjustment (e.g. Brightness, Contrast,
etc.), you can open the CalMAN DDC panel to make those adjustments from the CalMAN screen.
