EX5

The EX5 is an external calibration sensor designed to accurately calibrate ColorEdge monitors with the support of ColorNavigator 7 and the Quick Color Match color management software.

In the seamless interaction between EX5 and ColorNavigator 7 or Quick Color Match, color and brightness deviations are corrected without loss during hardware calibration. An ICC profile is then created, which contains information about the monitor's current color settings for color management.

The EX5 colorimeter is connected to the computer via USB. ColorNavigator 7 or Quick Color Match then projects a sequence of different color fields onto the monitor, which are measured by the EX5. This checks whether the monitor's color display still corresponds to the set target values or has changed due to factors such as ageing. If an adjustment of the monitor display is required, this is carried out loss-free in the Look-Up-Table (LUT) of the ColorEdge monitor as part of the calibration. A new color profile is then created, which passes the current monitor settings to the operating system and therefore also to color management-capable programs. This profile contains information about monitor properties and settings. This profile does not contain color corrections that reduce the display quality, as is the case with software calibrations.
