Precautions:

• ( Mac OS only) Do not use the ColorSync control panel to switch between different

monitor calibrations by selecting different monitor color proles. Always use the

MultiProler application to congure the display prole. This is because all of the

necessary color adjustments, including the Look Up Tables, are stored in the display

monitor and these must be set by MultiProler. The ColorSync proles generated by

MultiProler contain linear Look Up Tables for the video graphics adapter.

• Extreme care should be taken when using the DisplaySync Pro with certain USB

devices such as ash memory sticks and hard drives, as data can be lost or corrupted

if the device is switched between upstream ports while write operations are being

performed. Always use the device “eject” function on the host PC before switching

upstream ports with these types of devices.

Note:

This document covers both the Mac OS and Windows versions of the MultiProler software. The

features and functions of both versions are identical unless noted otherwise. The majority of the

User Interface screen images in this document show the Mac OS version, however the Windows

version is identical in layout unless noted otherwise.

Supported Display Monitors

MultiProler supports the following NEC display monitor models:

• MultiSync PA231W – 23” standard color gamut LCD monitor

• MultiSync P241W – 24” standard color gamut LCD monitor

• MultiSync PA241W – 24” wide color gamut LCD monitor

• MultiSync PA271W – 27” wide color gamut LCD monitor

• MultiSync PA301W – 30” wide color gamut LCD monitor

• MultiSync MD301C4 – 30” wide color gamut medical LCD monitor

MultiSync PA231W and P241W Important Note:

The color gamut of the PA231W and P241W displays are not wide color gamut, and are closer to

sRGB.

For this reason, certain preset color gamuts such as AdobeRGB and DCI are not available, since

they far exceed the color gamut of the display. Although MultiProler will allow the Picture

Mode settings to be modied to include large color gamuts, keep in mind that the actual color

gamut of the display is smaller, and will not be able to display colors outside of this gamut.

The PA231W display does not have an internal luminance stabilization circuit. It is therefore not

able to automatically set and maintain the luminance at an absolute value.

For this reason, the Brightness and Black Level controls are shown as a percentage values within

MultiProler.

The DICOM mode is called DICOM Sim (simulation) because the lack of an absolute level for

Brightness and Black Level means approximate values are used. True DICOM requires absolute

values for Brightness and Black Level in order to create a very accurate response curve.

1 Introduction to MultiProler

Overview

MultiProler is designed as a companion to NEC MultiSync PA Series monitors. It provides complete control over the

powerful and sophisticated technology in these models in an easy-to-use application.

NEC MultiSync PA Series monitors feature a custom-designed color processor called the SpectraView Engine. This

sophisticated processor, combined with internal luminance, temperature and time monitoring of the monitor, and

individual characterization and calibration of each unit during production, results in an unparalleled level of color control,

accuracy and stability.

The wide color gamut and high-contrast LCD panel used on the monitor, coupled with the SpectraView Engine, provide

the utmost in versatility; from the ability to accurately emulate colorspaces such as AdobeRGB and sRGB, to performing

printer output emulations using ICC Proles and internal 3D Look Up Tables.

Main Features and Benets

MultiProler provides a simple, intuitive interface to perform the following functions:

• Picture Mode preset conguration: Multiple color modes can be quickly congured and selected using

MultiProler. Choose from the simplicity of built-in sRGB, Adobe RGB, DCI, DICOM, REC-BT709 and High

Brightness modes, or load a device ICC prole for color matching a printer or even another monitor. A powerful

Wizard interface helps guide you through creating and customizing different custom Picture Mode congurations,

including controlling every aspect of the monitor such as the gamma characteristics, color gamut, white point,

and brightness.

• Picture-in-Picture (PIP) conguration: The powerful video processor in the MultiSync PA Series allows two

video signals to be viewed at once in a secondary PIP or Picture-by-Picture (PBP) window conguration. The

picture of the secondary window can even be congured to display in a different colorspace, allowing functions

like simultaneous viewing of printer emulations, or even human color vision deciencies.

• DisplaySync Pro and USB hub conguration: The USB hub integrated into the MultiSync PA Series can

also be managed through MultiProler to function as a Keyboard / Video / Mouse (KVM) switch. This feature

allows the mapping of the two USB upstream ports to the various monitor inputs, which is useful for managing

multiple computers attached to the unit.

• Automatic generation of ICC/ColorSync proles: MultiProler automatically generates and updates ICC

proles for the monitor as the color modes are selected or adjusted. This activity, coupled with the internal

stabilization and highly accurate characterization and calibration of each monitor during production, reduces the

need for a proling package to prole the monitor.

• Flexible: Communications with the monitor can be performed either through the video cable using the Display

Data Channel / Command Interface (DDC/CI), or via an USB upstream connection to the unit (using optional

USB cable). This allows for better compatibility with different host PC platforms.

Function Panels

Picture Mode - This panel has controls for selecting the current Picture Mode, editing Picture Modes

and adjusting the screen Brightness and Black Level.

PIP - This panel is used to manage the Picture-In-Picture (PIP) settings, including the video input and

Picture Mode used for the PIP function.

Color Vision - This panel selects the Color Vision Emulation settings for simulating human vision

deciencies.

Settings - This panel has controls for conguring the power indicator LED color and brightness, Digital

Uniformity Correction, and ICC prole generation.

10 | MULTIPROFILER - USER’S GUIDE

This Display Conguration dialog is accessed by clicking

the Display: Congure button in the main MultiProler

window.

If more than one display is being used on Windows, it may

be necessary to manually congure the relationship between

the display layout on the Windows desktop, and the display

that are connected to the system. Correct conguration of

this relationship is necessary so that the display adjustments

are sent to the correct unit, and that the generated ICC prole

is associated with the correct display.

A diagram depicting the display desktop layout is shown and

the display associated with each desktop screen is shown.

The monitor associated with each screen can be selected

using the listboxes.

Clicking on the display rectangles will also select different

displays on the Windows desktop.

If the display is connected to the host PC by using a USB

cable (not supplied) then it can also be controlled by USB

instead of the default DDC/CI interface. If a USB connection

is detected, the display name will be followed by “(USB)” in

the listbox. Select this to use the USB connection.

Note: Some video graphics adapters may show several duplicate displays due to issues with the video drivers

for that adapter. In this case the duplicate displays can be selected to “None”.

Auto Congure - Attempts to automatically detect and congure the display to the display layout on the

Windows desktop. In most cases this will correctly congure the correct relationship, but in some cases it may

be necessary to manually congure.

Test Monitor - Tests the communications with the currently selected display. Clicking this button will send a

command to ash the display power indicator LED between green and blue. If the wrong display ashes, then

change the monitor associated with the display by using the listboxes to select.

Display Conguration dialog ( ÿWindows version only)

Display Conguration button (ÿWindows version

only) opens the Display Conguration dialog, which

is used to congure MultiProler if more than one

monitor is used on the system, or to select between

using DDC/CI and USB interfaces to communicate

with the monitor .
