Product Usage Instructions

Color System
To access the calibrated positions, make sure the Color System option in the Color menu is set to GaiaColor. This option activates a calibrated monitor state based on the last direct connect volumetric AutoCal profile data saved to the monitor’s memory. If you prefer not to use calibration, you can select the None option. The 3rd Party option provides uncalibrated memory slots for use with 3rd party applications.

Connectivity
The preferred configuration for connectivity is single link 12Gbps or 6Gbps SDI. However, the monitor also supports Quad Link 3Gbps and 1.5Gbps Square Division signals. To use these alternative configurations, you must manually select them from the Video Menu.

Known Issues
There are some known issues with firmware version 2.4.11:

Panel Dimming: The Panel Dimming feature is currently disabled and only works in the reference Panel Dimming -> OFF mode.
Delete AutoCal Data: The Delete AutoCal Data menu item does not perform any action and may be removed in the future. There is no need to manually delete data as any new AutoCal automatically replaces the old one.
3rd Party Color System: The 3rd Party Color System only works in Normal LUT Mode. Advanced LUT Mode is not supported in 3rd Party mode. However, this has no impact on default GaiaColor Color System operation.

Color System

Your monitor has arrived fully calibrated. Please leave the Color System option found in the Color menu set to GaiaColor to access the calibrated positions. The None option disables calibration and the 3rd Party option is an empty and uncalibrated set of memory slots avaialbe for use with 3rd party applications.
Within the GaiaColor Color System you will find all the available Gamut, EOTF, Correlated Color Temperature, and Luminance options supported by the monitor. Any selection made within the GaiaColor mode activates a calibrated monitor state instantaneously, without having to reprofile the display, based on the last direct connect volumetric AutoCal profile data saved to the monitor’s non-volatile memory.

Connectivity

The preferred configuration is single link 12Gbps or 6Gbps SDI. Quad Link 3Gbps and 1.5Gbps Square Division signals are also supported, but must be manually selected from the Video Menu.
