EIZO EX5 colour sensor

EIZO EX5 Color Sensor

The EIZO EX5 Color Sensor an external calibration sensor designed to accurately calibrate ColorEdge monitors with support for ColorNavigator 7 and Quick Color Match colour management software. Thanks to the seamless interaction between EX5 and ColorNavigator 7 or Quick Color Match, colour and brightness anomalies are corrected without loss during hardware calibration. An ICC profile is then created, containing information about the monitor's current colour settings for colour management.

The Colorimeter EX5 connects to the computer via USB. ColorNavigator 7 or Quick Color Match then projects a series of different colour fields onto the monitor, which are measured by the EX5. This checks whether the monitor's colour reproduction still matches the set target values or whether it has changed due to factors such as ageing. If an adjustment of the monitor display is necessary, this is performed losslessly in the look-up table (LUT) of the ColorEdge monitor as part of the calibration. A new colour profile is then created, which transmits the current monitor settings to the operating system and thus also to programmes that support colour management. This profile contains information about monitor properties and settings. This profile does not contain colour corrections that reduce display quality, as is the case with software calibrations.
