Hardware-Based Portrait Mode Support for Macintosh and Windows The ColorEdge CG210 provides built-in support for portrait mode with the EIZO’s exclusive ActiveRotation II technology.
14-Bit Processing
The ColorEdge CG220 comes equipped with EIZO’s newly developed ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) which takes 8-bit data (256 tones for each primary color) from the PC and converts it to 14-bits (16,384 tones) and then back to 8-bits for an ideal gamma curve. This 14-bit processing capability ensures extremely smooth grayscale rendering even in typically problematic dark areas of an image.
Factory Adjustment of Gamma
To ensure that each ColorEdge monitor produces the most accurate and consistent color gradations possible, EIZO carefully measures and sets every shade of R, G, and B from 0 - 255 on the production line with the monitor's 10-bit Look-Up Table (LUT), to produce a monitor gamma value of 2.2. Should the user prefer a different value, the LUT can be used to calculate for values ranging from 1.8 (the standard for the printing industry) up to 2.6.
ColorNavigator Calibration Software
This EIZO-developed software comes bundled with ColorEdge models and offers 10-bit hardware calibration when used with a GretagMacbeth measurement device.
ColorNavigator software is included with all ColorEdge monitors.
Brightness Stabilization Function Ensures stable brightness - necessary for the proper display of color - with EIZO patented technology*. A drift correction sensor quickly stabilizes the brightness level after startup or coming out of power saving mode. Furthermore, the monitor detects and automatically compensates for brightness changes caused by surrounding temperatures and the passage of time.
