[ProArt Display] [MacOS version]Introduction to ProArt Calibration - Setup and operation

 

ASUS ProArt Calibration 

Precise, Consistent, Spectacular Colors

A calibrated and profiled display is a critical element in an efficient digital workflow for color perfectionists. However, the colors on displays decay over time so wide gamut displays are susceptible to color deviation.

ASUS now introduces a new solution- ASUS ProArt™Calibration which provides precise, consistent, and spectacular colors in the professional monitor.

Brightness and Color Consistency

ASUS ProArt Calibration saves all color parameter profiles on the IC chips within the monitor instead of the PC, so that you can connect your monitor to different devices without changing any settings or color shift. Meanwhile it also reduces the signal distortion between the IC & the display. It’s the easy way to recalibrate your display to restore your display's brightness and color consistency.

How to get(ASUS ProArt Calibration)？

You can get the latest software, manuals, drivers and firmware at the ASUS Download Center.

If you need more information about ASUS Download Center,you can refer to this link.

steps：

  1. Download the latest utility corresponding to your monitor model from ASUS Download Center, enter the model-> click Driver & Utility.   

    (Ex: ProArt Display PA32UCX-K)

  1. Click Driver & Utility-> Select OS. 
  1. Find ASUS ProArt Calibration  in Utilities category,and click DOWNLOAD to download the file.

 

 

Start ASUS ProArt Calibration 

please confirm the following points:

1. Confirm that the "High Dynamic Range" option in the MacOS display settings is turned off.

 

2. Confirm that the Preset mode in the OSD menu is set to a non-HDR mode (EX: standard, sRGB, DCI-P3)

 

3. If the model you are using is PA32UCX series/PA27UCX series/PQ22UC, please color reset the mode to be calibrated (User Mode 1 or User Mode 2) before use.

 

Color Calibration

 

Color calibration is the main function of ProArt Calibration, which can help you correct the color and uniformity of the monitor.

  1. The first step in color calibration, please set the parameters you want to apply.

Some models (PA32UCG series、PA32UCR series、PA27DCE series、PA32UCXR、PA32DC、PA24US) can select Preset mode to calibrate it.

Click [Start Calibration] to do color calibration.

​

2. Make sure the USB Type-C or Thunderbolt cable is connected to your monitor.

3. Make sure color meter is connected to your monitor,，select your color meter model and check if you need to change color meter profile(This function is only supported by i1 display pro/i1 display pro plus).

4. Please choose if you want to calibrate the uniformity and choose you want to use 3x3 grid or 5x5 grid for calibration.

(if you choose HDR calibration in the first step, this step will be skipped)

(If the model used is PA32DC, this model does not support the function of correcting uniformity, so this step will not be displayed)

 

5. Click [next] to measure the brightness,please place the color meter on the marked position, and click [Start] to measure.

After the measurement is completed, it will automatically enter the next step.

6. Press [Start] to begin color calibration.

7. Please follow the instructions to place the color meter on the marked position, and click [Start] to complete color calibration.
If you choose uniformity calibration in the previous step, the uniformity calibration will execute first, and the system will inform you that you need to move the color meter to the marked position,and click [Start].

8. After the calibration is completed, the report of the calibration results will be generated. You can view the parameter values of the color calibration results in the report.You can click [Export Report] to save the color calibration report.

​

Click [Apply] to save and apply the calibration data to User Mode 1/2 or Preset Mode.

If in the step1, the parameters are not calibrated with the preset values but with the parameters adjusted by yourself, the customized values for this calibration can be stored in [Custom Target].

 

If you choose Calibration Appointments, you can begin to set when you want the scheduled calibration to occur, and whether you want to set it to repeat weekly or only once.

and can choose whether to set additional reminders before the scheduled calibration starts.

You can choose whether to allow a 30-minute warm-up before scheduled calibration for the most accurate results.

The set value of the scheduled calibration performed this time can be confirmed, and it can also be confirmed in [Appointment] in the future.

Before the scheduled calibration starts, a prompt message will pop up, reminding you to connect and place the calibrator in the correct position.

 

Customize Target

In the custom target, the non-default (EX:sRGB) value parameters that have been set in the past can be confirmed, and can be directly applied to re-calibrate.

 

History

In the  history, the report data of past color calibration can be confirmed; if there is any data that does not need to be kept, you can click [Delete].

Appointment

In appointment，You can confirm the current scheduled calibration time and setting values, etc., and you can click the modify icon to modify and delete unnecessary schedules.

 

Device

In the settings, you can set User mode1 & 2 as the saved color calibration data in the OSD quick settings, and click [Apply] to save the data on the screen.

If you use PA32UCG/PA32DC, you can select the color calibration data you want to apply in each Preset Mode, or reset them to the default value.

 

Embedded Calibrator Correlation

If you use PA32DC/PA24US/PA32DCE, you can use this function to calibrate embedded calibrator. It is recommended to calibrate once every 6 months to ensure the accuracy of embedded calibrator.

Please click [Go Correlation] to proceed.

Make sure the USB or Thunderbolt cable is connected to your monitor properly.

Please confirm the model of the external calibrator used for calibration.

Click [Start] to start emdbedded calibrator correlation.

Please follow the instructions to place the calibrator and click [Start] to calibrate emdbedded calibrator.

After completion, it will pop up the window of successful calibration of emdbedded calibrator.
