Samsung Electronics is releasing new auto-calibration software from Portrait Displays - CalMAN with AutoCal on its 2017 QLED series TVs. This software is used by professional video calibrators, as well as in the broadcasting, production, and post-production industries of video content.
This was announced in the company's press release.
Calibration is the process of gradually adjusting the color of a television display. This process is especially important for designers, photographers, and video professionals who strive to perfectly match colors between input devices, such as monitors, and output devices, such as printers. Calibration allows users to optimize the image on the screen depending on the viewing conditions.
In partnership with Portrait Displays, the world's leading provider of video calibration software, Samsung QLEDs have become the world's first TVs to support auto-calibration for high-quality images in the high dynamic range (HDR). Previously, auto-calibration was only available for standard dynamic range (SDR) image quality.
Traditionally, the calibration process took up to several hours - users had to manually adjust their TVs using the remote control and on-screen menu. This process was not only tedious, but sometimes inaccurate in calibration. Today, QLED TVs with CalMAN and AutoCal software automatically measure hundreds of settings in minutes with a few simple clicks.
To use CalMAN with AutoCal on QLED TVs, users need to download the AutoCal Calibration Kit software and install it on their computer, then connect the computer to the TV and start the auto-calibration process. QLED TV will combine its settings with the software to automatically adjust image quality according to user preferences.
With CalMAN with AutoCal, Samsung QLED TV users can also measure the color volume of their TV. Color volume is an image quality standard that shows how accurately displays reproduce color, regardless of brightness level.
According to the company, Samsung QLED is the first and only TV lineup in the world that can display 100% color volume.
