1. General information
1.1 Introduction
The uniformity in image representation is a vital element in creating a videowall that consists of
multiple displays. However, due to factors like component variation and aging, it is inevitable for
each display to produce images with slight differences in color and luminance even when related
settings are identical among all displays.
The Color Calibration is designed to minimize such differences and enhance the image uniformity of
all displays in a videowall application. It works by first measuring and comparing the color
characteristics of each display, and then calibrating all displays with a common and optimal setting.
With the Color Calibration, you can also adjust color settings of each display easily on a host
computer.

6. Start the color calibration
Before you start the calibration warm up the monitor(s) for minimum 1 hour.
Movie of a 2x2 color calibration
6.1 Connect color sensor
1. Lift up the diffuser arm
2. Rotate the diffuser
3. Click the diffuser in the rear position
4. Connect the USB cable of the color sensor to your PC

6.2 Connect COM-port cable
Connect the COM-port from your PC via a null modem (= cross) RS232 cable to the RS232
jack 2.5mm input of the first monitor with monitor ID=1.
Make sure all the monitors are daisy chained via RS232
It won’t work via TCP (WiFi/RJ45 input)
6.3 Video signal
Connect the digital out (DVI, HDMI or DP) from your PC to the first monitor
Use the same source inputs as your customer will use
Set the screen options in your pc as “extended”
Disable your PC’s screensaver
If your customer use display port and DVI, than calibrate the videowall twice, once via source
selection display port and once via source selection DVI
6.4 Setup the monitors
Set the monitor ID and tiling correct on all the monitors, see the manual of your monitor(s)
Make sure you do have content over the complete videowall or single display

6.5 Run the calibration software
6.5.1 Start the program
Before you start the calibration warm up the monitor(s) for minimum 1 hour
Start the calibration software CMND & Calibrate
6.5.2 Installation tab
In the “Installation” tab select your COM-port number
The software will check automatically the communication to the monitors via RS232 (make
sure the setting is correct in all monitors), the EDID information will be read via the video
signal cable.
The probe (color sensor) connection is checked via USB
All 3 parameters must be green:
oDisplay DVI/HDMI/D-port: read “PHL” from the EDID table
oDisplay communication: read model name via RS232
oProbe connectivity: check the color sensor

6.5.3 Setup tab
In the “Setup” tab select your matrix: maximum matrix is 15x15
Point structure: how many points must be aligned in each monitor, recommended value = 5
Note: On the bottom of the window of the program on PC you might see some error in red, adapt
where needed according to the errors.
Click on “Identify”, it will read the model numbers via RS232
On the videowall you should see on each monitor a number, this pattern is generated from
the PC
Example of a 2x2 :
1 2
3 4

6.5.4 Calibration tab.
In the “Calibrate” tab select “Calibrate”: this will launch the calibration
Note: read first below before starting the actual calibration
A green spot will appear on the first display
Put the color sensor on this green spot and do not take it away
The calibration will automatically start and the green spot will disappear
Keep the color sensor on the same position until the next green spot appear
If the green spot is in the middle than keep it there until “finished” appears on the monitor

- 11 -
After the calibration is done the green message “Calibrated” will appear on every calibrated monitor.
See below screenshot
Note: the monitors in the software calibration tool can be deselected, means those monitors will not
be calibrated
See below screenshot in red marker as an example, monitor “ID: 1” and “ID: 2” will not be calibrated

- 12 -
Set as reference is used to adjust the backlight of 1 monitor measured from another monitor
it will also adjust the colors to a target value set in the PC
Select in 1 monitor “set as reference”, the light output of this monitor will be measured and
used as target value to adjust the other monitor(s)
In example below, the light output on the first monitor will be measured and the second
monitor will be aligned to the same light output

- 13 -
6.5.5 Manual tuning
It is possible to adjust each monitor manually, select your monitor and you can change the
“backlight”, the Red, Green and Blue colors manually of the selected monitor, see the red marker
below.
