Functions for Editing and Post Production
Pixel Inspection
Working within the wrong parameters affects editing decisions, potentially requiring significant rework of projects and causing costly delays in production schedules. Pixel Inspection, operated through the monitor’s OSD, shows the color information of a pixel from the source input data and the data as it is displayed on the monitor.
System managers can use this information to verify that the creator’s technical settings match the current project’s predefined color parameters. This is especially helpful when creators are working remotely and system managers cannot verify settings directly. By ensuring that creators are working under the appropriate technical conditions, studios can reduce the likelihood of project rework due to mismatched technical settings.
Check PQ Contents at Any Brightness Level
The monitor offers an optional PQ gamma curve (EOTF) function that allows the input signal to be clipped or compressed to fit within the luminance value of the monitor. This allows users to simulate how the signal will appear in other display environments. The Auto setting under PQ Option menu automatically adjusts the PQ curve according to the monitor’s current brightness.
Sync Signal
The monitor’s Sync Signal function automatically switches the color settings – brightness, gamma (EOTF), and color gamut – according to the metadata of the input signal. This eliminates the need to manually switch color settings when working on multiple projects, so users can be confident that they are always working with the correct settings.
Nearest Neighbor Interpolation
The ColorEdge CG3100X offers Nearest Neighbor interpolation setting as an option for image scaling and resampling. When upscaling, Nearest Neighbor copies and aligns pixels to the closest adjacent position, maintaining color fidelity. When Nearest Neighbor is turned off, the monitor uses an interpolation method that balances gradation of the surrounding pixels for smooth color tone. Editors can easily choose the interpolation method best suited to the project via the monitor’s OSD menu to ensure content looks as intended when upscaling to 4K.
Luminance Warning
The PQ Option function allows you to check PQ content at any brightness level and shows the areas of the image that are clipped when displayed at a specified brightness level. These areas are marked in yellow or magenta to easily distinguish them within the image.
4K Zoom
The 4K zoom function allows users to enlarge areas of the screen to check fine details and accuracy of the focus in the scene. This function is quickly and easily accessible using the monitor’s front switches.
| BT.709 Out-of-Gamut WarningThe monitor includes a Gamut Warning mode that indicates areas of a BT.2020 image that cannot be reproduced in the BT.709 color space, which is the standard for Full HD broadcasts, by displaying them in shades of gray. An additional mode called BT.709 Clipping allows the editor to view BT.2020 images within the BT.709 color space, simulating how it would look in an HDTV environment. |  |
Markers for Information Overlay
The CG3100X features a marker function to ensure that content, such as text or graphics, is properly positioned on the screen. The Safe Area Marker marks an area of the screen within which captions or other information will appear to ensure they are visible during broadcast. The position and size of the markers can be specified to suit the current project.
Stable Image Display
Adjusted at the Factory for Smooth Color Gradations
The gamma level for each ColorEdge monitor is adjusted at the factory by measuring the R, G, and B gamma values from 0 – 1023. The monitor’s 24-bit look-up-table (LUT) is then used to select the 1024 most appropriate tones and achieve the desired value. This ensures the smoothest color gradations in your images.
Uniformity Across the Screen
LCD monitors commonly exhibit fluctuations in brightness and chromaticity across the screen, affecting color accuracy. To counter this, ColorEdge monitors are equipped with EIZO’s patented digital uniformity equalizer (DUE) technology which corrects deviations in every tone across the screen to ensure stable display.
・Japan patent no. 4490899, 4542988, 5618574, 5651419
