ASUS ProArt PA27UCX

Calman Required Version

Calman (Ultimate or Studio) Version 5.11.0 or later

Step 1

Welcome to the Calman Asus Monitor Calibration Workflow, press Start Calibration to begin calibration

Step 2

Here you will connect to your Asus Monitor and calibration hardware

Connect to your Asus Monitor
- Note: If you're using a Thunderbolt 3 cable for your video connection, no extra cables are needed, If you're using HDMI or DisplayPort for your video connection, you will also need to connect a USB cable between your computer and your monitor. This can be a Thunderbolt 3 cable or a USB-A to USB-C cable (with the USB-C end plugged into the 90W Thunderbolt 3 port on the back of the monitor
- Click Connect Asus Monitor
- - On the Find Display dialog, you can choose two methods for calibration. Connect via the method you wish you calibrate with.
    - Asus ProArt Monitors 3D LUT
      - Calibrates the monitor using a 1D LUT for grayscale calibration, and a 3D LUT for color gamut correction
    - Asus ProArt Monitor Matrix
      - Calibrates the monitor using a 1D LUT for grayscale calibration, and a 3x3 matrix for color gamut correction

External Meter Connect
- Press External Meter Connect button
- On the Find Meters dialog, select your meter if it is listed, then click Search. If your meter is not listed on the Find Meters dialog, just click Search.
- On the Meter Settings tab, under the Meter Mode drop-down, for a colorimeter select a meter mode appropriate for the display type you are calibrating. For a spectrophotometer, no special selection is required.

External Source Connect

On the Source Settings tab, click the Find Source button.
On the Find Source dialog, select the Asus - Asus ProArt Monitors
Click Connect.

Step 3

In this step, you can configure your calibration targets

Colorspace
- Preconfigured at Rec.709/sRGB
Whitepoint
- Preconfigured at D65
Gamma Formula
- Power Function is preconfigured, you may change the power function using the box to the right

Step 4

In this step, you'll take readings of your display before the calibration. These will be used to compare your calibration results

To take Pre-Calibration Measurements click the Read Series [...] button to measure the display's grayscale and ColorChecker response

Step 5

Select the display mode you wish to calibrate, and press Reset Current Mode to prepare the display for calibration

Step 6

Luminance Target
- Using the Brightness control for the monitor, displayed on screen, adjust to your luminance target.
  - Click the Read Continuous button to measure your TV's light output at 100% white and adjust the display’s peak white to the desired luminance.
- Luminance is a subjective target, you may need to target higher to account for the ambient light in your environment.
  - Below are some general luminance levels for different viewing environments (Supported levels are 45-250 cd/m^2)
    - Dim Room: 80-120 cd/m^2
    - Overhead lights: 120-160 cd/m^2
    - Bright Room: 200+ cd/m^2

Step 7

Press the AutoCal button to begin the Greyscale and Color Gamut AutoCal process.

Depending on the calibration method chosen in Step 2 this will complete a full calibration on your display including a greyscale 1D LUT (look-up table) and 3x3 Color Matrix, or a greyscale 1D LUT and a 3D LUT color cube.

NOTE:

If calibrating to video levels (SMPTE 16-235) and you choose to only calibrate using a 3D LUT, Calman may incorrectly choose SMPTE+ (16-255) when starting the 3D LUT process. If this occurs, ensure that the Asus is set to limited range in the OSD (Image > Input Range > Limited 16-235) as well as in 3D LUT AutoCal dialog

Step 8

It's common to lose some overall luminance after the 1D LUT calibration. Use step this to adjust back to your luminance target if it has changed

Click the Read Continuous button to measure your monitors light output at 100% white and adjust the display’s peak white to the desired luminance.
Press Stop when luminance adjustment is complete

Step 9

Here Post-calibration readings are taken to document the post-calibration condition of the display.

Click the Read Series [...] button

SDR Calibration is now complete.
Press the Save Config button to load the calibration to the monitor.
Press Save and Report to save your Calman session file and open a report
Or, Press Additional Validation to perform additional post-calibration tests with Saturation Sweeps and Pantone ColorChecker patches.

SDR Calibration Complete

HDR Calibration

Note: Calman (Ultimate or Studio) Version 5.12.0 or later required for HDR calibration

Step 1

Welcome to the Calman Asus HDR Monitor Calibration Workflow, press Start Calibration to begin calibration

Note: Display should be warmed up for at least one hour before calibration

Step 2

Connect Monitor:
- Connect to the monitor using a USB C cable to the computer for communication
  and press 'Find Monitor
- Connect to Asus - ProArt Monitors 3D LUT

Connect Source
- Pattern insertion is required
  - Use the "Set Pattern Insertion Defaults" button to enable and configure the recommended settings

Step 3

Connect Meter
- On the Find Meters dialog, select your meter if it is listed, then click Search. If your meter is not listed on the Find Meters dialog, just click Search.
- On the Meter Settings tab, under the Meter Mode drop-down, for a colorimeter select a meter mode appropriate for the display type you are calibrating. For a spectrophotometer, no special selection is required.
Connect Pattern Source
- Note: The Asus internal pattern generator cannot be used for HDR calibration.
  - A hardware pattern generator must be used for HDR Calibration
- On the Source Settings tab, click the Find Source button and connect to your HDR pattern generator
- Default PG settings should be set to 10% WINDOW
- PG should NOT send any HDR metadata
- Configure our pattern generator delay as follows based on your Dynamic Dimming settings on the monitor
  - For FAST/MEDIUM options, set Pattern Delay on your Pattern Generator to 1 second
  - For GRADUAL option, Pattern Delay on your Pattern Generator should be set to at least 3 seconds

Step 4

In this step, you can configure your calibration target

Colorspace
- Preconfigured at Rec.2020
Whitepoint
- Preconfigured at D65
Gamma Formula
- Preconfigured for HDR ST.2084

Step 5

In this step, you'll take readings of your display before the calibration. These will be used to compare your calibration results

To take Pre-Calibration Measurements click the Read Series [...] button to measure the display's grayscale and ColorChecker response

Step 6

Select the HDR display mode you wish to calibrate, and press Reset Current Mode to prepare the display for calibration
Before Proceeding, ensure you have checked the following...
- Asus Display set to 100 brightness
- Confirm Display is in HDR mode
- The Range setting in the display's OSD needs to match the settings in Calman, as well as the settings on the Pattern generator
  - The valid options are:
    - Range in the OSD Set to Full - Calman set to PC levels - Pattern generator set to GB Full 8bit - AutoCal option Full levels
    - Range in the OSD Set to Limited (16-235) - Calman set to Video Levels - Pattern generator set to RGB Limited 8bit - AutoCal option set to Limited (16-235).
    - Range set to Auto in the OSD will work for both the Full and Limited options mentioned above
    - Range in the OSD set to Limited (16-254) is not supported.
Now, use the Measure White button to confirm the display is reaching HDR luminance levels

Step 6

Choose your 3D LUT calibration method using the 3 fixed grid buttons in the workflow
- Only Fixed Grid HDR LUTs are supported, other methods will fail.

Step 7

Here Post-calibration readings are taken to document the post-calibration condition of the display.

HDR Calibration is now complete.
Press Save and Report to save your Calman session file and open a report
Or, Press Additional Validation to perform additional post-calibration tests with Saturation Sweeps and Pantone ColorChecker patches.
