For many studios in printing, design, and post production,
maintaining a properly adjusted monitor has been a time-
consuming process. Each monitor needed to be aged, cali-
brated, and validated manually.
With ColorNavigator NX installed on workstations, an
administrator can use ColorNavigator Network software to
automate quality control (QC) tasks of ColorEdge monitors
across an entire studio or between multiple locations.
These tasks include self-calibration, setting the color modes,
activating key lock to prevent unintended changes to color
settings (CG series), registering or adjusting asset management
settings, and importing/exporting monitor settings.
Administrator-side QC software for ColorEdge monitors
Client-side QC software for ColorEdge monitors
Using ColorNavigator Network with ColorNavigator NX software
and ColorEdge monitors in even a modest installation of 25 monitors
will save hundreds of hours in annual maintenance costs.

ColorNavigator Network is hosted on a secure cloud server to
free you from the initial investment and running costs of
providing your own server.
The host server for ColorNavigator Network is accessible from
any location with Internet connectivity. (Flash support
required.)

EIZO QC Solution*
ColorNavigator NX offers color and asset management of
client ColorEdge monitors. It covers calibration, emula-
tion, built-in sensor correlation, and color mode setting.
With ColorNavigator NX, calibration information is saved
to the monitor instead of the workstation’s operating
system so you do not have to recalibrate the monitor if
connecting to more than one workstation.
To suit the needs of a specific project, you can manually
change the brightness, gamma, and white point settings of the
monitor’s preset color modes such as Adobe RGB and DCI
and calibrate to the new values.
Give your color mode its own name to avoid confusion
about which one to use for a specific project. You can
also prevent accidental use of color modes by disabling
ones you do not need for your current projects.
Import/export monitor settings including color modes,
self-calibration scheduling, and key lock settings. This
functionality allows an administrator to set up multiple
monitors easily. Settings can only be shared among the
same models.
ColorNavigator NX creates emulation data from the 3D
LUT (look-up table) file of the color grading system’s
motion picture film. Film emulation is available with up
to five of the monitor’s color modes and is ideal for
matching the legacy look of film.
Available with the CG277 and CG247 only.
Save asset management information to the monitor.
ColorNavigator Network and NX work with Windows,
Macintosh, and Linux operating systems. For installations
using Linux that only require administrator-side control of
their monitors, EIZO also offers a software called NetAgent
that can be used in place of ColorNavigator NX for easy
communication with the server.
