I just received SpectraView II to calibrate and profile an NEC 1980SXi. SV
II uses DDC communication with the monitor and calibrates by adjusting the
monitor LUT while leaving the video card LUT in a linear state.
What I want to do is share this display between a Mac and PC with my KVM
switch. Unfortunately my KVM breaks the DDC communication between SV II and
the display on both platforms (Interestingly ColorEyes allows DDC with this
KVM).
I can plug the display directly into the Mac of course and calibrate as well
as build a profile. SO...Since A) SV II is adjusting the monitor's internal
LUT and not the video card, and B) SV II allows you to generate a profile
without calibrating, can I calibrate and profile on the Mac then switch to
the PC and simply profile the existing calibration (done on the Mac)? Will
both profiles be equally valid on their respective platforms? The NEC tech I
asked said the internal state of the monitor remains unchanged when
switching between computers via a KVM so to me that says all I need to do is
let the PC record this calibrated state, ie build a profile. The upshot for
me is that SV II can generate an ICC profile without DDC communication so
future calibrations would require me crawling behind only one computer.
Before I go down the rabbitt hole and spend hours obsessing over this can
anyone tell me if this will be an exercise in futility, for reasons beyond
my undersanding? Thanks
