· Pin-cushion, trapezoid, parallelogram etc. are also available alongside the basic functions for geometry
correction; Moiré cancellation and convergence can also be adjusted
· Even metadata such as the serial number or the date of manufacture can be easily displayed.
· In addition, the refresh rate, desktop resolution, operating time and the power-save time of the monitor
can be displayed.
If NaViSet is used with LCD monitors, most of the geometrical functions (required for CRTs) are omitted.
Instead, LCD-specific functions for the control of text sharpness, the phase and geometry are included.
Otherwise, the complete software interface remains identical to that for CRTs.
NaViSet Administrator
The LAN version, NaViSet Administrator, comes in two parts: provider and client software. The provider software
is installed on the remote PCs to be monitored and communicates with the monitors via DDC/CI. The
communication transport between the PCs and server takes place at the WMI level (Windows Management
Instrumentation). If DDC/CI is not available on a workstation, the provider software can at least load the EDID
data from the Windows registry and make important monitor metadata available. This metadata can then be
used by any management software that uses WMI.
The client component of NaViSet Administrator is the administrator’s central control application. It is
responsible for connecting to the remote monitors via the LAN or WMI. The client software also displays the
different monitor metadata and executes the comprehensive functions on the local workstation monitor.
Reading the metadata
An indication of the enormous potential created by the large scope of the control software is shown in the
following summary of the most important functions. NaViSet Administrator can call up the following data:
· serial number
· refresh rate
· manufacturing data
· visible horizontal and vertical size of the picture area in centimetres
· current resolution of the monitor in pixels
· monitor name from the INF file
· model name from the EDID
NaViSet software provides users with an intuitive graphical interface that makes display adjustments simple and
to the user’s exact preferences. These windows, which can be manipulated using a mouse and keyboard, allow users
to perform functions such as choosing screen test patterns (left) and adjusting the screen positioning (right).
