EIZO ColorNavigator Network: Solving the Colour Managed Workflow

In the demanding world of creative industries, where precise colour accuracy can make or break a project, EIZO ColorEdge monitors are trusted tools. Known for their exceptional image quality and built-in hardware calibration, ColorEdge monitors already simplify colour management for individual creatives. But what happens when you’re managing multiple monitors across a team or organisation?

Enter EIZO’s ColorNavigator Network, a centralised cloud-based solution designed to streamline the calibration and management of multiple ColorEdge monitors. By integrating seamlessly with ColorNavigator 7 software, this tool redefines efficiency and consistency in colour managed workflows.

In this blog, we will explore how ColorNavigator Network works, its standout features, and why it’s a game-changer for professionals in colour-critical industries.

Calibrating an individual ColorEdge monitor with ColorNavigator 7 software is fast and easy. However, managing multiple monitors across a large creative team can be a daunting task. Each calibration requiring significant time and effort.

ColorNavigator Network eliminates this hassle by allowing an administrator to remotely manage calibration for multiple monitors simultaneously. Calibration schedules, settings, and adjustments can all be applied at once, ensuring a consistent visual experience across all connected devices.

ColorNavigator Network operates as a cloud-based platform that integrates with ColorNavigator 7. Users access it through a browser, so there’s no need to install additional software on individual devices. The admin simply logs into the portal, where all connected monitors appear in an organised list. From there, calibration settings can be pushed to the entire network.

This centralised approach ensures that no monitor is left uncalibrated or incorrectly configured. It’s particularly useful for businesses where every monitor must adhere to strict colour standards, such as:

• Post-production studios ensuring precise grading consistency.
• Graphic design teams collaborating on campaigns.
• Photography studios maintaining accurate proofing displays.

1. Simple Setup

Getting started with ColorNavigator Network is straightforward. Since its browser-based and integrates directly with ColorNavigator 7, there’s no need to worry about additional installations. The intuitive interface ensures that admins can quickly set up their network, reducing downtime and complexity.

2. Centralised Admin Control

For teams where not every member is a colour management expert, centralised control is a lifesaver. Admins can set calibration targets and remotely manage settings without requiring individual users to understand the intricacies of colour accuracy. This ensures:

• Consistency across all monitors in the network.
• Fewer errors caused by manual adjustments.
• Time savings for both users and IT teams.

3. User Error Reduction with KeyLock

Creative workflows often demand uninterrupted focus. However, accidental changes to monitor settings, such as brightness adjustments or selecting the wrong colour mode, can disrupt projects. With the KeyLock feature, admins can lock menu buttons and restrict access to colour settings. This safeguard minimises disruptions and maintains consistent monitor performance.

4. Comprehensive Quality Control

ColorNavigator Network provides detailed insights into the status and health of connected monitors. Admins can view:

• Monitor usage time, helping track device longevity.
• Re-calibration schedule, automated and customisable
• Error messages or calibration cancellations, ensuring swift troubleshooting.
• On-Screen Display (OSD) menu settings, enabling remote monitoring of calibration accuracy.
• These tools ensure that every monitor operates at peak performance, safeguarding your investment and delivering reliable colour reproduction.

EIZO’s ColorNavigator Network is more than just a tool; it’s a transformative solution for teams and businesses managing multiple ColorEdge monitors. By combining centralised control, robust quality assurance, and intuitive features like KeyLock, it ensures consistent, accurate colour performance across the board.

Whether you’re a large production studio, a creative agency, or a freelance photographer, ColorNavigator Network empowers you to focus on what you do best—creating exceptional content—while leaving the technical complexities of colour calibration to EIZO’s innovative solution.
