EIZO ColorEdge 24" CG2400S

Color Precision

• Vivid Colors Reproduced to Industry Standards. The CG2400S wide color gamut reproduces 98% of the DCI-P3 standard used in digital cinema and supports the BT.2020 standard used in broadcasting. In addition, it covers 99% of the Adobe RGB color space so images shot in Adobe RGB will be displayed correctly. It also covers almost the entire ISO Coated v2 and US Web Coated CMYK color spaces used in printing.

• Broadcast and Cinema Presets The CG2400S offers preset modes for DCI-P3, BT.709, and BT.2020 to ensure you can work in the appropriate color spaces and gamma values. In addition, preset modes for PQ (DCI and BT.2100) and HLG (BT.2100) are available for viewing HDR content. With the monitor's built-in calibration sensor, you can conveniently adjust or maintain the brightness setting for each preset.

• 10-Bit Simultaneous Display The CG2400S offers 10-bit simultaneous display* from a 16-bit look-up-table (LUT) which means it can show more than one billion colors simultaneously. This is 64 times more colors than you get with 8-bit display, resulting in smooth color gradations and reduced Delta-E between two adjacent colors. *A graphics board and software which support 10-bit output are also necessary for 10-bit display. Equipment that supports DeepColor is required for 10-bit display when connected via HDMI®.

• 3D LUT for Accurate Color Display The monitor is equipped with a 3D LUT (look-up table) which adjusts colors on an RGB cubic table. Using ColorNavigator 7's film emulation function, users can emulate film color properties using a 3D LUT file.

Reliable Color Management

• Built-In Sensor to Automate Your Workflow The monitor's built-in sensor can be set to calibrate the monitor automatically at designated times. This eliminates the need for a third-party calibration device and ensures your screen stays color-accurate. In addition, the sensor swings onto the screen, taking up minimal space and allowing you to continue working even during calibration.

• ColorNavigator 7 Color Management Software A monitor needs to be calibrated at regular intervals to maintain color accuracy. EIZO's proprietary ColorNavigator 7 software provides an intuitive and highly precise solution to color management. It allows you to schedule automatic recalibration, calibrate all color modes simultaneously, and conduct correlation with external sensors to match the studio's internal color management framework. Calibration information is saved to the monitor instead of the operating system so users do not have to recalibrate even when using a different PC. ColorNavigator 7

• ColorNavigator Network Quality Control Software ColorNavigator Network provides centralized quality control (QC) of ColorEdge monitors for studios, printing houses, and other enterprises with multiple creators and editors who work on shared projects. With Net Agent or ColorNavigator 7 installed on the workstation, administrators can manage multiple ColorEdge monitors via the web browser, enabling quality control even from remote locations. ColorNavigator Network is hosted on a secure cloud server to free you from the initial investment and running costs of providing your own server.

Features for Video Editing

• HDR Gamma Curves The CG2400S supports the hybrid log-gamma (HLG) transfer function for broadcasting and the perceptual quantization (PQ) curve for the production of films and streamed content. Both methods are gamma (EOTF*) compatible and were standardized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) as ITU-R BT.2100. The PQ curve was standardized by the Society of Motion Picture Television engineers (SMPTE) as ST-2084. Additionally, users can set any camera log using ColorNavigator 7 to view the camera log video on the monitor during filming.

• True Black Display In compliance with the DCI standard, the monitor offers a high contrast ratio of 1800:1* for producing true blacks that are otherwise difficult to display on a typical LCD monitor. CG Series monitors are also equipped with a retardation film which allows tones to retain their depth even when viewed from an angle. *Typical value when DUE Priority is set to "Brightness".

• Sync Signal The monitor's Sync Signal function automatically switches the color settings - brightness, gamma (EOTF), and color gamut - according to the metadata of the input signal. This eliminates the need to manually switch color settings when working on multiple projects, so users can be confident that they are always working with the correct settings.

• Check PQ Contents at Any Brightness Level The monitor offers an optional PQ gamma curve (EOTF) function that allows the input signal to be clipped or compressed to fit within the luminance value of the monitor. This allows users to simulate how the signal will appear in other display environments. The Auto setting under PQ Option menu automatically adjusts the PQ curve according to the monitor's current brightness.

• Luminance Warning The PQ Option function allows you to check PQ content at any brightness level and shows the areas of the image that are clipped when displayed at a specified brightness level. These areas are marked in yellow or magenta to easily distinguish them within the image.

• BT.709 Out-of-Gamut Warning The monitor includes a Gamut Warning mode that indicates areas of a BT.2020 image that cannot be reproduced in the BT.709 color space, which is the standard for Full HD broadcasts, by displaying them in shades of gray. An additional mode called BT.709 Clipping allows the editor to view BT.2020 images within the BT.709 color space, simulating how it would look in an HDTV environment.

• Pixel Inspection Working within the wrong parameters affects editing decisions, potentially requiring significant rework of projects and causing costly delays in production schedules. Pixel Inspection, operated through the monitor's OSD, shows the color information of a pixel from the source input data and the data as it is displayed on the monitor. System managers can use this information to verify that the creator's technical settings match the current project's predefined color parameters. This is especially helpful when creators are working remotely and system managers cannot verify settings directly. By ensuring that creators are working under the appropriate technical conditions, studios can reduce the likelihood of project rework due to mismatched technical settings.

• Markers for Information Overlay The CG2400S features a marker function to ensure that content, such as text or graphics, is properly positioned on the screen. The Safe Area Marker marks an area of the screen within which captions or other information will appear to ensure they are visible during broadcast. The position and size of the markers can be specified to suit the current project.

  Stable Image Display

• Adjusted at the Factory for Smooth Color Gradations The gamma level for each ColorEdge monitor is adjusted at the factory by measuring the R, G, and B gamma values from 0 - 255. The monitor's 16-bit look-up-table (LUT) is then used to select the 256 most appropriate tones and achieve the desired value. This ensures the smoothest color gradations in your images.

• Uniformity Across the Screen LCD monitors commonly exhibit fluctuations in brightness and chromaticity across the screen, affecting color accuracy. To counter this, ColorEdge monitors are equipped with EIZO's patented digital uniformity equalizer (DUE) technology which corrects deviations in every tone across the screen to ensure stable display.

• Stable Display Using Industry-First AI The color and brightness of an LCD monitor can shift due to changes in ambient temperature. ColorEdge CG Series monitors are equipped with a temperature sensor that measures the temperature inside the monitor and estimates the ambient room temperature. Using this technology, the monitor adjusts in real time to maintain accurate gradation, color, brightness, and other characteristics.

  In addition, the monitor uses AI (Artificial Intelligence) in its estimation algorithm to detect and distinguish patterns in temperature changes for more precise calculations to ensure stable and accurate display.

• Stable Color in Just 3 Minutes A typical monitor takes 30 minutes or more for its brightness, chromaticity, and tone characteristics to stabilize. ColorEdge monitors take a mere 3 minutes* so you get reliable color display soon after turning the monitor on. *Based on EIZO's internal testing.

• Verified Accuracy with Factory Report Included in the box of every CG2400S is a Factory Report which shows the measurement results at the time of production. The report includes uniformity, gamma, gamut coverage, and color temperature measurements which verify every unit's accuracy.

Compact Design, Expansive Display

The CG2400S features 1920 x 1200 resolution with a 16:10 aspect ratio that allows for more information to be displayed vertically than with Full HD, eliminating the need to scroll. The 24.1-inch screen size provides ample space to display content, even with a tool panel visible, enabling you to continue creating while seeing more of your image.

Streamlined Connection

Single Cable Connection with USB Type-C The monitor features USB Type-C connectivity that allows you to display video, transmit USB signals, and supply power to a connected device such as a tablet or notebook PC. This convenient multi-purpose connectivity makes it faster and easier to connect when moving between creative work areas, when working remotely, or when working in a home studio.
