Media Analyzer

Media Analyzer
The Media Analyzer tool allows you to compare two gamuts at the same time and is generally used for proofing. The tool contains a Left Configuration, a Right Configuration, and a Gamut Data View in the center. The Media Analyzer tool is part of Media Manager. To open it, open Media Manager, and select Reports and Tools > Media Analyzer. If you do not have Media Manager, contact your sales representative. Left Configuration The Left Configuration analyzes the gamut of your proofing printer. You can import the gamut information using the buttons in the tool. The Report section lists information relative to a printer's ability to reproduce specific colors. The Report is not a comparison to the other gamut. Right Configuration The Right Configuration analyzes the gamut of your final output printer. You can import the gamut information using the buttons in the tool. The Report section lists information relative to a printer's ability to reproduce specific colors. The Report is not a comparison to the other gamut. Gamut Data View The Gamut Data View maps a rough wire frame representation of the gamuts on an Lab* axis. This allows you to visually determine if the proofing gamut fully encompasses the final output gamut. If the proofing gamut does not completely encompass the final output gamut, it cannot accurately reproduce the color of the final output printer. You can adjust your view of the gamuts displayed by moving the sliders. Each slider controls one axis of the Lab* axes. Measure Button The Measure button allows you to import gamut data into either the Left or Right Configuration by using a measuring device. ICC Import Button The ICC Import button allows you to import gamut data into either the Left or Right Configuration by importing an ICC Profile. You can load the gamut data from a .PrnLib or .PrnInst file. Save Button The Save button allows you to save the current gamut for viewing at a later time. Load Button The Load button allows you to load previously saved gamut data.	Figure 1
