The iBug display calibrator is a hardware and software calibration system for the iMac (See press release: "Low Cost iBug Color Display Calibrator Brings Exceptional Color Management to iMac System.") The iBug hardware is a fast, accurate and inexpensive light sensor, which measures the light output from the iMac display's red, green and blue phosphors. The software uses this information to adjust the integrated display's amplifiers bias and gain characteristics and correct the DAC See D/A converter and discretionary access control. DAC - Digital to Analog Converter (digital to analog converter (electronics) Digital to Analog Converter - (DAC) A device which takes a digital value and outputs a voltage which is proportional to the input value. Typical uses include digital generation of audio signals or conversion of a bitmap image to a signal to drive a CRT. ) lookup table. This provides increased dynamic range, accuracy and significantly reduces the problem of color quantization error. Other calibration systems simply adjust the DAC lookup table. The software then writes a ColorSync profile, which communicates the display's characteristics to any application that supports ColorSync technology.
