About NaViSet

NaViSet Interactive Display Settings Control provides access to display monitor adjustment controls via an easy to use, intuitive software interface.

NaViSet uses a two way communications link with the display monitor via the video graphics adapter and normal video cable. No extra cables are necessary. Special support is required in the video graphics display driver in order to provide this functionality.

This communications link is called DDC/CI (Display Data Channel - Command Interface) and is an industry standard developed by VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association)

 

Using NaViSet

NaViSet appears as a tab called Monitor Adjustment on the Advanced Display Properties dialog box.

1. Right-click on the Desktop and select Properties to open the Display Properties dialog box.

2. Click on the Settings tab at the top of the dialog box

3. Click on the Advanced... button

4. Click on the Monitor Adjustment tab to access NaViSet

 

Supported Video Graphics Card Drivers

It is necessary to install the latest video drivers for the display card.

This version of NaViSet includes direct support for ATI, Nvidia, Matrox (Parhelia P650 and newer), and some Intel video chipsets without the need to install any DDC/CI drivers.

If the video card does not have direct support for DDC/CI (if the video card is not an ATI, Nvidia, Intel, or is an older Matrox such as G400/G450), then it is necessary to install the DDC/CI drivers using the setup switch shown below.

This installer will default to not installing any DDC/CI drivers. To install the DDC/CI drivers, a command line switch can be used when running setup.
