PerfectLum, OS Tools & QUBYXViewer — Your Complete Calibration Ecosystem

 

When you rely on a screen to make critical decisions, “good enough” color and luminance is never good enough. Whether you are reading CT images, designing automotive interiors, validating geospatial data or reviewing prepress layouts, your display must be calibrated, verified and monitored over time.

That’s where the PerfectLum, OS Tools & QUBYXViewer calibration ecosystem comes in. Together, these three solutions from QUBYX form a complete, end-to-end environment for DICOM-grade accuracy, color consistency and quality assurance—from the operating system level to the final image review.

In this guide, we’ll explore how each component works, how they integrate, and why this ecosystem is a powerful choice for clinics, OEMs, PACS vendors, imaging centers, and color-critical industries worldwide.

Why Display Calibration Still Matters

Digital imaging has advanced dramatically, but one thing hasn’t changed: if your display is wrong, your decisions are at risk.

Common Problems Without Proper Calibration

• Inconsistent luminance and contrast between workstations

• Color shifts after GPU or OS updates

• Unreliable grayscale rendering for medical images

• Mismatch between acquisition and review systems

• Failed compliance audits due to missing or outdated QA reports

For medical imaging, this can mean missed findings, inconsistent diagnoses and non-compliance with standards like DICOM Part 14 GSDF.

For prepress, photography, geospatial and automotive, it can mean costly rework, poor print match, unreliable color decisions and unhappy customers.

A modern imaging workflow needs more than a one-off manual calibration. It needs a calibration ecosystem:

• Integrated with the operating system

• Aware of your displays and their capabilities

• Able to create, apply and monitor calibration profiles

• Capable of generating documentation and QA reports on demand

That is exactly what the QUBYX ecosystem is designed to deliver.

Meet the QUBYX Calibration Ecosystem

The QUBYX ecosystem is built around three core products, each handling a different layer of your imaging stack:

1. PerfectLum – display calibration and QA engine

2. OS Tools – system-level color and profile management

3. QUBYXViewer – accurate image display and visual verification

Together, they create a closed calibration loop: from measurement and profile creation to application, monitoring and viewing.

PerfectLum – The Calibration & QA Powerhouse

PerfectLum is the heart of the ecosystem. It’s designed to measure, calibrate and verify your displays, whether they are medical diagnostic monitors, surgical displays, dental screens, or high-end color monitors.

Core Capabilities of PerfectLum

• Hardware & software calibration

  • Uses supported sensors to measure luminance and chromaticity

  • Can drive supported displays’ internal LUTs (where available)

• DICOM, sRGB, Gamma and custom curves

  • Calibrate to DICOM GSDF for medical imaging

  • Use standard gamma (e.g., 2.2) or custom response curves for graphics

• Automatic & scheduled re-calibration

  • Set regular QA routines to maintain consistency over time

  • Receive alerts when a monitor drifts out of tolerance

• Detailed QA & compliance reports

  • Before/after calibration metrics

  • Pass/fail indicators against defined criteria

  • Documentation for audits and regulatory requirements

PerfectLum turns display calibration from a one-time project into a repeatable, documentable QA process.

OS Tools – Calibration That Lives at the System Level

While PerfectLum handles measurement and profile creation, OS Tools ensures that these calibrations actually control the pixels the way you expect.

What OS Tools Brings to Your Workflow

• Operating system integration

  • Manages and applies ICC profiles at the OS level

  • Ensures consistent color management across applications

• Multi-monitor and multi-GPU support

  • Assigns the correct calibration to each connected display

  • Keeps track of changes in connections and configurations

• Advanced profile handling

  • Supports complex ICC profiles for different devices

  • Works hand-in-hand with PerfectLum for seamless deployment

In simple terms, OS Tools is the bridge between your calibration data and the real-world pixels shown on every monitor in your fleet. Without a solid system-level layer like this, even the best calibration can be undermined by OS changes or driver updates.

QUBYXViewer – Trust What You See

Even with a calibrated system, you need a viewer that respects profiles, curves and luminance targets. QUBYXViewer handles that final step: accurate, profile-aware display of your images.

How QUBYXViewer Completes the Ecosystem

• Profile-aware image rendering

  • Uses the active calibration and ICC profiles

  • Ensures the image you see reflects the calibrated state

• Support for clinical and technical workflows

  • Ideal for medical image viewing, QA verification, and visual checks

  • Helpful as a reference viewer when comparing images across devices

• Consistency checks

  • Lets you see how images behave on different calibrated displays

  • Helps verify that your pipeline—from acquisition to display—is aligned

While PerfectLum create and apply the calibration, QUBYXViewer is where you visually experience the result with confidence.

How the Ecosystem Works Together (Step-by-Step)

To understand the power of the ecosystem, it helps to walk through a typical workflow.

Step 1: Measure & Calibrate with PerfectLum

• Connect your supported sensor

• Choose your target (e.g., DICOM GSDF, specific gamma, luminance target)

• Run the calibration routine

• PerfectLum generates and stores a calibration profile

• Verification ensures your display meets tolerance limits

Step 2: Apply System-Wide Profiles with OS Tools

• OS Tools assigns the correct ICC profile to each display

• It ensures that the operating system and GPU use these profiles correctly

• Multi-monitor setups are mapped and maintained

Step 3: View & Verify with QUBYXViewer

• Open your clinical, prepress or technical images in QUBYXViewer

• Confirm that grayscale, color and contrast values align with expectations

• Use visual verification alongside numerical QA metrics

Step 4: Maintain Quality Over Time

• PerfectLum runs scheduled QA checks

• Drift is detected early, and the user is prompted for re-calibration

• QA reports document stability, compliance and performance

This continuous cycle makes the QUBYX stack a true calibration ecosystem, not simply a standalone utility.
