If your monitor is not in the below list, it is recommended to upgrade to ColorNavigator 7.0.7, the latest software that combines features of ColorNavigator 6 and NX
The below monitors are only compatible with ColorNavigator 6 and NX and are not supported by macOS Catalina. If your model is listed here, please refrain from updating the OS or change to a model that supports ColorNavigator 7 (see loyalty discount offer below, and a list of supported monitors here )

The below sensors operate with a 32-bit driver and are not supported by macOS Catalina. Please refrain from updating the OS or change to a newer model.
Option 1 - Do not upgrade, if you can avoid it
If you would like to continue using ColorNavigator 6 or NX to hardware calibrate your monitor, please do not update to Catalina or BigSur. We do understand that this is not an option for some of you, so read on.
Option 2 - Upgrade to a new EIZO ColorEdge CG (all CG come with a handy built-in sensor)
Take advantage of our loyalty discount offer to purchase a new ColorEdgen CG range monitor. This is available to territories covered by EIZO APAC - Australia, Singapore, New Zealand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines, Myanmar.
If you would like to update to a ColorEdge CG range monitor and take advantage of a 10% loyalty discount off any authorized reseller's price, or to find out which ex-demo units are available, please contact us via this online form.
Option 3 - Purchase basICColor Display 6
BasICColor is the next best thing to ColorNavigator. This monitor calibration software works with all ColorEdge models, no matter the age. Like ColorNavigator, BasICColor is a hardware calibration software - this means it calibrates the monitor's RGB properties directly (rather than adjusting the video card signal being transmitted from your computer, which can be described as 'lossy'). There is a 14-day trial version available, or you can simply go ahead and order it (it was 69 euros at last check). https://www.basiccolor.de/en/

If you use one of the below listed ColorEdge monitors, you may choose to calibrate your EIZO on another computer, then plug it back in to your Mac.

If you use one of the above listed ColorEdge monitors, you may like to use another computer (OS must be compatible with ColorNavigator 6) to calibrate your EIZO, then plug the calibrated monitor back into your Catalina Mac. If you decide to take this option, please make sure of the following:

You should be armed with your calibration settings, a USB stick, relevant cables (read (b) below), and both computers.
When you connect your monitor to the computer you will use for the calibration: The SAME SIGNAL INPUT PORT on the monitor side must be used. Eg, if you are plugging into the Monitor's DisplayPort socket with your Catalina Mac, you must do same with whichever computer you will be running the calibration on. It doesn't matter from the computer end, it does matter at the monitor end. The calibration is always partitioned to that signal input section of the monitor's logic chip.
During a monitor calibration, an ICC profile (called a monitor profile) is created automatically in the background, and saved to your system folder. This profile describes the monitor's colour and brightness personality. Software such as Adobe Photoshop will refer to this profile to understand more about how you have set up your monitor, and how it is translating and displaying the RGB colour numbers. This all happens at OS level - no human intervention required. Because of this.... When you have finished calibrating your ColorEdge on 'other computer', you must make a copy of the monitor ICC Profile & copy it into your Catalina Mac's ColorSync folder, then select it to activate it.
Here's where the monitor ICC profile will be found in a WIN PC: C:WindowsSystem32spooldriverscolor
Here's where the monitor ICC profile will be found in a MAC: Library/Colorsync/Profiles (at admin level), or Users/<username>/Library/ColorSync/Profiles
(Search .icc or .icm if you can't find the folder)
After copying the monitor profile over to your Catalina Mac, you must activate the profile. Open your Display Preferences, select Color, then select the profile. If you have more than one monitor connected to your Catalina Mac, make sure you select the right one for the EIZO (the monitor profile name usually includes the monitor's serial number).
