CalibrationUse the Calibration menu to perform advanced picture quality adjustments. This menu
should be used by ISF-certified technicians only.
To recall the ISF Night or ISF Day settings, select “ISF Night” or “ISF Day” from the ISF
Presets menu (see above).
ISF Night - Display Color: Use the Display Color settings to change the characteristics
of the output signal. These settings are global (independent of any particular input).
•Gain: Use the Gain controls to correct color imbalances in the bright areas of the
image. A good way to do this is to use a test pattern consisting mostly of solid white
areas, such as an 80 IRE “window” pattern. If the white areas contain traces of red,
green or blue, decrease the Gain for that color.
•Offset: Use the Offset controls in the White Balance sub-menu to correct color
imbalances in the dark areas of the image. A good way to do this is to use a test
pattern consisting mostly of dark gray areas, such as a 30 IRE “window” pattern. If the
gray areas contain traces of red, green or blue, decrease the Offset for that color.
• Gamma: “Gamma” is a global setting that determines how gray shades are displayed
between minimum input (black) and maximum input (white) for all signals. A good
gamma setting helps to optimize blacks and whites while ensuring smooth transitions
for the “in-between” values utilized in other grays. Unlike “Brightness” and “Contrast”
controls, the overall tone of your images can be lightened or darkened without
changing the extremes and all images will be more vibrant while still showing good
detail in dark areas.
In all but the most unusual situations, the appropriate “Color Temp” selection (see
below) will produce accurate colors and a satisfying contrast level. However, it is
sometimes necessary to adjust the red, blue and green gamma curves individually. To
do this, select Gamma from the Display Color sub-menu and use the left- and
right-arrow buttons to manipulate the on-screen slidebars.
• Iris: Select Iris from the Display Color Menu to increase or decrease the Reflectance
Volume Regulation setting. RVR lets you control the aperture or iris size (the physical
opening through the lens; similar to an “f-stop” on a camera). Doing so allows you to
optimize brightness and contrast according to the amount of ambient light in the
viewing area.
Use the lower setting (1) for rooms with lots of ambient light. Use the higher setting (2)
for more “theater-like” viewing conditions (little or no ambient light).
• Color Temp: Select Color Temp from the Display Color menu to adjust the color
temperature. The default setting is appropriate for most situations. Higher settings
produce a “bluer” picture.
ISF Night - Input Image: The Input Image controls are similar to those in the Picture
menu, but are accessible only by entering the Calibration menu passcode. This makes it
possible to restore the picture quality settings to what they were when the projector was
installed, simply by recalling the “ISF Night” preset.
