16. COLOR CALIBRATION
About this chapter
This chapter describes the luminance and color calibration process for the DPxK-BLP series. Where applicable references are made
to the user guide of the Communicator for detailed menu navigation instructions. The
fi rst chapter describes the complete calibration
process in chronological order.
Color calibration should be executed during the installation of the projector and also after some service ac-
tions as mentioned in the service manual.
Overview
• Calibration process
• White point calibration
• Color gamut calibration
16.1 Calibration process
Overview
1. Select the desired aspect ratio by activating the correct lens fi le.
- SCOPE format
- FLAT format
2. Laser white point calibration .
The Communicator contains a wizard for white point calibration. See user guide of the Communicator for detailed menu naviga-
tion instructions.
3. Color gamut calibration . (electronic P7 correction). Measured values are saved in the Measured Color Gamut Data (MCGD)
fi le. Needs to be done per format and per projection mode.
- 2D
- External 3D
4. Select target colors . The target colors are stored in the Target Color Gamut Data (TCGD) fi le. Several TCGD fi les are already
available in the fi le system of the projector.
For more info about color gamut calibration see "Color gamut calibration", page 156. The Communicator software contains a
wizard for color gamut calibration. See user guide of the Communicator for detailed menu navigation instructions.
5. Verify corrected colors .
For detailed instructions on how to verify corrected colors see user guide of Communicator.
6. Arrange calibration fi les in macro . To apply correct color calibration it is important that the MCGD fi le(s) and matching TCGD
fi le(s) are activated after that the INPUT fi le and PCF fi le are activated. For that it is recommended to create a macro where the
fi les are loaded one by one in the right order:
a) First activate the INPUT fi le.
b) then activate the PCF fi le (PCF already contains plane 1 information),
c) then activate the MCGD and TCGD fi les.
For detailed instructions on how to create a macro see Communicator’s user guide.
16.2 White point calibration
About white point calibration
White point calibration should be executed to correct a color shift during dimming. The white point will be stabilized over the full
dimming range.
Necessary tools
• Spectroradiometer.
• Communicator software.
