11.3.1 Dynacolor concept and expert use
Concept
Dynacolor allows setting a desired color reproduction - within the limits of the device - by digitally changing the primary and secondary
color coordinates. In multiple channel display systems, it is used to
fi ne tune the colors of all devices to create color uniformity all
over the full image.
If Dynacolor is disabled, the device can display any combination of its native primary colors R (red), G (green) and B (blue). A set
of all combinations of the device’s primary colors is called the
color gamut of that device. It can be presented as a color triangle
in the CIE chromaticity diagram where each vertex is de fi ned by the x and y coordinate of the primary colors . The white point W
can be moved within the color triangle by changing its x and y coordinates, resulting in different color temperatures.
Due to the tolerance on optical components the X, Y value of the primary colors of different devices is slightly different.

Color triangle: native color gamut of a device
Dynacolor can be used to create a color triangle which is slightly different from the original color triangle of the device. The coordi-
nates of the desired color triangle (R, G, B and W) are stored in Dynacolor sets. Activating a Dynacolor Set enables the corresponding
color triangle, resulting in a different color reproduction.
