7 Optimizing the image
This chapter outlines what image optimization features and functions are available for the projector and
gives some advice on how to best use these.
All color calibration is done using Barco’s RealColor™ solution.
7.1 Calibration data
All Barco projectors are measured and calibrated with high precision equipment at the factory for the best
out-of-box experience. Over the lifetime of the lamps the characteristics of the projector might change
slightly. The same applies when replacing lamps.
7.1.1 Updating RealColor™ calibration data
For accurate results with the RealColor™ system, accurate measurement data is required.
RealColor™ calibration data can be found under the menu entry PICTURE >REALCOLOR >REALCOLOR
CALIBRATION > MEASURED VALUES
X/Y and relative luminance values for red, green, blue, white and BrilliantColor™ 1 are entered in this menu.
The BrilliantColor™ should all be set to 0.000 for the VizSim (RGB) color wheel. All values can also be up-
dated using the communications protocol over RS-232 or LAN.
Before setting these values, it is important to select the desired BrilliantColor™
setting. Go to menu entry PICTURE > REALCOLOR > BRILLIANTCOLOR to select
the desired BrilliantColor™ look.
Measurements must be done on the built in test patterns. This is in particularly important for the Brilliant-
Color™ 1 test pattern since it is impossible to generate this pattern correctly using a computer source.
In the user menu these patterns can be accessed through
PICTURE > CALIBRATION > REALCOLOR
CALIBRATION > COLOR CALIBRATION TEST IMAGE/COLOR PROCESSED TEST IMAGE .
Use the arrow keys to cycle through the images.
Performing a factory reset of the projector will restore the measured values to the
values measured in the factory.
When measuring data, a high quality measurement instrument is highly recommended for accurate
results. Spectrometers (like PhotoResearch PR-655) are preferred.
