Color calibration

Color calibration of an SLite display

To achieve color uniformity among all tiles of the same display the tiles has to be color calibrated. This is done in factory but due
to service intervention like replacing SLite tiles in the display it’s recommended to re-calibrate the SLite display on site. Refer to the
user guide of the Director toolset for more info about color calibration and calibration instructions.
