Once the Color Primary Settings are calibrated for the site (see above), use the Color
Adjustments by X,Y or Color Saturation menu to further refine each Cine-IPM 2K’s
fundamental colors so that each color appears the same from one display to another.
Once matched, you will have created a single new shared range of colors or “color
gamut” that all of your projectors can produce. This palette–named User 1, 2, 3 or 4–
can be applied or disabled for a non-cinema source at any time throughout a bank of
adjacent displays, simplifying both the setup and maintenance of a “seamless” wall.
1. Set up and optimize all Cine-IPM 2K settings. You can ignore color temperature,
since you will be redefining color performance in this procedure, but do optimize
each unit in every other aspect. Closely align all screen edges.
2. Assign projector numbers to make communications easier.
3. Use the same lamp mode for all projectors, and do the following:
‰
Set Select Color Adjustment to “Max Drives”
‰
Display a full white test pattern
‰
Adjust lamp power until adjacent white fields appear the same brightness.
4. Display the Color Adjustments by X,Y menus for all projectors. Each menu shows
the x/y coordinates defining the “Max Drives” color gamut for the Cine-IPM 2K
connected to this projector. Jot down the values shown in one (any) of the
displays. See Figure 3.28. Or use the “Copy From” function to copy them into a
“User” gamut in one
Cine-IPM 2K .

5. In each projector, select a “User” color adjustment (1-4) to enable Color
Adjustments by X,Y changes. Then enter your recorded x/y values into each menu
(Figure 3.29).
