COLOR TEMPERATURE SETUP —
Use the Color Temperature Setup submenu to
apply, alter, add, or copy a color temperature, or if you want to use an unaltered
factory default color temperature.. This menu is duplicated in other locations.
By default, the projector can utilize any of four calibrated factory-set color
temperatures: 3200, 5400, 6500 or 9300 (expressed in degrees Kelvin). For most
applications, these temperatures will display accurate and realistic colors from a
variety of sources. They can be selected at any time from the “Select Color Temp”
list in the Color Setup submenu.
However, if you require extra color temperatures, you can also add up to five custom
color temperatures—four “User” and one “Interpolated Color”—by defining them
within the Color Temperature Setup menu (each defaults to 6500K until then). Any
“User” or “Interpolated Color” temperature created here is immediately applied, or it
can be selected at any time from the Color Setup menu as usual, regardless of your
source or channel. Use of the Color Temperature Setup menu is described below.
NOTE: For best results, use an internal grayscale test pattern when working with
color temperature.

SELECT COLOR TEMP –
See Figure 3.15. Upon opening the Color Temperature
Setup menu, the current temperature appears as the top option. You can change to
a different color temperature here as desired, just as in the Image Settings menu.
Note that selecting a “User” color temperature, enables the “White Level”
options in the Color Temperature Setup—adjust as desired to define or change a
“User” color temperature (see “White Levels”, below). Likewise, selecting
“Interpolated Color” here activates the “Interpolated Color” slidebar for choosing
a new interpolated color temperature for a connected source.
INTERPOLATED COLOR –
Select this option if you need a specific color
temperature that lies somewhere between one preset color temperature and
another. Adjust the slidebar to define a new temperature which will be
interpolated from the neighboring presets (for example, 7841 is interpolated from
6500 and 9300). It can be used any time and appears as a 4-digit temperature
when in use. NOTE: This option is disabled unless you have a source connected
and have selected “Interpolated Color” in the “Select Color Temp” pull-down
list.
