Tips for Color Balancing
•
COPY TO CLIPBOARD
will save all the current settings to a temporary memory.
You can then make more adjustments to see if it gets better or worse.
RECALL
FROM CLIPBOARD
will restore these saved settings. The clipboard is only for
testing. These values are not saved when AC power is off.
• Color balance values are saved for all input sources in the same memory
location.
• Stand back from the array and directly in front of it to get an overall view.
• Small changes are difficult to see at first, particularly with white. When you
don’t know which color to change, pick one at random and change it 4 or 5
steps. The result will be either better or worse. If worse, go the other way with
that color. If that is also worse, put this color back where you started and do the
same with another color. If everything you do makes the match worse, you
must be close to the ideal point.
• Removing red has the same effect on hue as increasing blue and green
together. The
COLOR BALANCE
menu slider bars have colored bulbs at each end
to tell you what the effect will be of moving a color toward that end.
• Changes in the white values affect the gray values but changes in gray values
do not affect the white values.
