10. Pick a display next to the baseline display, above,
below, or to the side. This will be the variable dis-
play. Turn on the Color Balance menu for this
variable display by pressing
ENTER
. Be close to the
display to do this so only this one display has the
Color Balance menu showing.
11. Match the brightness of this variable display to
the baseline display.
• Match brightness first. Move the selector
arrow to White Balance – All.
• With the left key, reduce the brightness until
it matches the baseline display.
• Select the individual colors and adjust the
amounts of Red, Green and Blue to achieve
the best match in color and brightness to the
baseline display.
12. When the first variable unit matches the baseline
unit, it becomes another baseline unit. Turn off
its Color Balance menu with Hide Menu.
13. Choose another variable unit next to any baseline
display, turn on its Color Balance menu, and
match its white to any baseline display.
14. When all displays match in white, change Test
Pattern to Gray so all the displays show an inter-
nal gray pattern.
15. The gray values range from 0 to 15, and they are
all now set at 7. Therefore, gray can be adjusted
up and down. Choose a display that has a middle
brightness and that has very little color in gray.
This becomes the first
baseline display for gray. It
does not have to be the same as the baseline unit
used for White.
16. Proceed as before, matching the grays one display
at a time. Always work with adjacent displays.
17. When all displays match in gray, turn off the test
pattern on each display.
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.
While color balancing, change the White value by a lot,
not just one step. It’s difficult to see one step in White. A
large change will tell you if you are heading in the right
direction.
If you can’t decide which way to go or how to get this
cube closer to the others, try any change. If it is the
wrong change, it will be quickly obvious, and you can
go back. Use the clipboard.
Color Balance values are saved for all input sources in
the same memory location. Color Balance is the
same for all sources.
Changes in the White values
affect the Gray values.
Changes in the
Gray value move
