5.5. White Balance Adjustment
5.5.1. Overview
5.5.1.1. W/B adj. Objective & How-it-works
(1) Objective: To reduce each Panel’s W/B deviation
(2) How-it-works: When R/G/B gain in the OSD is at 192, it
means the panel is at its Full Dynamic Range. In order to
prevent saturation of Full Dynamic range and data, one of
R/G/B is fixed at 192, and the other two is lowered to find
the desired value.
(3) Adj. condition: normal temperature
- Surrounding Temperature: 25±5 °C
- Warm-up time: About 5 Min
- Surrounding Humidity: 20% ~ 80%
5.5.2. Equipment
(1) Color Analyzer: CA-210 (LED Module : CH 14)
(2) Adj. Computer (During auto adj., RS-232C protocol is
needed)
(3) Adjust Remocon
(4) Video Signal Generator MSPG-925F 720p/204-Gray
(Model: 217, Pattern: 49)
※
Color Analyzer Matrix should be calibrated using CS-1000

5.5.5. Adjustment method
5.5.5.1. Auto WB calibration
(1) Set TV in adj. mode using POWER ONNY key
(2) Zero calibrate probe then place it on the center of the
Display
(3) Connect Cable (RS-232C to USB)
(4) Select mode in adj. Program and begin adj.
(5) When adj. is complete (OK Sign), check adj. status pre
mode(Warm, Medium, Cool)
(6) Remove probe and RS-232C to USB cable to complete adj.
▪ W/B Adj. must begin as start command “wb 00 00” , and
finish as end command “wb 00 ff”, and Adj. offset if need
