3.3.3 Adjusting Color Balance
Color Balance is used to match the colors of adjacent displays when several Bay Cat Xs are arranged in an array.
You may also use it to adjust the color of a single display.
For one Bay Cat X only
If you have only one display, the Color Balance controls
can be used to set the color temperature of the single dis-
play.

Understanding Color Temperature
Different "Pure white" light sources do not always have
the same color. For instance, light from an incandescent
bulb is much more yellowish than light from direct sun-
light. "Color Temperature" is a way of measuring these
color differences. In general higher color temperature num-
bers are more bluish or "cooler". You may have a reason for
wanting your unit to be a specific color temperature. For
instance, if you are using the Bay Cat X in a television stu-
dio where you will be videotaping the content, you will
want a low color temperature. The default color tempera-
ture for the Bay Cat X is 8500k. This is the native color
temperature of the LCD panel. You may choose a different
color temperature by setting it in the Color Balance menu.
Adjusting Color Temperature
Select Color Temperature in the Color Balance menu
and select from 3200°K (Warm), 5500°K, 6500ºK, and
8500°K (Cool).
Each of these selects a set of White Balance values to
give the picture a warm (3200K) to cool (8500K) appear-
ance.
To adjust an array of Bay Cat Xs for Color Balance
The object of color balancing is to make the individual
units in an array show the same colors. When we see a yel-
low car move across a video array from one display to
another, we want it to have the same color for the whole
trip, not change from yellow to tan to orange.
The displays naturally have slightly different colors
from one display to the next, because of slight variations in
the backlights and LCDs. This cannot be avoided, but we
can compensate for it with color balancing.
Color balancing is subjective. It may seem strange at
first, but it gets easier with practice. Fortunately, you don't
have to match all the colors; you only have to match whites
and grays.
When you make all the displays look the same with
White and Gray, all the other colors will look the same. It is
not necessary to achieve a perfect white or a perfectly col-
orless gray. It is only necessary that all the displays look
alike when they display white and gray.
