Purpose

When blending images from multiple projectors, the measured color coordination values of each projector can be altered to a desired common level. This so that the projected colors are identical over all projectors used.

How to make an adjustment to a coordinate or temperature

There are two ways to make an adjustment:

1. Via values. To enter a value for specific coordinate or temperature, click on the up down control of the spin box until the desired value is reached

   or

   click inside the input field, select the current value and enter a new value.

   

   Note: To measure the coordinates of a color, use the test patterns of that specific color.
2. Via the color gamut. By drag and dropping the color points in the color gamut.

How to set the desired values

1. Select the desired Mode. Click on the drop down box and select the mode.

   

   The following modes are possible (modes can change per type of projector):

   • Custom RGB: 3-point color configuration. In RGB mode, the C, M and Y coordinates will be calculated automatically based on the R, G and B coordinates.
   • Custom RGBCMY: 6-point color configuration (both RGB and CMY). In RGBCMY mode, each color can be given a specific coordinate within the measured color triangle.
   • Custom White: Configure only the White point.
   • Native : Projector native color settings. All input fields are disabled.
   • Standard: A color specific for the projector.
   • DCI-P3: Color standard for Cinema.
   • SMPTE-C: American color standard for broadcasting
   • EBU: European color standard for broadcasting.
   • Rec. 709: Color standard for high-definition television (HDTV)

2. Configure the white point. Make your selection between Coordinates or Temperature. Click on the drop down box and select the desired setting.

   

   If coordinates is selected, the color temp field is blanked out and the coordinates for white are available for changing.

   If temperature is selected, the color temp field is activated and can be changed. The color coordinates for white are blanked.

   The values are automatically stored in the custom setting;

Color pattern selection

Click on the color buttons to select a:

• full white
• full red
• full green
• full blue

Click on the remove button to remove the current selected pattern.

Adjusting via the color gamut

Before using the color gamut point to adjust the color settings, make your selection in Custom for Mode and White point. Depending on that selection, or the 3 corner points or the white point become available for adjusting.

Adjusting via the color gamut

1. Check or uncheck the check box before Send data only on release.

   

   Checked: the new values will only be send to the projector when releasing the dragged point in the new location.

   Unchecked: the value of the new location will continuously be sent when moving the point.

2. Click and drag a point until the desired color value or white point value is reached.
