ENTER.

To adjust a setting, use the or button to highlight it and press ENTER. Use the or button to change the setting. When finished, press EXIT.

The Vision 15 has been designed to incorporate setup and calibration standards established by the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF). The ISF has developed carefully crafted, industry-recognized standards for optimal video performance and has implemented a training program for technicians and installers to use these standards to obtain optimal picture quality from Vidikron video display devices. Accordingly, Vidikron recommends that setup and calibration be performed by an ISF certified installation technician.

All signal types require separate processing. Therefore, you need to calibrate each input separately.

Although it may be possible to obtain satisfactory picture quality using the naked eye and regular program material, Vidikron recommends using the following calibration tools for best results:

•External test pattern source – Ovation Multimedia, Digital Video Essentials or AVIA test DVD or equivalent.

•A blue filter (provided with many test DVDs), for color level and tint adjustments.

Connect your test pattern source to the input that you are calibrating and proceed as follows.

Perform the adjustments in the order listed here.

Picture Memory: For each input, the Vision 15 lets you store picture quality settings as presets that you can recall at a later time. You can create up to three presets per input and resolution, to accommodate changing lighting conditions or viewer preferences.

To recall a picture memory preset, highlight Picture Memory in the Picture Adjust menu and press ENTER. Then, press or to select “Custom,” “ISF Night” or “ISF Day” and press ENTER again.
