Operation

Use the controls in the Picture Menu to calibrate the analog inputs on the PlasmaView VHD for optimum picture quality.

To calibrate the digital (HDMI 1 and HDMI 2) inputs, use the Display

Note Image controls in the Service menu. For more information, refer to Display Device on page 47.

The PlasmaView VHD 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 VHD Controller input separately.

When you change a picture quality setting, save the change to a preset

Note afterwards. Otherwise, the change will be lost when a different input is selected. (Picture quality settings are saved for each input separately.) For information about saving settings, refer to Memory Presets on page 43.

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, 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.

Brightness: On your external test pattern source, select a PLUGE pattern. (PLUGE is an acronym for “Picture Line-Up Generation Equipment.”) Figure 4-2shows a typical PLUGE pattern.
