DVDO iScan Duo

Owner’s Manual Supplement

Date: 2/15/10

Firmware Version: 2.00 Build 051

This document provides additional information for the DVDO iScan Duo configured with the latest firmware. It is a supplement to the iScan Duo user manual.

1. Color Management System

This iScan Duo release incorporates several new features that can be loosely categorized as Color Management System. These features include Color Gamut Controls, Chromaticity Controls and Gray Scale Controls. The CMS features make the iScan Duo a useful tool for calibrating displays.

DVDO strongly recommends the use of a good colorimeter for display calibration.

The following sections describe new features.

Input Chromaticity

For accurate calibration of the display and the rest of the signal chain, it is important to correctly set the input chromaticity for the iScan Duo. Chromaticity in this case includes the color and white point values along the CIE (1931) color chart.

This new control is available in the Input Adjust menu.

Main Menu > Input Adjust > Chromaticity

By default the Chromaticity is set to ‘Auto’, which sets the chromaticity based on the input format. For example, if the input format is 1080p (HD), the chromaticity is based on BT.709.

The chromaticity can also be manually set from this menu, which contains standard profiles including RGBs/709, NTSC, PAL/SECAM, SMPTE-C, CIE1931, AppleRGB and Adobe 1998.

When the Chromaticity is selected, the ‘hint’ area of the on-screen display shows corresponding color and white point x, y values (red (xr, yr), blue (xb, yb), green (xg, yg) and white (xw, yw)).
