3D Color Management

In most installation situations, color management will not be necessary, such as in classroom, meeting room, or lounge room situations where lights remain on, or where building external windows allow daylight into the room.

Only in permanent installations with controlled lighting levels such as boardrooms, lecture theaters, or home theaters, should color management be considered. Color management provides fine color control adjustment to allow for more accurate color reproduction, should you require it.

Proper color management can only be achieved under controlled and reproducible viewing conditions. You will need to use a colorimeter (color light meter), and provide a set of suitable source images to measure color reproduction. These tools are not provided with the projector, however, your projector supplier should be able to provide you with suitable guidance, or even an experienced professional installer.

The Color Management provides six sets (RGBCMY) of colors to be adjusted. When you select each color, you can independently adjust its range and saturation according to your preference.

If you have purchased a test disc which contains various color test patterns and can be used to test the color presentation on monitors, TVs, projectors, etc, you can project any image from the disc on the screen and enter the 3D Color Management menu to make adjustments.

To adjust the settings:

1.Go to the PICTURE menu and highlight 3D Color Management.

2.Press MODE/ENTER on the projector or remote control and the 3D Color Management page displays.

3.Highlight Primary Color and press / to select a color from among Red, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, or Magenta.

4.Press to highlight Hue and press / to select its range. Increase in the range will include colors consisted of more proportions of its two adjacent colors.

Please refer to the illustration to the right for how the colors relate to each other.

For example, if you select Red and set its

 

range at 0, only pure red in the projected

For example, if you select Red and set its

value at 0, only the saturation of pure red will be affected.

Saturation is the amount of that color in a video picture. Lower settings produce less saturated colors; a setting of “0” removes that color from the image entirely. If the saturation is too high, that color will be overpowering and unrealistic.

6.Press to highlight Gain and adjust its values to your preference by pressing / . The contrast level of the primary color you select will be affected. Every adjustment made will reflect to the image immediately.
