10.Pick a display next to the baseline display, above, below, or to the side. This will be the variable dis- play. Turn on the Color Balance menu for this variable display by pressing ENTER. Be close to the display to do this so only this one display has the Color Balance menu showing.
11.Match the brightness of this variable display to the baseline display.
•Match brightness first. Move the selector arrow to White Balance – All.
•With the left key, reduce the brightness until it matches the baseline display.
•Select the individual colors and adjust the amounts of Red, Green and Blue to achieve the best match in color and brightness to the baseline display.
12.When the first variable unit matches the baseline unit, it becomes another baseline unit. Turn off its Color Balance menu with Hide Menu.
13.Choose another variable unit next to any baseline display, turn on its Color Balance menu, and match its white to any baseline display.
14.When all displays match in white, change Test Pattern to Gray so all the displays show an inter- nal gray pattern.
15.The gray values range from 0 to 15, and they are all now set at 7. Therefore, gray can be adjusted up and down. Choose a display that has a middle brightness and that has very little color in gray. This becomes the first baseline display for gray. It does not have to be the same as the baseline unit used for White.
16.Proceed as before, matching the grays one display at a time. Always work with adjacent displays.
17.When all displays match in gray, turn off the test pattern on each display.
Copy to Clipboard will save all the current settings to a temporary memory. You can then make more adjustments to see if it gets better or worse. Recall from Clipboard will restore these saved settings. The clipboard is only for testing. These values are not saved when AC power is off.
While color balancing, change the White value by a lot, not just one step. It’s difficult to see one step in White. A large change will tell you if you are heading in the right direction.
If you can’t decide which way to go or how to get this cube closer to the others, try any change. If it is the wrong change, it will be quickly obvious, and you can go back. Use the clipboard.
Color Balance values are saved for all input sources in the same memory location. Color Balance is the same for all sources.
