OPERATION
However, if you require extra color temperatures, you can also add up to five custom color
temperatures - four "Custom" and one "Infinite Adjustable"-by defining them within the Color
Balance Setup menu (each defaults to 6500K until then). Any "Custom" or "Infinite Adjustable"
temperature created here is immediately applied, or it can be selected at any time from the Image
Adjustments menu as usual, regardless of your source or channel. The Color Balance Setup menu
options are described below.
NOTE: For best results, use an internal grayscale test pattern when working with color balance.
SET COLOR BALANCE - See Color Balance Setup Menu above. Upon opening the Color
Balance Setup menu, the current temperature appears as the top option. You can change to a dif-
ferent color temperature here as desired, just as in the Image Adjustments menu. Note that if you
select a "Custom" color temperature, the "White Level" options further down in the Color
Balance Setup menu are no longer disabled-you can adjust them as desired to define or change a
"Custom" color temperature (see "White Levels", below). Likewise, selecting "Infinite
Adjustable" here activates the "Infinite Adjustable" slidebar for defining or changing color tem-
perature.
INFINITE ADJUSTABLE - Select this option if you need a specific color temperature that lies
somewhere between one preset color temperature and another. Adjust the slidebar to define a new
temperature that will be adjusted from the neighboring presets (for example, 7841 is interpolated
from 6500 and 9300). It can be used any time and appears as a 4-digit temperature when present.
WHITE LEVELS -These 3 controls are adjustable only if a "Custom" choice is selected (in
which case "Custom 1, 2, 3 or 4" appears at the top of the Color Balance Setup menu). Their cur-
rent values are shown for the active color temperature. Changing a white level here changes the
drive (contrast) for that color, essentially creating a new color temperature that is "warmer" or
"cooler" etc. When you are satisfied with the new "Custom" temperature, it can be used immedi-
ately upon exit or it can be selected from either the Image Adjustments menu or the Color Balance
Setup menu as usual. You can re-define a "Custom" color temperature at any time using the Color
Balance Setup menu.
DMD ENABLE - Select which color or colors you want to see, useful while working with color
temperature white levels.
