7 Optimising the picture
The projector has power features for picture optimization. This chapter describes details in 
using these features. All color calibration is done using projectiondesign’s proprietary Real-
Color™ solution.
7.1 Calibration data
All projectiondesign projectors are measured and calibrated with high precision equipment at 
the factory for the best out-of-box experience. Over the lifetime of the\
 lamps the characteris-
tics of the projector might change slightly. The same applies when replacing lamps.
7.1.1  Updating RealColor™ calibration data
For accurate results with the RealColor™ system, accurate measurement data is required. 
RealColor™ calibration data can be found under the menu entry PICTURE\
 > CALIBRATION > 
REALCOLOR CALIBRATION > MEASURED VALUES
X, Y and relative luminance values for red, green, blue, white and BrilliantColor™ 1 is entered 
in this menu. The BrilliantColor™ should all be set to 0.000 for the \
VizSim (RGBRGB) color 
wheel. All values can also be updated using the communications protocol over RS-232 or 
LAN.
IMPORTANT! Before setting these values, it is important to select the desired Brilliant-
Color™ setting. Go to menu entry PICTURE > REALCOLOR > BRILLIANTCOLOR\
 to 
select the desired BrilliantColor™ look.
Measurements must be done on the built in test patterns. This is in particularly important for 
the BrilliantColor™ 1 test pattern since it is impossible to generate this pattern correctly using 
a computer source. In the user menu these patterns can be accessed through PICTURE > 
CALIBRATION > REALCOLOR CALIBRATION > CALIBRATION TESTIMAGE. Use the arrow 
keys to cycle through the images.  
NOTE! Performing a factory reset of the projector will restore the measured v\
alues to the 
values measured in the factory.
NOTE! When measuring data, a high quality measurement instrument is highly re\
com-
mended for accurate results. Spectrometers (like PhotoResearch PR-655)\
 are preferred.
TIP! For an easier calibration procedure, automated calibration can be achie\
ved using 
projectiondesign’s software package ProNet. A license for the calibra\
tion software pack-
age of ProNet must be purchased separately.

7.2  Working with RealColor™
7.2.1 Setting the BrilliantColor™ correctly
The BrilliantColor™ setting is used to control how color boost is applied in the image. It can 
operate in four modes:
•	 Computer	Native	(Default):	This	give	max	brightness	and	color	boost.	Recommended	for 	
non-video applications, like CAD and visualization.
•	 Computer	Balanced:	Gives	the	same	brightness	as	Computer	Native,	but	has	a	less	ag-
gressive color boost profile.
•	 Video	Native:	Gives	less	brightness	than	computer,	but	will	appear	with	significantly	less	
noise in video content.
•	 Video	Balanced:	Same	brightness	as	Video	Native,	but	with	a	smoother	color	boost	
profile.
•	 Off:	Only	recommend	for	applications	requiring	a	pure	red,	green,	blue	mix	of	colors.	No 	
secondary color or white are added to the mix.

7.2.2  Gamma
The projector features a set of 6 built in gamma curves: Film 2.2, Film 2.8, Video 1, Video 2, 
Computer 1, Computer 2. The different gamma curves are displayed below.
TIP! The names of the curves are descriptive for their recommended use. Use \
any of the  
computer curves for video applications will results in significant ima\
ge noise.

7.2.3  RealColor™ operating modes
Before any color correction is applied to the image, the feature must be enabled. Go to menu 
entry PICTURE > REALCOLOR > COLOR CORRECTION to enable RealColor™.
RealColor™ can operate in 3 modes:
•	 Color	temperature/white	point	correction	only.
•	 Red,	Green,	Blue,	White	correction.	In	this	mode	optimal	color	coordinates	for	Cyan, 	
Magenta and Yellow will be computed automatically.
•	 Red,	Green,	Blue,	Cyan,	Magenta,	Yellow,	White.	In	this	mode	color	points	and	intensity 	
for each color can be manipulated separately.
To change the RealColor™ mode, please go the menu entry PICTURE > REAL\
COLOR > 
DESIRED VALUES > DESIRED COORDS MODE.
7.2.4  Setting a white point or color temperature
After enabling RealColor™, set the color temperature in the menu entry PICTURE > REAL-
COLOR > COLOR TEMPERATURE. Values between 3200K and 9300K can be selected. 
These color temperatures are tracking the “black body curve”- the black curved line in the 
center of CIE Chart in Figure 7-7. The default is the D65 illuminant at 6500K. 
Figure 7-7.  CIE Chart with the black body
The white point can also be set to a custom value defined by an x, y c\
oordinate not linked to 
the black body. Go to menu entry PICTURE > REALCOLOR > X-COORDINATE and PIC-
TURE > REALCOLOR > Y-COORDINATE to change the white point.

7.2.5 Defining the system color gamut
All colors visible to the eye are defined by CIE Chart in Figure 7-7. The boundary of the colors 
the projector can display is called the system color gamut. The white triangle\
 in Figure 7-7 is 
an example of a system color gamut. By default the projector has the widest possible system 
gamut, which is limited by the color wheel selected for the system. The \
VizSim color wheel 
has the widest color gamut and the High Brightness color wheel has the s\
mallest.
IMPORTANT! The system color gamut cannot be expanded outside color gamut  
defined by the color wheel.
It may be desirable to change the system color gamut of the projector to:
- Color match multiple projectors.
- Meet defined color standards, like REC 709.
- Create a special “look” to the image.
Before the system color gamut can be change the desired RealColor™ mode has to be  
defined. To change the RealColor™ mode, please go the menu entry PICTURE > REAL\
-
COLOR > DESIRED VALUES > DESIRED COORDS MODE.
RealColor™ has to be enabled for the desired system gamut to be applied. Go to menu entry 
PICTURE > REALCOLOR > COLOR CORRECTION to enable RealColor™.
After RealColor™ is enabled and the desired color correction mode is selected, please go 
the menu entry PICTURE > REALCOLOR > DESIRED VALUES to change the color points to 
the your desired system color gamut.
TIP! For graphical visualization of the system color gamut and easy color management for 
a single or multiple projectors, the ProNet software package could be us\
ed. A license for 
the calibration software package of ProNet must be purchased separately.\

8.2 Lamp replacement
The LAMP indicators on the keypad will turn red when lamp life expires. 
Change the lamp when lifetime expires. Always replace lamp with the same type and rating. 
USE ORIGINAL LAMPS ONLY.
The lamp includes an electronic lamp timer that is tracking the life time of the lamp.
Allow lamp to cool down before changing. One lamp may be changed while the other lamp is 
operating (hot-swap).
Release the screw (LAMP 1) or (LAMP 2) depending on which lamp that needs to be re-
placed.
 WARNING! Be careful not to touch the protective glass when replacing the 
lamp house, this may cause the protective glass to overheat and break 
while in use.
 WARNING! Be extremely careful when removing the lamp module. In the 
unlikely event that the bulb ruptures, small glass fragments may be 
generated. The lamp module is designed to contain these fragments, but 
use caution when removing the lamp module.
A Open the lamp lid(s).
B Turn the three locking screws a quarter turn anti-clockwise.
C Pull the lamp out.
D Replace with a new lamp in reverse order.
E  Insert a new lamp. Observe the guide pins.
F  Turn the tree locking screws a quarter turn clockwise.
G Close the lamp lid.
H  Turn the locking screw clockwise.
