Operation 36 Vidikron Vision Model 10/Model 12 Owner’s Operating Manual PREL IMINARY Picture AdjustUse the controls in the Picture Adjust menu to calibrate your Vision 10/12 for optimum picture quality. The Vision 10/12 has been designed to incorporate setup and calibration standards established by the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF). The ISF has developed carefully crafted, industry-recognized standards for optimal video performance and has implemented a training program for technicians and installers to use these standards to obtain optimal picture quality from Vidikron video display devices. Accordingly, Vidikron recommends that setup and calibration be performed by an ISF certified installation technician. All signal types require separate processing. Therefore, you need to calibrate each input separately. Vidikron recommends calibrating the Vision 10/12 inputs in the following order: 1. Component 1 / Component 2 2. S-Video 3. Video 4. RGB-HD 5. DVI Although it may be possible to obtain satisfactory picture quality using the naked eye and regular program material, Vidikron recommends using the following calibration tools for best results: External test pattern source -- Sencore VP401 Multimedia Video Generator, Ovation Multimedia test DVD or equivalent. A blue filter (provided with many test DVDs), for color level and tint adjustments. Cinema FillC-FILLA 2.35 image is stretched anamorphically in both directions to fill a 16:9 image. Table 4-1.

Operation Vidikron Vision Model 10/Model 12 Owner’s Operating Manual 37 PREL IMINARY Connect your test pattern source to the input that you are calibrating and proceed as follows. Perform the adjustments in the order listed here. Brightness: On your external test pattern source, select a PLUGE pattern. (PLUGE is an acronym for “Picture Line-Up Generation Equipment.”) Figure 4-5 shows a typical PLUGE pattern. Figure 4-5. Typical PLUGE Pattern for Adjusting Brightness PLUGE patterns vary but generally consist of some combination of black, white and gray areas against a black background. The example above includes two vertical bars and four shaded boxes. Select Brightness from the Picture Adjust menu. Using the left- and right-arrow ( ) buttons, adjust the brightness so that: The darkest black bars disappear into the background. The dark gray areas are barely visible. The lighter gray areas are clearly visible. The white areas are a comfortable level of true white. The image contains only black, gray and white (no color). Below Black Above Black
Operation 38 Vidikron Vision Model 10/Model 12 Owner’s Operating Manual PREL IMINARY Contrast: On your external test pattern source, select a stepped, gray-bar pattern like the one shown in Figure 4-6. Figure 4-6. Typical Gray Bar Pattern for Adjusting Contrast Select Contrast from the Picture Adjust menu. Using the left- and right-arrow ( ) buttons, adjust the contrast to a point just below which the white rectangle starts to increase in size. Color Saturation: On your external test pattern source, select a color bar pattern like the one shown in Figure 4-7. Figure 4-7. Typical Color Bar Pattern for Adjusting Color Saturation and Tint Brightness and contrast controls are interactive. A change to one may require a subtle change to the other in order to achieve the optimum setting. Note gray yellow cyan green magenta red blue
Operation Vidikron Vision Model 10/Model 12 Owner’s Operating Manual 39 PREL IMINARY Select Color from the Picture Adjust menu. While looking at the color bar pattern through a blue filter, adjust the color saturation level until the outermost (gray and blue) color bars appear to be a single shade of blue: Tint: Tint or “hue” is essentially the ratio of red to green in the color portion of the image. When tint is decreased, the image appears redder; when it is increased the image appears greener. To set the tint, select Tint from the Picture Adjust menu. While looking at the color bar pattern through a blue filter, adjust the tint level until the cyan and magenta color bars (on either side of the green bar) appear to be a single shade of blue. 1. Like the brightness and contrast controls, the color and tint controls are interactive. A change to one may require a subtle change to the other in order to achieve the optimum setting. 2. Color and tint controls are not available on the DVI or RGB-HD inputs. gray yellow cyan green magenta red blue Note
Operation 40 Vidikron Vision Model 10/Model 12 Owner’s Operating Manual PREL IMINARY Sharpness: “Sharpness” is the amount of high-frequency detail in the image. To adjust sharpness, select Sharpness from the Picture Adjust menu and press ENTER. On your external test pattern source, select a pattern like the one shown in Figure 4-8. Adjust as needed, looking for white edges around the transitions from black to gray and different sized lines in the “sweep” patterns at the top and bottom. Lower the sharpness setting to eliminate them. Figure 4-8. Typical Test Pattern for Adjusting Sharpness Gamma: The Gamma control determines how gray shades are displayed between minimum input (black) and maximum input (white) for all signals. A good gamma setting helps to optimize blacks and whites while ensuring smooth transitions for the “in-between” values utilized in other grays. Unlike brightness and contrast controls, Gamma allows you to lighten or darken the overall tone of your images without changing the extremes. All images will be more vibrant while still showing good detail in dark areas. The default Gamma setting is appropriate for most typical home cinema environments.
