Free KuroReader Software for Pioneer KRP-500M, KRP-600M, PRO-101FD, PRO-141FD

• ISF Gamma - Displays ISF 9 Point RGB gamma settings in a table format. Note that the Kuro's display will go blank (like it does when switching AV modes) twice for about ½ second each while reading ISF Gamma. Also, reading gamma adds 3 or 4 seconds to the standard settings retrieval time. This option can be turned off if desired.
• PC Source Picture Settings - Now capable of displaying settings for Component, Analog-RGB, DVI, and HDMI inputs configured as PC (personal computer) or RGB sources. (The previous version disconnected from the display when a PC/RGB source was detected.)
• Input Signal - Displays the resolution and refresh rate of the input source.
• Input Setup - Displays the current input's signal type and color-decoding/color-space (e.g., "Video/RGB16-235) configuration.
• The combined information of Input Signal and Input Setup provides the user with the key parameters necessary to determine the non-ISF memory associated with a given input source (provided that Auto is not selected).
• Input Name - Added the input name (Video, Component, DVI, HDMI 1, etc.) to the displayed input number.
• Removed the stars from the Model Name and improved other setting descriptions and groupings.
• Dynamic forum Code and Table formatting tags - These can now be added and removed before or after the settings are read from the display.
• New default Settings page (with blank values).
• Kuro Web Control Tabs - New tabbed user interface provides a centralized control panel for direct access to the Kuro's built-in Remote, Picture, ISF, Options, Input, Network, E-Mail, and Service web control pages - without using Internet Explorer, Favorites, or typing URL's. A page Refresh button is available for these tabs. The web control pages will work even when KuroReader is disconnected (as long as the correct IP Address is in the IP textbox).
• ISF Web Control Improvements - KuroReader modifies the ISF page behavior to prevent it from closing itself and opening the Remote pop-up window. The behavior of the Exit, Exit Without Save, and All Clear buttons have also been modified to always exit ISF mode cleanly and prevent a user from accidentally erasing all ISF memories. (You can still access the standard ISF interface using Internet Explorer if you want to erase all ISF memories). Note: NA KRP models require the "patch" to use this interface. Also, the built-in ISF interface has limited controls and is best used for tweaking existing ISF memories.
• Progress bar - Shows activity when reading settings data from the display.
• Exit button - Moved to the top of the form.
• ToolTips - Popup help for specific buttons.
• Resizable Settings Windows - To display large setting pages and Web Control forms.

• Operating System: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7
• Microsoft .NET 2.0 or higher
• Display: Pioneer KRP-500M, KRP-600M, PRO-101FD, and PRO-141FD
• A Pioneer monitor properly configured and connected to a LAN or WLAN.
• You must know your Monitor's IP Address to use KuroReader

• To share settings on AVSForum in a standard format that follows the On-screen Picture Menu layout.
• The 9G monitors may lose non-ISF settings when you exceed the Picture memory slots available, so it is nice to have them saved to a file with a Date and Time stamp.
• There have been some reports of lost ISF settings on some models which is particularily tragic if you paid a Pro and don't know what they are (and you can't see all the ISF settings from the User menu).
• You are curious as to what the hidden settings are in Dynamic and Optimum modes.
• You want to see what the default settings are for non-ISF modes are without actually resetting them. (The display will return default values when it is in Standby mode).
• You are an excessive tweaker and want to save your settings to a file in case you want to go back to them later.
• You want to paste the settings into the Calman or HCFR calibration notes or comments box rather than type them manually while you stumble through the Kuro's menu with the remote.
• You want a single simplified user interface to all of the Kuro's web control interface pages without using Internet Explorer.

1. Select the ISF tab.
2. Select the Input from the drop down list and press the Set button. Do this even if the display is already on that input.
3. Select the ISF Mode (Auto/Day/Night) and press the Set button. (Tip:Try creating Day mode first if you have trouble initializing other modes.) The page should refresh and display your current or the default settings. The display should show the 2 line on-screen ISF information.
