I agree about the clip pattern, and will update in next release

regarding the dynamic range patterns, I just checked and Calman 5 does request 255,255,255 at 109% and since as he also says 108% is 253,253,253, this will explaine that the luminance is higher at 109% despite still not displaying 255,255,255

I will remember to bring this up when we incorperate the disk in to calman
i guess the real question will 255 be displayed as 254? (i will need to test this.)

what would happen if you encoded 109% as 254,254,254? I know the AVS disc does that for its grayscale patterns since they are labeled as "109% (254)"

my Samsung LED-LCD shows clipping at 109% with the current CalMAN 5 version (a5.0.0) of the GCD disc and I'd like to figure whether it's a display issue or a pattern issue (254 vs. 255 for the 109% pattern)... 253 is flashing on the white clipping pattern, so that level is not being clipped on my display

I had a request to add power law gamma targets to the GCD spreadsheet. New version uses gamma entered on tab1 to calculate power law L values on tab 2.

thank you zoyd,

first post updated with latest version
post #575 of 608
I came across this thread looking for small window patterns to use with my plasma. Nice work visca.

I ran a comparison using GCD window patterns and AVCHD709 window patterns for grayscale and found the gamma levels were lower on the GCD disc, 2.26 vs 2.35. I used the DVD versions of both in my Panasonic BD655 BlueRay player on a Pioneer 151hd plasma, using a i1Display Pro profiled against a i1Pro, in HCFR.

The RGB, color level, and gamut were very close.

Is this difference in average gamma significant enough to be concerned about? Is the difference intentional, or is there something in my equipment causing this?

Thank you for your work.

vega509, did you compare the Small APL from AVS and the APL (1%or 10% ?) from GCD ?

What is your plasma ?
post #577 of 608
This is one hell of fantastic work. Thank you visca.
latest mkv version was my dream (as Im calibrating from my usb hdd) and now dream comes true. I like sweep patterns - it saves me lot of time.

I have not as yet, I may this weekend.

Pioneer 151HD is the one I"m working on now, and a Panasonic 50PZ80.

I did a quick touch up on my 151FD, almost 1 year after my last calibration. Very little has changed on the panel, light output is down slightly.

I ran 4 GS and Gamut readings back to back in HCFR, (Calman 4.5 was acting up and disconnecting the i1Display pro for some reason). I used both AVCHD and the GCD discs, both APL and windows for comparison to see what effect the different patterns would yield.

There are some notable differences in peak light output and average gamma.

HCFR files.zip 7k .zip file

All 4 runs were different more than I would have expected from normal variation in the set. Which is correct? I don't know for sure. I'll calibrate with each of these 4 patterns and watch some reference material and see which looks best to me.

Really Brutal Newbie Question.

I have downloaded GCD b4_3_13_AVCHD and have it on my desktop. I originally selected the BDMV folder and burnt it to a disc, but this won't play for me....Do I need to select index.bdmnv or MovieObject.bdmv and burn that to a disc?

Hello guys,

i want generate image patterns (0..255) of saturation colors (all levels). In the first post, exist a spreadsheet with all RGB values, but this values is in 16..235. Can i expand this values?
eg.:
RED 75L/75S
165,60,60 expand to 173,51,51

other:
YELLOW 75L/50S
178,178,121 expand to 189,189,122

This is correct?


Other question, how this RGB values were calculated? In the spreadsheet, this values are absolute and not formula.

Thanks for attention and sorry my bad english smile.gif

I gave an example in post 2 on the steps to calculate different saturation points. It depends on what gamma is assumed and the values in the spreadsheet are for gamma=2.2.

regarding the 100% luminance I'm talking about CMS work.

if you are calibrating to 100% luminance (again CMS work) either disk will work, then its just a matter of what pattern size you prefere.
if you are calibrating to lets say 75% luminance I would use AVSHD7090with calman reason why:

in calman for Red 75saturation/70% luminance it expect 180,64,64 this will give you the correct x,y values but not the correct amplitude (I.E. 75%) to get the 75% Amplitude it would be 167,60,60. Again this is not wrong but all about how the software work. GCD was at that point build for Chromapure. But as I said I am working with Calman so GCD will be incorperated


Is there anyway to correctly do saturation sweeps with the GCD a5.0.0 currently?

Using 25% Saturation intervals (25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%) and 75% Amplitude?

Does the "saturation targets use constant luminance" check-box have anything to do with it?

Perfect, I wish I had known about this.

I have verified the RGB's and you should be good to go.

Thank you. smile.gif

Is there any chance of a Calman release in mkv format?

Both right. The 12pt triplets match the 12pt patterns and the 24pt triplets match the 24pt patterns. The reason different values were used for 24pt was because these are the values that CalMANv5 uses to calculate targets.

post #593 of 608
I noticed on my tv GT30 that it does not like the 10% APL patterns at 20-40 ire. As the blue RGB bar falls under 90%.

I checked the normal 10% 20-40 ire patterns and there fine and its what i used for my last calibration.

I also checked the avshd709 apl patterns in the 20-40 ire and they checked out fine, its only the GCD 1% and 10% apl 20-40 ire patterns that give me issues as i have been dying to try these patterns out.

I have an old and a new version of GCD along with a mp4 and still issues.

My meters are i1D2 and a brand new colormunki display.

There is nothing inherent in the patterns that can cause a color shift.

Can you post the gray scale tracking you measure from the GCD 10%APL and the AVSHD large APL patterns with your colormunki?
post #595 of 608
Ok,here is my calibrated rgb graph in 10%standard windows followed by the GCD and AVS APL's (Using colormunki display and a panny BDT310 set to default)

Calibrated GCD 10% Standard window ( nice linear tracking from 20-100)


GCD 1% APL ( Blue reads 79 at 30ire and 40ire reads at 85.52)


GCD 10% APL (Blue reads 95 at 30 ire and 20ire flew out the window)


AvS Lg Apl


AVS Sm Apl



If you see the GCD APL's under reads blue from 20-40 ire and the AvS read blue higher due to pattern size and light output as expected.

Don't know what you mean by "flew out the window" here, it looks like that at 20ire red/blue are a little high and green a little low.

The 1%APL is interesting and I will check the patterns to make sure, but it looks like a real effect generated by your display since it holds on from 30-50%

I meant that it read blue kind of high around 108%...

I would say 20,30 and 40 ire on both apl sizes on GCD show weird annomalies with the blue on my display...The standard 10% are just fine as I got a good calibration out of them..

I just wanted to try the 10% apl as many have recommended for plasma with abl...Thanks Zoyd.

Chad B measured a similar shift on a GT30 when using the GCD APL patterns relative to other patterns and below are some comparisons on my Samsung. In general the GCD patterns induce the display to produce more blue at levels below 40%, anywhere from 2-5 dEu'v'. So for calibration purposes the question is then which of these patterns better represents the state of the display during actual video content? I would argue that the GCD patterns do because they stimulate the display at typical average input levels (22%) over a typical average luminance range. Whether or not you can see the difference during actual video content between say a 10% window based calibration vs. a GCD APL calibration is also a relevant question. Imagine you are watching a movie and at any instant the 10-30% levels of the grayscale within that image have a blue component which is +/- 5% off, would you see it?

Visca can you give any details on the re-design of the new calibration disk , patterns etc. What will be changing? what's the status on a beta. What is going on ?
