The Design and Photo? If so they are fully supported in Control and Enthusiast with no additional licensing needed.

If you are talking about DDC in calman 5.1 for ISF settings then no they can not . I am guessing you are talking about the same type of Gamma controls that are in custom mode.

btw, beware the RGB (grayscale) default settings in Calman 5.1 are still a little off.

The DDC control default settings in Calman 5.1.

I think that's what you are asking about.

Look at the RGB adjust DDC window in Calman, all default settings should be the same as the points. Example 20 should read 20 for Red, Green, Blue and Luma. However in the lower light settings Green will read 20.5 or 30.5 ect.

btw, the work around for that is to use the reset all, but I would still check all the DDC pages.

Is Sony ever going to allow DDC using Calman? Were they asked to, but opted not to?
The list of displays that allow this are still relatively short. I would like to see Sony and Epson allow this.

You would probably have better luck getting quick help from the Spectracal site. AVS is unaffiliated with Spectracal and there's no guarantee that Spectracal will ever read a message posted here. They have been very active here but there's no obligation on their part.

It's not up to Sony. It's up to Spectracal to devote the programming resources to the project.

Thanks.
I have been thinking about selling my Duo because I am afraid it will not be compatable with 4k and I know I will be getting a 4k projector at some point.
I don't want to keep the Duo too long and lose its resale value. I also know that as soon as 4k is more mainstream on tv's that I will end up with one whether I want 4k or not.
I sure will miss the Duo's CMS though.

Is this the setting I asked to be defaulted to a more reasonable value (non-zero)?

Actually, it requires both Sony and Spectracal to make it work... Sony has to provide a control interface that accesses calibration controls directly through (preferrably) a USB connection (isn't it time we get rid of RS-232? I mean that's 1980s tech and computers typically don't even have RS323 ports any more, you have to use an external adapter). If the TV has no direct interface capability it can't use DDC. Once Sony TVs have the remote control interface, the documentation of how to use the interface would have to be provided to Spectracal. Once that is done, THEN Spectracal could create a control interface for those Sony TVs.

From the original poster's "Is Sony ever going to allow DDC using Calman" I thought it sounded like the hardware interface already existed in the Sony.

I have an HX929 and there is a serial adapter on the back, but I don't know what it is for... Greater minds please chime in...

The default is 0.5, but once it's been set to 0 it doesn't reset.

Yes some Sony's have a serial control interface for automation. Like turning it on, switching inputs, basic mode selection. But nothing to do with calibration. Trust me if it did or Sony would add it we would support it. Same goes for any other manufacturer.

After a debate on the ChromaPure Forum of 11 Point AutoCal versus 21 Point AutoCal, and that there is virutally no difference in the results between the 2. Did my own tests tonight.
11 Point - Flat across from 10 to 100, and across the 2.2 Gamma.
Scanned the results now with a 21 Point scan - not so flat anymore! Peaks and Spikes in virtually all the 5 areas, Definitely not in alignment with the 10 Point Spots!
Did the 21 Point AutoCal: now the results were a lot more linear!
Please keep the Calman AutoCal able to do the 21 Point. Takes longer, but I like the results better!

It could be how they do the 10-point. If you had previously run a 21-point did you reset everything before doing the 10-point?

From what Spectracal was telling me, if I remember right, each time you do an AutoCal, it automatically clears out any previous results.

Good to know. I certainly don't want to try a DCC Reset again! I thought it reset only the currently selected memory, but it reset all the other memory slots too. What a pain that was! I don't know if this was a CalMAN bug or if it is supposed to reset the whole device. But in any case, I'll never try that again no matter what.

With the Radiance it only resets the current CMS# memory as indicated on the same window where you click the DDC Reset button.

I don't know exactly what gets reset when you start an Autocal in your workflow, but there are controls to reset just the current item in the DDC menus (eg: RGB balance or CMS) so the same should apply depending which step you are on in the workflow.

Grayscale autocal resets all the grayscale controls before starting.
