Ok with a projector it could be useful as you described, but with a TV it is at it´s best useless.

I click on "Continuous Measures", Oops I forgot to go into settings and un-check "Prompt for Pattern change" (Or whatever the exact wording is.) Its a PITA to have to go back and forth to settings. Really, "Continuous Measures" should only prompt for the correct pattern once anyway. Think about it, if you're doing continuous measures of one value, you won't be changing the pattern. Prompt once, if checked, and then just measure. Also, why have the prompt at all for single measure? If you're going to do a single measure, you probably know to put the pattern up first? The only place it makes sense to have Pattern Prompts is when you're running a series of measurements. Then, it's absolutely necessary for the disc guys. There's really no need for a prompt with single or continuous measurements, it just makes things more cumbersome then.
Thanks!

Is there any word on this? I emailed SpectraCal tech support as well and got no answer.

We are busy working on 5.1 right now, it's release will be sometime in Q1 2013. Hopefully we'll be able to address this, but there are quite a few new features we are working on, but I believe we can help you with it.

Good to hear Joel.

Incidentally my C6 / Colormunki combo works fantastically now thanks to your accurate 'hot plug' diagnosis. I really have been impressed by the effort you and your Team put into apparently 'one off' problem occurrences.

We all feel that our opinions and sometimes unique problems are being listened to.

Interestingly enough most of our support emails/calls are not about calibrating or CalMAN. But are about OS issues, device drivers, cabling, firmware’s, etc… But who are you going to call on for those issues. So we feel it our responsibility to support all issues related to using CalMAN. We have had this opinion since day one because LA and I know what it is like to be on the other end of a support issue with someone that does not care.

Hi,

I have a new JVC DLA-X75R(RS56) projector on the way and was wondering when CM5 will support autocal for the new JVC projectors? JVC does have autocal software available but only supports Spyder4 meters.

I believe CM supports the JVC projectors from the RS40 on.

So, if the the new RS56/X75 and RS66/X95 are not listed in the autocal list which model would you pick for the process?

Hmm.. they're not listed? I'd ask SpecraCal. I thought the protocols were the same with the new pj's, but that's just an assumption. I would think they'd have to support the new models. It would be very strange to drop support for such a popular series.

Derek is already working on it. And NO, the protocols are not always the same and you CANNOT select one of the former JVC projectors as alternative.

I wished it was that easy.

But each year around this time I spend some 300-400 hours updating or adding new control code for the processors, projectors and displays we support. More makes and models each year. Kind of fun I get to see and play with all the prototypes before anyone else does.

Anyhow once we have support for the new JVC's in and tested we will let everyone know.

Thanks Derek,
I will probably calibrate one of user modes then when the autocal is complete see how good I am. smile.gif

Hi Derek,

Must admit I've not had any problems regarding my VP hardware support but when it comes to Displays or Blu Ray's it's a different story.
Seemingly as soon as the next model is introduced the previous ones are forgotten about and instead of speaking to support personnel it is a sales person with virtually no technical knowledge.

My Colormunki / Spectracal problem was solved totally by Spectracal, maybe that's how it should be but frankly contacting Xrite did not enter my mind but I doubt they would have had a clue about how I could resolve the problem anyway.

There again I did not try so perhaps my criticism would have been unfounded.

I have an i1D3 and would love to try this software, but it is just not in my price range. Is there student/edu pricing available?

$149 is to much?

yup, that is what I will plan to use, was just seeing if there was student/edu pricing as many companies offer. Looks like they also had a sale last year before the super bowl, will keep my eyes open!

How much did you spend on the meter that you're only going to use once or twice?

Tough crowd, was merely asking a question. Got the meter for less than $150, which is tangible and I can resell. Just wanted to have a user friendly way to tweak my Vizio, will play the the free alternative.

Happy New Year!

Can anyone shed any light on what affects the 75% gray reading that Calman measures during the gamut calibration?

I believe that is what is used for the white luminous reading. The Colors at 75% stimulus should be the same brightness as the 75% white.

Nobody wants a low-cost meter that's much older than new because they know the meter is aging and getting less accurate over time. So don't expect much for the meter if it is re-sold.

Can anyone confirm what aspects of a calibration autocal will do on a UK GT50?

Both grayscale and gamut work on the GT50. There is a still a bit of an issue having to set brightness and contrast to default before running autocal, but we are working on that.

When I calibrate IRE from 100 to 65 my C6 is going little crazy with the RGB.
Not much but still crazy.

Before the latest update 100 - 65 was OK, but then it was 65 - 55 IRE who got crazy.

I think it's a bugg in the software, I hope they fix it.


But CalMan 5, just rocks so.

Don't like the results from the C6 - will only profile off an i1Pro. What Menu Option are you picking for the Meter? Meter was crazy originally because I made the wrong Menu choice.
