Calman 5 + C6 + Radiance Mini 3d calibration help please - Page 3

You don't need to do any of that, we can set all of that directly.

Just connect to the radiance and work from there.

If you need someone to walk you through it try calling up support. It'll be much easier to have a conversation about it.

You will need to do a base calibration on the display, which will require a bit of knowledge on how calibration works (Steps 2 and 3 in the workflows). After that it's just go to the Calibrate RGB Balance and click AutoCal, go to the Calibrate 3D Cube and click AutoCal.

if there can be a custom XML file - or whatever format you support - that one can edit by defining a series of custom triplets and these will then be verified in color checker, that would be it... this would allow complete control of the verification of the cube...

So far what I am seeing with Calman Beta 1092 are trade offs for LUT cube calibration using the above tools. It seems to me that the Gamut is promising but the Grayscale is not.
What I am seeing is to much of a "Clay Face Effect" and loss of depth, among other things.

I am not all that interested in what any tests are telling me, for the simple reason is that I am not going back and tweaking a 125 point Gamut or even a 21 point GS. Once you start tweaking, imo you are probably going to degrade some other setting/s. Yes when doing a 10 point GS and a 6 point Gamut I would always tweak, but the LUT cube makes this very difficult and really not a option.

At some point you run into bit issues.

If you are measuring tiny dE's, then that's the truth, you are that close to the intended values. But as you add more correction, processors start to run out of bits.

What we do is no different than what you would do through the UI to get the lowest dE's from point to point. If for some reason you would opt to go with a higher dE because the correction starts to create artifacts, that isn't something that can be detected in software.

Yes there is no question I need to play with calman 1092 or when it comes out 5.1. Anyway I have just run a LUT cube using only my I1Pro 2 so there is no profiling involved, just to see if there is a problem with the profiler or or C6. .
Calibration for GS (21pt) took about 17+ min, Cube took about 27+ min. Understanding that there are no raw numbers that are shown, it is hard to tell what is the differences are until I view some test patterns and video.
However if I just go off of the RGB ballance chart, then there is less variation with RGB in the lower IRE's.

Update, Just using the I1Pro 2 and the LUT cube/21pt GS there are the same old problems in the lower IRE's. So imo there is no question that using the I1Pro to profile my C6 is the way to go.

It also seems that using Beta 1092 take a little getting use to or needs time to fully work its way into my LT. Did a LUT Cube last night took 20 min, 21pt GS took 10 min. For what ever reason my report was showing 0 IRE at .002. Also calibrating my VT50, the calibration seems to come out better using Custom mode rather than ISF mode.

Joel, Since CalMAN 5 can measure any color point, a good idea is to add an External Application, like the Level Editor, can be called for example as Color Checker Editor, using that tool to custom add any RGB Triplet we want to measure
