JVC Calibration Software V6 For 2015 Models (X9000,X7000,X5000,RS400,RS500,RS600)

Quick high level question... before more deeper questions.
For 4k BT2020 (which is inherently not HDR, apparently you formally need to say BT.2100 for HDR but most people just go with BT2020 HDR?), the same gamma curve as rec.709 is used.
However, on my RS500 when BT.2020 is selected I no longer get 2.2 / 2.3 / 2.4 gamma options. Instead of I get normal a, b, c, d. I'm certainly familiar with D, so let's ignore that.
Is "normal" the standard defined BT2020 gamma for JVC?
Thanks

JVC projectors use “BT.2020” to refer to the colour profile (chromaticity) only. The EOTF/Gamma is specified independently.
Normal is the same as Gamma 2.2.

I just realized I don't have any windows machines in the house any longer.
To check whether I should go buy a vm program, to run autocal on my macbook, to address any gamma droop I have, using autocal, I should be able to reliably measure the gamma using HCFR on my mac, right?
And that measurement will give me a good sense of whether I have a gamma droop that needs to be addressed, right?

HCFR on Mac is really old. Not sure what meters it supports.

I think it only supports Spyder 2, Spyder 3, and the home-brew HCFR probe.
Calibration Sensor Confusion. Hi, gentlemen (and ladies). I'm calibrating my x790r after replacing the bulb and burning in for about 70 hours. I'm a bit confused about the placement of the sensor (Spyder 5). Autocal software is V10. In the past, the instructions were to place the sensor about 1 foot away from the screen with the sensor aimed at the screen. In doing so, the sensor would show up near the left hand edge of the autocal "box". V10 of the Autocal software tells me to place the Spyder 5 so that the sensor faces the Projector. Yet the screen image seems to show the sensor (the wide part with the 'grill') facing the screen. I ran the calibration for HDR (with the sensor facing the projector as instructed by the text), both Gamma and Color, and the image looks good. Am I missing something?

All versions of Autocal (7-10) using Spyder5 have it face the projector. The SpyderX and i1Pro2 face the screen.
Thank you, Dominic. I figured you'd have an answer 😉 Mele Kalikimaka

Hcfr? Yes I've only tried with the Munki.
This Spyder five is the one Chad used with the autocal Way back when.

Yeah after a very long gap between calibrations and setting up the iPro instead of the spyder I was confused too but just used it facing hte screen and ended up with a much better result then facing the lens.
Hi, I calibrated my RS400 yesterday, with a datacolor spyder 5.
first for regular blu ray material
(rec 709NF, gamma normal, iris 0, -5, -10, -15, cmd = off)
much better image now and colors also come across much better.
Then tried to perform a calibration for SDR - HDR 4k uhd material.
(rec 2020NF, gamma normal, irirs 0, -5, -10, -15, cmd = off)
when checked, the colors turn out to be completely wrong. red = orange, blue = purple?
can someone help me with what went wrong?
incorrect settings?
As source use is APTV4 and panasonic UB9000 via vertex2
just HDR profile all on (11) and sometimes sony lldv bt2020 profile.
Thanks for the help

You cannot calibrate both 709NF and 2020NF unless the lamp power setting is different; otherwise the second calibration will over-write the first.
As for the wrong colours, you need to post the calibration log to see what the issue is.

You don’t “need to” calibrate both 709NF and 2020NF in low lamp, as calibrate one will automatically calibrate the other.
For all the Mac users out there, I wanted to share an approach to getting Arve's tool running with plotting. It seems the current version of python-tk on the Mac is broken with the latest Big Sur update. To be clear, Arve's tool works just fine -- as long as you don't want to plot anything. If you want to plot and see what the curve really looks like, read on.
Basically I've got a dockerfile that creates an Ubuntu 18 instance, installs Arve's tool from GitHub and then runs it. The plots appear on your Mac using XQuartz.
Without going into the nitty gritty, here's what you need to do
1) This only works if you have Docker installed.
2) Install XQuartz on your Mac if it isn't installed already. This is an X11 server. You can find it here XQuartz
3) After it's installed, launch it, go to preferences, then security, disable "authenticate connections" and check "Allow connections from network clients".
4) Create a folder somewhere. This folder is where your Arve's Tool install will exist. This is also where you'll place any curves you create.
5) Copy the dockerfile (attached below) in that directory. The Forum wouldn't allow me to upload it, so it's just pasted at the bottom.
6) cd into that directory. If you haven't realized it yet, this requires you have familiarity with Terminal.
7) Build the container using "docker build . -t jvc:v1"
8) Run the container using "docker run -v $(pwd):/local -it -t jvc:v1"
9) You will then see the Arve Tool menu. Use the tool as normal. If you want to test plotting, type "ga" and then type "p"
Here's an example. As a starting point, I've already created a directory called "arve", I've placed the dockerfile in it along with javs 4000 curve.
