Detect? As in actually measuring the specific systems brightness? Through Autocal perhaps? I doubt there is a hidden sensor in there...Right now, I might be able to find out, but really it will be a mute point in a month. Because by then, the projector will be able to detect the brightness for your specific system and optimize it accordingly.
Poor choice of words on my part. I should have said calculate. You enter screen diagonal and screen gain. Projector can take that info and the zoom setting in the projector to determine throw. Projector will use that info, along with lamp age and manual iris setting to determine actual image brightness. From there the projector will be able to optimize the HDR image for your specific setup.Detect? As in actually measuring the specific systems brightness? Through Autocal perhaps?

With Autocal 12 - the newest version (soon to be replaced) and the coming version 13 that will accompany the new firmware coming out in a month, you need a Datacal Spyder X and an X-Rite i1Pro2 (or equivalent - see below).Is it worth using the SpyderX for autocal? I just ordered a RS1000/NX5 to replace my 5040ub and wanted to calibrate it.
To be clear, is the i1Pro2 the i1Display? Or is it the $1400 unit?
Am I correct in assuming that the screen diagonal you enter is that of the Aspect:Auto 16:9 box, regardless of whether you also use Aspect:Zoom for scope films - or do you enter the 17:9 diagonal for lens memories that use Aspect:Zoom?Poor choice of words on my part.

Thank you so much for this breakdown. This makes a lot more sense. I'll keep my eye on ebay.With Autocal 12 - the newest version (soon to be replaced) and the coming version 13 that will accompany the new firmware coming out in a month, you need a Datacal Spyder X and an X-Rite i1Pro2 (or equivalent - see below).
1) You need the Spyder X to calibrate gamma (the black and white greyscale) because the i1Pro2 isn't sensitive enough at darker levels. The Spyder X is also a lot faster.
2) You want i1Pro2 to calibrate the color, because the Spyder is too variable from unit to unit.
3) The i1Pro2 is not the i1Display. It is the much more expensive unit - which is now discontinued and mainly available used. Amazon sellers still have it near that price point - used - but on eBay I got the OEM version, the EFI ES-2000, for $300 plus tax and shipping. The ES-2000 is not a clone - it's the same unit, complete with the X-Rite logo and "i1PRO Rev. E" (its other name - search for all three names on eBay to find the best price) on its serial number panel on its bottom.
The EFI is detected by Autocal and DisplayCAL as an i1Pro2.
If you have a 16:9 screen you use the diagonal. If you have a scope screen, you use the width of your scope screen to calculate what the diagonal is for a 16:9 screen of the same width of your screen.Am I correct in assuming that the screen diagonal you enter is that of the Aspect:Auto 16:9 box, regardless of whether you also use Aspect:Zoom for scope films - or do you enter the 17:9 diagonal for lens memories that use Aspect:Zoom?
And by "manual iris" you mean what you set it to as your maximum iris before turning on the Dyamic Iris?
When will you receive your projector? You are going to love it.Thank you so much for this breakdown. This makes a lot more sense. I'll keep my eye on ebay.
I’m putting aside all my fav films until this new update arrives.yep I heard itit does not rely on metadata....
and the low medium hight... are to be considered as auto low, auto medium & auto high...just to give opportunity to "season to taste" as Chris says...
Should be here by Tuesday/Wednesday. I'm hoping it'll be a large difference vs my 5040UB. The whole limited bitrate thing started killing my enjoyment on the Epson. (I know I know, I could do MadVR, etc). DTM on the JVC Sealed the deal for me.When will you receive your projector? You are going to love it.![]()
I use a 17:9 area of my wall, painted with Cream & Sugar Ultra, a paint recipe from Home Theater Shack consisting of equal parts Valspar flat white latex and Basics silver acrylic paint. It's an 0.93 gain screen. I use maximum lens zoom and set the JVC to Aspect:Auto for anything narrower than 1.85:1 and Aspect:Zoom for everything else. No anamorphic lens.If you have a 16:9 screen you use the diagonal. If you have a scope screen, you use the width of your scope screen to calculate what the diagonal is for a 16:9 screen of the same width of your screen.
Yes, projector uses the manual iris setting to help determine light output. I did not mention, but if you use an A-lens, Theater Optimizer also will take that into account.

Yes this is it.
Yes, the difference in PQ will be significant and less tweaking is required, based on my transition from the 6040UB to the JVC NX. Enjoy it.Should be here by Tuesday/Wednesday.
