JVC have been providing automatic calibration software for various models of their D-ILA projectors. Each projector model requires a specific version of the calibration software; see the list here which I have summarized in post 2:
The software is very effective in compensating for the drift and aging of the projectors' internal components, in particular the lamps and the D-ILA panels. The main limitation of the software is that they support only very specific meters (see post 2), many of which have now become obsolete.
Software developer Steven D. ([email protected]) has come up with a replacement DLL that allows additional meters to be used with the JVC software. The DLL is based on ArgyllCMS, so in principle any meter supported by ArgyllCMS can be used; see the list here:
The software is currently (as of December 2020) still in alpha status. Note that the JVC software has a Log Only mode which reports the measurements of the projector's grey-scale and Primary/Secondary colours without performing the actual calibration, so you can test it without any risk.
The download link is:

EDIT 2020-11-22: Software developer @OMARDRIS has developed alternative patches that uses the x-rite software development kit (x-rite SDK) instead of ArgyllCMS. Supported meters are the i1Display Pro (i1D3) colorimeter and i1Pro/Pro2 spectrophotometers. Additional DLLs are available for Klein Instruments and Jeti meters. See:

This thread is intended only for this aspect of Autocal, and is an information thread, not a support thread. I'm assuming you already know how to run Autocal with the officially supported sensor. Additional discussion threads on JVC Autocal:
Autocal for 2015 models; most of the information is applicable to other recent models of the e-shift projectors:

This post will be updated when further details are available.

There has been interest expressed by several members about this feature but the forum has been remarkably silent in its replies. When Cine4home did a 'whats new' technical review of the X series in 2012 it included a section about the feature and said: 'We are excited to see how well the...
