I am surprised how few vids on projector calibrating there are. Much like REW was for sound, i think this is the next tinkering phase for many of us home theater hobbyists. Would love to see a video guide through doing this on a projector (epson) that don't have auto cal features. And yes, I know I can pay 500 bucks and get a real calibrator in to my home. I can also hire a mechanic to do my cars, repair my house and build my furniture, but even knowing it might me cost me more, its my sanity break for my real job... I like to learn and fiddle with this stuff. Far more satisfaction than just signing the check.

And this was a well done video that hit the highlights of calibration whilst demonstrating the benefits. People with PJs that do not have cal software may choose from a number of programs such as the Spyder used in this video.

@nicko880 3 жыл бұрын

Well it's not so much that you calibrate modes like that. You just need to understand what Autocal adjusts. It adjusts the base calibration tables of which for an NX7 there are 4 gamma tables, and 16 color tables. The combinations for the tables are as such: For gamma, it's the 4 combinations of the 2 bulb modes, and 2 color filter modes. For color, it's the same as above, except add in the combination of 4 manual iris ranges. The ranges are 0 to -3, -4 to -7, -8 to -11, and -12 to -15. So you just need to make sure that the base gamma and color table have been calibrated for the mode settings you are actually using. So lets say for SDR you use low bulb, no wide filter, and iris -5. Easiest to autocal that would be to set your projector into a mode that uses those settings. So just use your SDR mode settings as we lists, and run a gamma+color autocal. Then for HDR lets say you use high bulb, frame adapt HDR, wide filter on, and iris position 0. Since you are using a different bulb mode and a different color filter mode you need a new gamma calibration for this. And you definitely need a new color calibration for this since for the same reason, but also because the iris is in a different group range. You can;t calibrate in Frame Adapt mode, but you don't need to. Simply set up a mode that uses this combination of settings and it will become calibrated. So set up a User2 mode for example with high lamp, BT2020 Wide color profile (this engages the wide color filter), and iris position 0 and then run another gamma+color autocal. So now when you go to your actual HDR mode that you use (Frame Adapt) it shares the same base calibration tables that you just calibrated because it shares the same bulb mode, color filter mode, and iris group position as a mode that you calibrated.

Great video. Thanks, youthman and Nick! Question - I have a 2.40:1 scope screen, and it's normally stays in the same 2.40:1 lens memory, since I have a madVR Envy Pro. The Autocal software asks what is the screen size, but it doesn't ask what the screen's aspect ratio is. Do I enter the diagonal of my 2.40:1 screen? Or what would be the diagonal of a 16:9 screen that has the same height (or width) as my 133" 2.40:1 screen (which I think is 140" 16:9 screen)?

Thanks for a great video. But I wonder what my settings should look like in N5, if I want to calibrate both sdr / hdr in low lamp mode at the same time? If I have Iris in different position, two calibration? Thanks Mikael

@nicko880 3 жыл бұрын

Just run an autocal with the projector in each iris and lamp mode combination that you use for SDR and HDR.

FYI, "color temperature" for example 6500K from what I understand does not equal 65,000. "K" is a unit of measure that is expressed in Kelvin expressed by the symbol K. K is not a multiplier of the values displayed on the calibration software charts.

Yes I meant to say 65 hundred and instead I accidentally said 65 thousand.

Just wanted to thank you guys for this tutorial. Inspired me to get a SpyderX and do my own calibration on my RS2000. Did this 5 minutes ago, could not have gone smoother and I doubt that I destroyed anything. Image looks great but that is probably confirmation bias. I only did a gamma adjustment. After all the very negative back and forth on doing color I skipped it. But of course, now I am wanting to go further. I am assuming that the file saved to my documents folder is both the original gamma AND color even though I have not touched color. Asking in case I go the full Monty and don’t like it. Do I restore to that first original file? Great tutorial

@nicko880 3 жыл бұрын

The file with Init in the name is the stock calibration settings. You can restore it at any time. I really think you get better results than stock with a Spyder. The red is just so low on the NX projectors out of the box.

No, for older JVC units like your RS500 you must use a Spyder5. For something even older, a Spyder4. My AVS username is SirMaster.

No, this autocal software is only for JVC. No other projector has an autocal feature, and covering a manual calibration process would take some background understanding and an hours long video that would take several days to shoot.

Great video Youthman and Nick! I am contemplating between the NX7 vs the new Sony 715es. Does the Sony provide similar options to calibrate from a DIY standpoint? I was leaning towards the Sony as people rave about their cinematic experience. Any recommendations, Youthman?

@nicko880 3 жыл бұрын

Unfortunately Sony doesn’t have an end user autocal software. IMO it’s a big plus for JVC. For a Sony calibration you will have to perform a manual process, adjusting the various calibration menus in the projector. Fortunately Sony has great calibration controls included.

have a RS1000 with about 300 hours on it and I just bought a spyderx pro. My screen is 100” 16:9, throw is 16’. Low lamp for both SDR and HDR. Iris SDR= 14 HDR= 10 1) If I want to do just a gamma cal. do I have to run two calibration because of the different iris settings? 2) if I do a color cal. I believe I would have to do two calibrations correct? 3) When is the initial file saved after running a calibration or when saving a calibration? Thanks for you help!

@nicko880 3 жыл бұрын

1) No, there are only 2 gamma tables to calibrate on the RS1000, 1 for low lamp and one for high lamp. 2) Yes you need to do 2 color autocals because iris position 10 and 14 are in different iris calibration table groups. There are 4 color calibration tables for iris groups. 0-3, 4-7, 8-11, and 12-15. And then there are 4 again for the other lamp mode so 8 color calibration tables in total. 3) It's saved after you save your first autocal result to the projector.

Love these videos! I looked up the spyderX on Amazon and it states that you'll need the elite model for projectors. You used the pro version , but it worked for you. I have an older jvc (x550r) and it has the same recommendation for the spyder5. Anyone know why the pro version worked for the projector?

@nicko880 2 жыл бұрын

Because the Pro and the Elite are the exact same meter. We are using JVCs Autocal software to do the calibration, which connects to and reads from the meter. The only difference between the Pro and Elite is an artificial software limitation in DataColor’s included calibration software (which for JVC Autocal you don’t use or install at all).

@Youthman 3 жыл бұрын

I had the 5040UB before upgrading to the NX7. No comparison. NX7 has much better color science, ridiculously dark black levels and higher contrast. Add Frame Adapt and ability to Autocal, the JVC is hard to beat. The epson is brighter but at the cost of black levels, and contrast.

It can definitely be used for other products, the question is does your product support it. Like JVC has software built into their projectors that can take the data that is measured from the SpyderX and use it to adjust settings within the projector

@chrisvanover7817 3 жыл бұрын

So if you don't have a JVC projector and want to use it on another projector or a TV does the company that makes the Spyder Pro have software similar to the JVCs?

@nicko880 3 жыл бұрын

I would recommend using free software called HCFR and DisplayCAL for calibrating other displays. Autocal is strictly a JVC feature and no other projector brands that I know of offer anything similar. But also if you are doing manual calibrations, I would look at an X-Rite meter such as an i1 Display Studio or i1 Display Pro Plus as they are more accurate and more flexible for general calibration. The main reason to use the Spyder here is because it is the only colorimeter compatible with JVC autocal.

@JonPeterson 3 жыл бұрын

Do you normally run in a mode that isn’t the “Frame Adapt HDR” mode? I found calibration was awesome when viewing my PC screen on the projector, but my Apple TV looks best in frame adapt HDR. Thanks for the video and for sharing your experience!!

@nicko880 3 жыл бұрын

You can't actually run JVC autocal in the Frame Adapt HDR mode, but that's not really how autocal works anyays. Autocal calibrates all picture modes, (SDR and HDR) all at once. Really the differences between them is just some math once you have proper measurements. You just need to re-run autocal for each combination of bulb mode, wide color filter, and manual iris position that you will use on the projector, and autocal will end up calibrating each mode since autocal updates the base calibration tables in the projector itself. I.E. the proper white balance applies to all color modes, all gamma curves are mathematically calculated from autocal measurement, and same thing for the different color gamuts. I have measured the other gamma curves and color gamuts after a single autocal and they were all similarly accurate after so long as you remain in the same bulb mode, color filter setting, and manual iris position.
