Operation 36
Adjusting BrilliantColor™
Highlight BrilliantColor™ in the PICTURE menu and select by pressing / on
the projector or remote control.
This feature utilizes a new color-processing algorithm and system level
enhancements to enable higher brightness while providing truer, more vibrant
colors in picture. It enables a greater than 50% brightness increase in mid-tone
images, which are common in video and natural scenes, so the projector
reproduces images in realistic and true colors. If you prefer images with that quality,
select On. If you don’t need it, select Off.
On is the default and recommended selection for this projector.
Selecting a color temperature
Highlight Color Temperature in the PICTURE menu and adjust the values by
pressing
/ on the projector or remote control.
There are four color temperature* settings available.
1.
T1: With the highest color temperature, T1 makes the image appear the most
bluish white than other settings.
2. T2: Makes images appear bluish white.
3. T3: Maintains normal colorings for white.
4. T4: Makes images appear reddish white.
*About color temperatures:
There are many different shades that are considered to be "white" for various
purposes. One of the common methods of representing white color is known as the
“color temperature”. A white color with a low color temperature appears to be
reddish white. A white color with a high color temperature appears to have more
blue in it.
3D Color Management
In most installation situations, color management will not be necessary, such as in
classroom, meeting room, or lounge room situations where lights remain on, or
where building external windows allow daylight into the room.
Only in permanent installations with controlled lighting levels such as boardrooms,
lecture theaters, or home theaters, should color management be considered. Color
management provides fine color control adjustment to allow for more accurate color
reproduction, should you require it.
Proper color management can only be achieved under controlled and reproducible
viewing conditions. You will need to use a colorimeter (color light meter), and
provide a set of suitable source images to measure color reproduction. These tools
are not provided with the projector, however, your projector supplier should be able
to provide you with suitable guidance, or even an experienced professional
installer.
The Color Management provides six sets (RGBCMY) of colors to be adjusted.
When you select each color, you can independently adjust its range and saturation
according to your preference.
If you have purchased a test disc which contains various color test patterns and can
be used to test the color presentation on monitors, TVs, projectors, etc. You can
project any image from the disc on the screen and enter the 3D Color
Management menu to make adjustments.
