JVC Projector
CalMAN Setup Guide
CalMAN is able to control most JVC projectors to automatically calibrate the projector’s grayscale,
gamma, and CMS. The automatically controlled JVC projector models are:
DLA-RS40/RS50/RS60; DLA-X3/X7/X9
DLA-RS45/RS55/RS65; DLA-X30/X70/X90; (also XC388/XC788/XC788, RS480)
DLA-RS840
DLA-RS46/ RS56/RS66; (also X35/X55/X75/X95, RS48/RS4810, XC3800/XC5800/XC7800/XC9800)
The calibration characteristics of these projectors are a bit different than many other video displays, so
caution needs to be taken to use the proper procedure to accomplish the superb calibration that
CalMAN is able to achieve with the JVC projectors. This setup guide assists you in accurately calibrating
one of the above JVC projectors with any of the CalMAN advanced workflows that provide both
Grayscale/Gamma AutoCal and CMS AutoCal calibration.
Recommended CalMAN Workflows:
HT Advanced Calibration
SI Advanced Calibration
ISF Calibration
Required JVC Projector Firmware:
All JVC firmware is acceptable.
JVC Projector Control Connection:
1. Connect CalMAN to the JVC projector with a female to female null-modem serial cable (reverses
connections between pins 2 and 3 from one end to the other).
2.
Set the projector’s Function/Communication selection to ‘RS-232C.’
JVC Internal Test Pattern Generator:
JVC projectors provide internal calibration test patterns. CalMAN can automatically control the JVC
internal test patterns when you connect CalMAN, on its Source Settings tab, to the ‘JVC – RS/X Internal
Patterns.’
Note
: If you wish to use the JVC internal generator, CalMAN needs to be connected to the projector with
an RS-232 serial connection.
Also, if you use the projector’s internal test patterns, you must still have an active video signal connected
to the projector and selected. Otherwise, the projector’s internal adjustment processing will not function
during the CalMAN AutoCal process.
If you use a Quantum Data 780 test pattern generator, set the generator’s ‘Hot Plug Formats’ selection
to ‘Off’
