Main Menu The Main Menu is the starting point for accessing all PlasmaView functions. Some menu
options are available only in “Installer Adjust” mode.
Picture Use the controls in the Picture menu to calibrate your PlasmaView for optimum picture
quality.
The PlasmaView has been designed to incorporate setup and calibration standards
established by the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF). The ISF has developed carefully crafted,
industry-recognized standards for optimal video performance and has implemented a
training program for technicians and installers to use these standards to obtain optimal
picture quality from Vidikron video display devices. Accordingly, Vidikron recommends that
setup and calibration be performed by an ISF-certified installation technician.
All signal types require separate processing. Therefore, you need to calibrate each input
separately.
Although it may be possible to obtain satisfactory picture quality using the naked eye and
regular program material, Vidikron recommends using the following calibration tools for
best results:
• External test pattern source – Ovation Multimedia, Video Essentials or AVIA test DVD (or
equivalent).
• A blue filter (provided with many test DVDs), for color level and tint adjustments.
Connect your test pattern source to the input that you are calibrating and proceed as follows.
Perform the adjustments in the order listed here.
Brightness: On your external test pattern source, select a PLUGE pattern. (PLUGE is an
acronym for “Picture Line-Up Generation Equipment.”) Figure 4-3 shows a typical PLUGE
pattern.
