Sharp Elite DDC Picture Controls:
Sharp Picture controls are available within the CalMAN software, allowing you to make display
adjustments in the software, rather than using the display’s remote control. On those calibration
workflow steps where you need to make a manual display adjustment (e.g. Brightness, Contrast, etc.),
you can open the CalMAN DDC panel to make those adjustments from the CalMAN screen. On the
Display Settings tab, click the Open DDC Window button, then scroll to the Display Controls panel to
access the display adjustments.
Sharp Elite Display Calibration:
Intelligent Variable Contrast (local dimming) needs to be turned off for calibration of the display. Once
the display has been calibrated, Intelligent Variable Contrast can be turned back on, if desired.
CalMAN AutoCal:

Prior to CalMAN Grayscale AutoCal, set the display’s Contrast control to 80.

When AutoCal is complete, reset the Contrast control to the optimum setting previously
determined on the Dynamic Range step.
Color and Tint:
In the ISF mode, the Sharp’s Color and Tint controls are disabled in CalMAN, since the Colorbar test
pattern is a three color tool that doesn’t work properly on a four color display (RGBY) such as the Sharp.
