Calibration

Calibrating the display devices in your entertainment system optimises your equipment to provide the highest level of performance and return on your investment.

Calibrations are performed by an experienced Imaging Science Foundation (ISF) Certified calibrator who is also an Electronic Engineer and understands the technology behind your display.

Calibration can also include adjustments to the focus, convergence, black level, gamma characteristics and other factors depending on the type of display. We are experienced in the calibration of all modern display technologies including LCD, DLP and Plasma from major manufacturers.

The basic process for display calibration involves the use of a colour sensor to measure directly from the screen of your display. Various Test Patterns are then shown on the display and adjustments are made in the User and Service Menus to adjust your display to match industry standards and provide the highest level of performance within the capabilities of your display. At the completion of the calibration, a report is created recording the final values and measured performance for your reference.

Calibrating a display to these standards ensures you see exactly what the Director intended. A calibrated display appears natural, lifelike and is ‘easy’ to view. Most significantly, the natural appearance greatly improves the immersion effect that you strive for when purchasing a display for your Audio Visual System.

Display devices in your Audio Visual System are the last link in a carefully managed chain that begins on a Movie Set or TV Production studio. Directors and Cinematographers spend millions getting the ‘look’ just right for their final content. Fortunately Movie and TV Production is engineered to standards for Chromaticity, Colour Temperature and Gamma. Unfortunately most consumer displays do not reproduce these standards well without individual adjustment to account for manufacturing variations and the characteristics of your source equipment.
