you arrive at
as
you
work
through
the
calibration,
or
you can download
and
print
a larger version from
our
web site (www.spearsandmunsil.com) .
If
your
player has
a setting for
output
color space, start by setting it
to
4:2:2
Y'CbCr
(sometimes just
called "4:2:2")
and
write your calibrated numbers in
the
center
of
the form
under
the
4:2:2 column,
as
you work
through
the following steps.
If
your player doesn't
have a color space setting,
or
doesn't have a 4:2:2 color space
as
an
option,
use
whatever
column
seems closest,
or
write
in
whatever
your
player calls it. Later
you
can come back
and
write down the calibration settings for the
other
color spaces,
if
there are
other
spaces available
and
if
they are different.
Set the Initial Contrast
It's a good idea to start by setting the contrast to a reasonable value
that
doesn't clip
the highlights. This ensures
that
other
patterns
and
adjustments will be accurate
and
not
thrown
off
by clipping.
Start by bringing up the
Contrast
pattern
using the Blu-ray remote. Bring
up
the
display's
Contrast
control (labeled "Picture" control
on
some displays) using
the display remote.
If
you haven't already
written
down
your
current
Contrast
control setting, write it
down
now. Try raising the contrast control all the
\\'Tay
to its
highest setting. You will probably see
many
of
the
on-screen white bars blend
into
the background
and
disappear. You
may
also see a subtle color shift in
the
white
background.
In
addition, check the color channel clipping boxes along the
top
and
bottom
of
the screen.
When
the contrast
is
set
too
high, you will
not
be able to see
a small darker colored box in the middle
of
each
of
them.
Now
reduce the contrast
control until the highest bar
is
just barely visible,
and
you can see a small darker
box
in
the center
of
each
of
the colored boxes at
the
top
and
bottom
of
the screen.
If
you
can't make the highest bar visible,
or
make a small darker box appear
in
one
or
more
of
the
colored boxes,
no
matter
how
low the contrast goes, lower the bar
until
as
many
bars
as
possible appear.
Now
find the highest-numbered bar,
and
raise the
Contrast
control until
that
bar disappears,
then
lower it
one
notch, which
should
make it appear again.
If
not, lower slowly, a
notch
at a time, until
that
bar
becomes barely visible.
