Hi,

I recently bought a set of HD-144 and the Joust adaptater kit. I am very pleased with it except that the colours balance doesn't seem right anymore. The picture has too much red, I think. Except the change of colour temperature in the Barco menu, I don't know where I can change the levels of red, blue and green more accurately and separately.
I have a HTPC with Powerstrip and ZoomPlayer (Dscaler+ ffdshow). When I try to change the gamma of the red with Powerstrip, the whole PC picture is changed except the picture of the movie played by ZoomPlayer Sad.
I read stuff about cutoffs values but I don't know what it is and where it is in the Barco menu.
Do I need to change the G2 values ?

gain and cutoff are in the color adjust menu if memory serves.

gain is the basically the amount of that color in white, cutoff is basically the amount of that color in just above black.

G2 would not be redone on an 808 because you don't do it based upon the light output at the screen but based upon an internal circuit (i.e. that little LED does not know you put on filtered lenses).

OK thanks, but how do you change red, blue and green levels through these cutoff and gain values ?

I don't understand the question, could you clarify.

Enter the adjustment menu on your 808

Select random access

Then picture tuning

Then color balance

Now cursor down to custom White and custom Black levels

Hit enter on custom White and Black balance and write down your settings levels for future reference.

In the custom white and black balance menu you can adjust Red and Blue light output relative to Green with Green being a constant.

Also read Kals thread.

The Red and Green filters in the HD-144's really throw the balance off but I think you will like what you see when you get the color balance correct Wink
