Can't get rid of the well known blue hump.

I get the best focus around 60.
On 50 ire i have about 110% blue then.
When i go down or up it goes to max 119% blue.

Hi,
Have you set blue midlights to Zero?
Try also blue breakpoint at 22, and slope at max -2.
I usually go + 6 or +8 from best focus.
Usually end up with blue bottom around 16, top around 68.

Did not make any difference.

OK, what is your Contrast and Brightness settings?

Well, that makes sense now - try 72 for contrast - you need to have more
power on the top end to straighten out the curves - and will still need to
redo the c/o and gains most likely....

My experience is the opposite. I see blue is saturating faster than red/green. Blue can not keep up with red/green
Defocusing blue electronically will help. Then you need to lower the red/green Gain/Contrast so the blue can keep up. This will have the effect of flatten the curves (improve grey scale tracking).
But here is the trade off, grey scale accuracy for light output. I have a light controlled room so I shoot for the best grey scale and contrast possible. But I can't watch with the house light on.

HI,
On a Barco, I have never had any luck at all getting good greyscale with lowered contrast settings -
always end up around 72-75 contrast, and 42 brightness....Other's results with other PJ's may differ.

What kind of foot lamberts are you getting with contrast at 42? (Check the 100 IRE 'Y' value for the measurements you saved above).
42 seems really low. Unless you're running a really small screen and/or a high gain screen it's probably considerably under 10 ftL, no?

72 for contrast is very high i think.
My screen is only 1m60 wide (62 inch).
Gain is 1 or 1.1 and using all new tubes.

Charles,
Out of many Barco setups, I have found the contrast setting relates to the shape of the response curve.
You are setting cut-offs and gains to get your bottom and top end, but I think you will discover
that the machine is tracking contrast settings to shape the gamma curves. If C=72 is too much,
try reducing the gains &/or try C=65 --- just try some different settings, and get some more data
points - I think you will find your way to a nice greyscale.....if you can be a little more flexible and
do some more experiments...I have spent hundreds of hours fiddling with these things, and have
observed exactly your results when Contrast is too low...
Regards,
Galen

I was getting 6 foot lamberts with contrast at 42.
Now i'm getting 14 with contrast on 60
