When calibrating a system comprised of a 9500LC, Moome and Radiance XS+ I'm curious about the hierarchy of adjustments.

For example, would the G2 drive be adjusted prior to any of the XS+ CMS controls?
Is the gamma boost adjustment on the Moome card still necessary and if so, when would that be adjusted?

Hello

Start at the start, confirm that the filament voltage is at spec 6.35v, then magnetics, confirm appropriate throw distance, tube pivot, H size near 90, rasters centered in the phosphor, lens focus, G2s and color temp, grab beer and then............watch something

Tim-

I'm looking for a little more detail on the specifics of adjustment on the Moome and Radiance and how all of the pieces fit together. I'm already up an running but would like to really dial things in now. As you know, I'm gunning for a Radiance XS+ but would like to know how all of this works in harmony.

Thanks,

Justin

Hi Justin,

The best way i found to do the calibration with that combo is to set the moome's Gamma completely off.
I now use the Marquee control program to do the calibration of Just the PJ. I hooked up my BD player directly
to the PJ and used the AVCHD 709 Disc using 30% and 100% make sure you keep the same color space out of
the BD player as you plan to go out of the XS. The reason you use 100% is because the Radiance will need to have the head room
for 80-100 of the PJ. Jim from Lumagen and Scotti at Spectracal both suggest using 100% when using a VP in the chain.

I like using the Marquee Program better than the remote because it keeps the menus off screen and does not contaminate
the readings at all. its a pain to hit the mute button to close the menus as you will loess track of where you are. With the program
its much easier and you get more resolution in the adjustment controls.

Once you get 30 and 100% down hook up the radiance and calibrate as you normally would.

I first use the remote the turn the screw clockwise for about 20-25 turns. Counterclockwise is what adds Gamma boost IIRC.

Nash-

What do you mean when you say "30% to 100% and same color space from BD Player"? I don't have a BD burner therefore the free AVCHD 709 From AVS site is not an option. I was hoping I could use the DVE BD.

Sorry to jump in..

Nashou66 What Gamma do you shoot for?
Iv always liked my Display Gamma at 2.35..

I have my lumagen Radiance set to 4:2:2 out + Dither set to off then the Radiance is supposedly ment to output 4:2:2 @12 bit
but the Moomie V2 12 bit LED doesn't light up, With the above settings does any one with A Radiance get the Moome 12bit LED to light?

Jase..
