Re: Projector Calibration

2010-02-12 by bstevent

Thanks for the suggestions.

I think I've done (almost) all of this so am still looking for a solution.

Summary:
- the SX80 is set to the sRGB mode
- the images have been converted to sRGB
- all colour settings were returned to defaults before building the profile (using the reset option in the menu -- I checked and all were at zero settings)
- the projector was using the Canon supplied profile (without adjustment) before running Spyder2Pro

Questions:
1. What are OSD defaults? (I'm assuming that the reset option does this)
2. Would using a Spyder3 give noticeably better results?
3. You suggested that manually adjusting the projector (running with the Canon supplied profile?) prior to building the profile may help -- that's opposite to the advice on page 45 of the Spyder2 user guide which advises using factory defaults. Can you explain further?
