Title: What Colorspace should I aim for
Post by: Fraza44 on February 19, 2021, 03:25:49 PM

All,

    It's been a while since I calibrated a projector and I have kept up with what's what when it comes to all the new standard related to 4K and BT2020.

After doing some basic reading I'm not sure what colorspace I should calibrate my projector.  I'm I suppose to still shoot for Rec 709 or are we trying to hit higher color spaces like DCI-P3, BT2020.

My projector is a Barco Sim 10 with 4096x2400 rez and I'm using a Panny 4K HDR Bluray player, Video processor, and HDFury Integral.

I really need some help and guidance with getting back into the calibration game.  Also some of the calibration gear I have is the i1Pro and Display3 Pro II along with ChromaPure Version 2.5.8 and Calman 5 Enthusiast for Home Video version.

Semper Fi  and thank you for any input

Andre

The target colour space will depend on the source material you are playing.

If playing SDR videos, Rec709, with a 2.4 EOTF/Gamma.
If playing HDR, then Rec202, with a PQ EOTF, using multiplier to deal with the difference in peak luma.

There are no 'consumer sources' that are P3.
(Some LUT Boxes/HTPC systems will map from the Rec2020 HDR source down to P3 pre-displaying the image...)
