JVC Autocal Software V12 calibration for 2019 RS1000/RS2000/RS3000/NX5/NX7/NX9

Oops sorry, I was thinking rs2000/3000, in your case it’s the HDR profile and there is no filter indeed. I expect you will still need high lamp in HDR.

Ok, thanks!

Yes it looks like it's discontinued. No idea when the Spyder X will be supported. Maybe Mike or Craig could ask JVC?

It is being looked at, along with a couple other meters.

Thanks Kris. Do you know if they had a look at my suggested improvements here: https://discuss.avscience.com/index.php?topic=1850.msg10385#msg10385

There are quite a few things they could improve in the software, along with supporting more meters...

Especially offering a correction matrix that would allow to correct any Spyder with a more accurate meter with the autocal software. If they supported the Calman matrix format, that would be great, we'd only have to copy the data from Calman into the Autocal, and we'd get spectro accuracy with any Spyder for gamma and color work. Even better if they could use the profile directly if we point to it. That way every time we update the profile in Calman, the Autocal would use the correct matrix automatically.

I've been playing around with autocal + i1 pro 2 for my NX7. 

When I do the gamma calibration, the d6500 is always around 6400k (100% Grey) and 6700k (50% grey).
Any tips on how to fix this? I just end up doing a manual calibration with HFCR since that seems to be more accurate.

Also, it seems that HCFR needs to use its own driver for the i1pro2? and that driver is not compatible with Autocal. Am I missing something here?

Make sure that you reset the color temp settings before running the autocal, otherwise they will be applied when the software runs a log post calibration.

Some software (HCFR, DisplayCAL) need specific drivers for the i1pro2, usually Argyll ones. You need to disable them in the control panel using software that use their own drivers, such as the JVC Autocal. This should be explained in the HCFR manual, otherwise please ask in an HCFR support thread.

There is no such issue with Calman or Lightspace as they use their own drivers.

Thanks Manni, the pj was never calibrated before and I have never changed the colour temp settings.

I had the same issue when I was calibrating my x7500 + spyder 5. Could it be that Autocal doesnt work well with ALR screen? I am using cinegrey 3d.

The Autocal works fine with my color neutral Carada BW.

Do you set the screen type to the correct code after calibration? I',m not familiar with your screen. If it isn't in the list, please get in touch with JVC, or experiment to try to find the closest one.

Also please confirm you've read all the posts in the basic section and all the tips, because there are quite a few situations covered there

[Set11]

I didn't use the screen adjustment code as the I1pro2 is facing the screen, so I assumed enabling the screen adjustment would just distort the calibration. 

Yes, I've read your guides : )

Another issue that I have is that I can never get the green to reach 100% rec 709. I always have a de of around 2-3 with my x7500 / N7. At first I thought it might have been a meter issue, but my i1pro2 also gives me the same result. So, again, it seems like my screen is causing the green deficiency? 

[Manni]

You are correct re screen type with the i1pro2 facing the screen, brain fart on my part, I was thinking Spyder 

The green deficiency is most likely a native gamut limitations. As long as your saturations track properly below 100% sat, you’ll never notice it in real content, so just ignore it.

You could try to use the filter for your rec-709 calibration (using a rec-709F custom profile as there is no factory profile that uses the filter for rec-709), but it’s probably not worth it if the dE is below 3.

It’s unlikely to be your screen.

[Set11]

Thanks for the reply

Yeah, I'm pretty happy with how the colours are tracking at the moment, so I'll leave it at that. 
I'll have another go at Autocal after another 100h or so.

Greetings,

The RS2000 has arrived...

Thanks to Manni for all of his hard work/input. I will be integrating the projector into my system over the next few days.

[Dylan Seeger]

Ralph, be sure to let us know your thoughts on the new projector here or in the RS2000 thread. Always good to have more and more owners discuss this unit here on the forum!

Hi Ralph,

You're very welcome and congratulations! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on your unit, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate!

Thanks to Manni's "Hide" method for checking black level, I found out that I raised it by using a positive value for RGB offset. Oops. 

Btw:

For gamma, I recommend selecting a 2.4 gamma (sadly 2.3 isn't an option, only 2.2, 2.4 and 2.6 are selectable). It would be great to have 2.3 and 2.5 as well,

Gamma 2.3 is available in custom gamma.

Of course! Thanks for the correction, I've updated the post
