If I run an autocal with BT2020 (filter on), does it mean using a mode with the DCI-P3 filter would also be autocal'd since it is also a filter?
Just to confirm, should I be setting as follows?GPU - RGB/Fullmadvr - 16-235JVC proj - 16-235
This is highly unusual.First, the brightness control should allow you to get the blackest black. On these units, it needs to be set to -2 or -3 most of the time, but there is unit to unit variation.If you can get a blacker level with hide, something is wrong. Are you sure that your levels are set correctly? Try to force HDMI to standard or enhanced, or set it to AUTO and see if it makes a difference.If the PJ is set to the correct levels for the source with the correct brightness setting, what you describe shouldn't happen.Second, the JVC Autocal should be able to correct almost any gamma droop, but gamma doesn't (or shouldn't) affect contrast, as gamma only adjusts between black and white. It doesn't touch black or white, so shouldn't really have much of an impact on contrast.Brightness will control black and contrast white.If you use offsets wrongly (for example, by adding instead of substracting values), you can raise your black levels.If you set gains wrongly you can also lower your contrast.But a gamma autocal, while it will restore picture depth especially in the high end, because that's where the droop happens (levels at 70-95 are too high, gamma is too low, and the picture lacks depth), it should not change on/off contrast.So my advice is:1) Switch the DI off. It's irrelevant for now.2) Check your levels with a black levels pattern. 16 and below should be black (not grey). 17 just above black, unless that raise the black levels at 16, in which case crush it. My recommendation is to set the source to standard (GPU full and madVR 16-235 if you use madVR) and the PJ to standard, but ideally test with a non HTPC source because levels can be wrong on a HTPC depending on the OS and GPU driver, so let's rule this out for now.3) Adjust brightness so that using hide doesn't make any difference. For most, with the correct levels, it has to be set to -2 or -3.4) You should get a native on off at the same level as what you measure with "hide", 47,000:1 native with the iris on -7 sounds a bit high but if you are at long throw, much closer to what it should be than 4000:1, which cannot be correct.5) Once you get a basic working baseline, run a gamma autocal to get rid of the gamma droop. You should get a picture with more depth, but it shouldn't improve your on/off significantly.Please let us know once you've checked your levels and set brightness correctly if you still have this issue.You might have to use a difference source, reset the PJ settings to factory default or take the Radiance out until you get a proper baseline, then once you've identified the culprit, work out the reason.There is no point in running an autocal if you have 4,000:1 native contrast with your current settings. That won't change with an autocal, so there is an incorrect setting somewhere.
Now how this new version of Autoval will works with Frame Adapt HDR calibration? Does eny one check it?Thank you
Well it says right in the manual:"Calibration does not work when Picture Mode has been set to Frame Adapt HDR. Set to another Picture Mode."
WTF?!?!Am I reading that correctly? Can't use the calibrations when using Frame Adapt DTM? That can't be right. Or does that mean you need to calibrate first and then switch to Frame Adapt?
