Adjusting The Color For The Output; Selecting A Color Space - Christie M Series User Manual

Adjusting the color for the output

Customize the output color.
1. Select Image Settings > Advanced Image Settings > Color Settings.
2. Select the output color adjustment most suited to this input signal.
• Max Drives—All color adjustments are turned off allowing the projector to run at
maximum brightness.
• Color Temperature—Sets a color temperature between 3200 and 9300 based on the
setting of the color temperature slide bar.
Expressed in degrees Kelvin [3200K, 5400K, and so on.]. Lower numbers appear reddish
white and higher numbers appear bluish.
Standard settings are:
• 9300K—Close to the white of many computer monitors
• 6500K—The standard for color video, in both standard and high definition forms
• 5400K—The standard for graphics and black and white video
• 3200K—Useful if the projected image is to be filmed or shot as part of a studio set
illuminated with incandescent lights
For all color temperatures the color primaries (red, green, and blue) are unchanged and
reflect the native colors of the projector.
• SD Video and HD Video—Sets the output color to a specific standard value. Adjusts the
red, green, blue, and white.
• User#—Select 1 of 4 user defined sets of color adjustments. The sets are defined in the
Configuration menu.

Selecting a color space

Determine how the color components are decoded for accurate color in the display.
1. Select Image Settings and press Enter.
2. Select a color space.
• Select RGB unless you are using component video.
• Select YPbPr (Video) with a standard definition televised signal (SDTV).
• Select YPbPr (HDTV) with a high definition televised signal (HDTV).
3. When certain RGB signals are first connected, the projector may not recognize them as RGB
and incorrectly decodes their color information as YPbPr (video). For these signals, change the
color Space to RGB, and then define a new channel for future use.
These signals can include:
• RGB signals in NTSC, PAL, SECAM frequency ranges.
• Scan-doubled sync-on-green.
• Scan-quadrupled sync-on-green.
