Fine-tune Projector Colors with a Color Meter

To use a color meter for projector color adjustments, follow the instructions in
White Brightness, or Primary Colors
XXX Part of YYY adjustments.
1. To note the xy color values reported for the common gamut, navigate to Main Menu >
ArrayLOC > Array Color Target.
2. Measure the projected primary color with the meter and compare the metered values to the
common gamut values.
Use the adjustment guide to determine how to adjust the Projector Color Adjustment values to
correct the differences. The adjustment guides are color coded. The suggested corrections are also color
coded, and reflect the direction of the change, + or -. For example, if the measured red is 660, 325 and
the Common Gamut value is 640, 330 then the measured x is high (High X) while the measured y is low
(Low Y). The corresponding quadrant of the RED guide indicates +G (increase green) to correct the
mismatch with other projectors.
Once you have made an adjustment, re-measure and refer to the guide for the next adjustment. Repeat
until the desired color accuracy is achieved.
1 some corrections require both red and green adjustments.
2 alternative: decrease blue (-B) instead of increasing red and green.
3 alternative: increase blue (+B) and increase green (+G) instead of
decreasing red and increasing green.
