• Color Temp.: To choose a color temperature setting, select Color Temp. from the Picture
Adjust menu and press ENTER. (Color temperature defines the “color of gray.”) The
choices are 5400K, 6500K, 8500K and Custom. The default setting, 6500K, is appropriate
for most situations. Higher settings produce a “bluer” picture; lower ones impart a reddish
hue to the image.
Each color temperature setting has six (6) “white balance” parameters associated with it
(two each for red, green and blue). (The White Balance settings for the 5400K, 6500K and
8500K color temperatures are factory-set and cannot be changed.)
• Gamma: Refer to Gamma on page 33.
• Black Level: This control compensates for incoming elevated black levels present in
certain video signals. The default setting (32) results in a minimum black level of
approximately 0
IRE. Adjust as needed to match the dynamic range of the source; increase
the value if blacks appear elevated (dark gray). If blacks appear “crushed” (too dark), use a
lower settting.
• Save Settings: For each input and supported resolution, the DView lets you save image
quality settings as presets that you can recall at a later time. You can create up to three
presets – designated “Custom,” “ISF Day” and “ISF Night” – per input and resolution.
You should save changes to any of the following settings to a preset; otherwise they will
be lost when a new input source or resolution is selected:
•Brightness
•Contrast
• Color saturation
•Tint
• Sharpness
•Gamma
• Color temperature selection (5400, 6500, 8500 or Custom)
To save image settings to a preset, select Save Settings from the Picture Adjust menu and
select “Custom,“ “ISF Day” or “ISF Night.”
To create a “Custom” color temperature, select Custom from the Color
Temp. menu and press ENTER. Then, press ENTER a second time to go
directly to the White Balance menu. (This shortcut is available only from
the ISF Calibration menu.)
