Input Calibration:
•
Each input source should be calibrated, starting with the DVD. The Lumagen provides
four independent input configuration memories for each input. So, calibration for each
input is independent of other inputs and multiple independent calibrations can be done
for each input. One use for the multiple calibrations for each input is to calibrate
MEMA for day and MEMB for night viewing. Typically the DVD input is calibrated
first using a DVD calibration disc. Then the results of the DVD calibration are then
copied to all input memories as a reference starting point for the other sources.
•
Play a DVD calibration disc and select it as the input source. AVIA™ test patterns are
referenced here, but Digital Video Essentials™ is also excellent.
•
Select Lumagen input aspect ratio as
16:9
for a 16:9 screen, or
4:3
for a 4:3 screen. This
is necessary to properly set the overscan.

•
Adjust the input size and position. This selects which pixels are captured. The corner
being adjusted is moved toward the center to make it easy to calibrate. If the corner
being adjusted cannot be seen on-screen, go back to the Initial Output/Input Setup
section and correct the output size, then come back to this step. Adjust the top-left of
the image first. Then adjust the bottom-right.

Set the black level. Follow AVIA instructions for setting the black level. Since the
Lumagen-to-display levels were set above in the Output Calibration section, the
Lumagen internal Black level control should be used. It is recommended that the black
frame with two moving bars (2 and 4 IRE) be used for setting black level. The reason is
that the black level varies with the average intensity on the screen for a lot of displays
and the black level is most critical in dark scenes. The command is:

Set the white level. Follow AVIA instructions for setting the white level (often called
contrast). Since the Lumagen-to-display levels were set above in the Output

Set Color and Hue and then the Color and Hue offsets for red and green. Set the
display’s Color and Hue to default before performing this calibration step. Follow
instructions on the AVIA disc for the color bar images. First set Color and Hue using
the AVIA blue colorbar pattern and the blue filter. Next set the red color (COLRED)
and Hue (HUERED) offsets using the red colorbar pattern and the red filter. Finally set
