Color Temperature
Color temperature stands for the spectral properties of a light source. Low color temperature implies warmer
ambiance (more yellow/red) while high color temperature implies a colder light (more blue). Depending on the
Picture Profile selected, this setting can be set to:
• Preset: from 5500K / warm colors, up to 9500K / cold colors in steps of 500K.
• Xenon1 uses the Xenon filter and color compensation to reproduce a film projector
• Xenon2 uses the Xenon filter and color compensation to reproduce a digital cinema projector
• Xenon3 same as Xenon2, but within a cooler temperature.
• High Brightness used for maximum brightness output available.
• Custom1, Custom2 and Custom3 can be used to adjust color temperature to specific environment.
A Custom setting allows a fine adjustment of a Color Temperature by selecting it in the Correction Value menu.
Adjust the Gain values (bright part) and Offset values (dark part) for each color Red, Green and Blue.
Gamma
Gamma is the relationship between the color values of the data and the color values displayed. The Gamma
coefficient makes it possible to adjust the brightness of the midtones only without affecting the very bright and very
dark areas. If gamma is set too high, middle tones appear too dark. If it's set too low, middle tones appear too light.
Depending on the current active Picture mode, the Gamma setting can be set to:
• Normal: Standard tones
