FSI BoxIO & ColourSpace Calibration
Start ColourSpace and click the profiling icon From the profiling window,
select the Settings tab and set Patch Scale to the desired range.
Now, select the Hardware Options tab.
From the Hardware drop-down menu select FSI BoxIO and enter the IP address of
the BoxIO into the Network Address field, then click connect.
Under FSI BoxIO Options set Load to 3D Only, Mode to Mode 1 and Range to
0-1023. Ensure that each LUT selection is set to OFF. Then select the desired
LUT ID position in the 3D LUT drop down. Below the connect button you will see
a dropdown menu labeled Calibration Patches, set this option to the desired
patch size.
Click on the Manual Measure button and move the sliders to ensure test
patterns are being properly generated. Set the sliders to 128,128,128 to
display grey on screen.
Now, click on the probe options button in ColourSpace. From the Probes menu
select the probe of your choice. Then press connect.
Click on the Display Characterization icon, then select a desired profiling
mode. Grey Ramp RGB Large (quick) or Cube Based Cube Size 17 (slow) are the
suggested profiling modes. Generally speaking larger profiles will yield
better results. If short on time, we would suggest you use Grey Ramp RGB
Large. See the appendix for more details. Ensuring that the probe is
positioned at the center of the monitor, press the Start button to begin
profiling.
Once your profile completes, click on the graph options tab then select Rename
to give the profile an easy to identify name, then press save to save the
completed profile.
Once the profile is saved, open a LUT Tools window in ColourSpace. Ensure that
you do not close out of the Profile window or you will need to reconnect to
BoxIO when saving the LUT. From the LUT Generation tab select your target
color space from the Gamut (profile) drop-down menu in the Source area. In the
Destination area select the calibration profile you just saved. Then, click
Create to generate your calibration LUT.
Once your LUT is generated click on the Manage LUT icon, then select save
.
Next, click on the Hardware Options icon. From the Select LUT dropdown choose
the LUT just saved. Then click Upload. This will save the LUT to the desired
position selected previously. Your LUT is now saved and active on BoxIO.
Appendix 1: Tips and Tricks
Short on Time?
If you have time and want to generate optimal results a large test patch
sequence (Cube Based Cube Size 17) is ideal. However, ColourSpace’s Grey Ramp
RGB Large profile can generate extremely good calibration results very
quickly. Keep in mind that the more linear the display is the better the
results will be. You can start the Grey Ramp RGB Large profile by following
the steps above. On the Display Characterization page select Grey Ramp RGB
Large from the Mode drop down and complete the remaining steps.
