Cinetron HD700 Projector Calibration and Settings-2

Posted on October 30, 2013 by Art Feierman

Gamma settings:

The gamma controls on the HD700 allow for detailed customization. It's a slightly funky system (the clue being it offers gamma adjustment settings for the various IRE ranges, and they all default to 1.35)? (What would have been so wrong to use 0 as a default, or 1). Irregardless, these settings are what Mike came up with, and they yielded a slightly erratic gamma curve, but averaged 2.23 pretty close to the "ideal" 2.2.

Gamma adjustments add to the default gamma, which is too low with any preset (1.65 on Gamma 1 to 1.95 on Gamma 4).  There is a huge dip in gamma at 90 IRE which is followed by a big increase in color temp at 100 IRE as the lamp runs out of Red.

All that basically means, all four defaults are a bit too bright in the midranges, compared to dark or bright areas. Gamma 4 can do in a pinch, it's pretty good, especially for sports.
