SIM2 Nero 3D-2 Color Temperature
Out of the Box Measurements:
Lumen Output and Color Temp at 100 IRE (mid zoom):
Standard= 666 @ 7223
High= 675 @ 10601
Medium= 772 @ 8702
Low= 637 @ 7456
Native= 825 @ 8437
D75= 729 @ 8726
D65= 669 @ 7134
D50= 586 @ 5603
C= 610 @ 7817
User= 637 @ 7448
Color Temp over IRE Range, Best mode (D65):
30 IRE – 7049
50 IRE – 7060
80 IRE – 7099
100 IRE – 7134
The SIM2's default "best" mode is slightly cool, as you can see. Those numbers should be around 6500K. That was easily fixed by calibration.

Calibration Settings
Post-Calibration:
Calibration settings for User mode:
Contrast = 66
Brightness = 53
Color = 49.
Default gamma of 2.2.

x/y Settings (default values in parenthesis):
x (.314)= .327
y (.325)= .326
Mike's NOTES: Grayscale calibration affects the full IRE range, but the RGB balance is so consistent across the range that excellent results can be achieved. The color temperature choices and white point adjustments are listed as color management, but there is no true color management available, at least not in the user menus. The Rec. 709 CIE chart shows accurate primary colors, while the secondaries are slightly off.
