Additionally, ColourSpace offers calibration guides for 3D LUT calibration and manual calibration, providing users with comprehensive resources to optimize their Konvision monitors for post-broadcast applications.
Initial setup
To set up the integration between the ColourSpace software and Konvision monitors, it is important to ensure that the correct drivers are installed and verified through the Windows Device Manager. Once the drivers are confirmed, the Konvision monitor should be connected to the ColourSpace laptop either through USB or network connection. Additionally, a valid video signal must be established between the monitor and the laptop. After starting the ColourSpace software, the desired setup options can be configured through the Settings menu. To connect to the Konvision monitor, open a ColourSpace Profiling window and select Hardware Options. From the Hardware drop-down list, choose Konvision and select the appropriate COMs port or enter the IP address for a network connection. Finally, connect to the monitor to complete the initial setup.
| Initial Setup | ||
|---|---|---|
| Install correct drivers | Connect monitor to laptop | Establish valid video signal |
| Start ColourSpace software | Configure setup options | Open Profiling window |
| Select Hardware Options | Choose Konvision from drop-down | Connect to monitor |
Connecting to monitor
Upon opening a ColourSpace Profiling window, users can easily connect to a Konvision monitor by selecting the Hardware Options menu and choosing Konvision from the available options. To establish the connection, users need to select the appropriate COMs port or enter the IP address for network connection. Once connected, users can proceed with the calibration and profiling process. It is important to note that the Konvision monitor should be connected to the ColourSpace laptop either via USB or network connection, and a valid video signal should be provided to the monitor. By following these steps, users can seamlessly integrate ColourSpace with Konvision monitors for accurate calibration and profiling, ensuring optimal display performance and color accuracy.
Unity Bypass and calibration data
When selecting Unity Bypass, the existing calibration data in the chosen profile is nullified, and the desired patch option can be chosen for profiling using Calibration Patches. This allows for a fresh start in the calibration process and ensures accurate and precise results. The Calibration Patches offer different options for profiling, allowing users to customize their calibration based on their specific needs. Additionally, uploading a real Bypass 3D LUT nullifies only the relevant LUTs, providing a more targeted approach to calibration. It is important to note that after Unity Bypass data upload, necessary settings should be reset to ensure optimal performance. This feature enhances the flexibility and efficiency of the calibration process, enabling users to achieve the highest level of accuracy and quality in their color reproduction.
Profiling the monitor
Profiling the monitor involves selecting the desired profiling mode and using a connected probe to measure the colors displayed on the Konvision monitor. The profiling mode can be either Manual Measure or Display Characterisation. In Manual Measure mode, the Konvision monitor screen will display the colors using the patch settings defined in the Hardware Options and Settings menus. The connected probe captures the color values emitted by the monitor, allowing for accurate measurement and analysis. In Display Characterisation mode, the profiling process involves characterizing the monitor’s color response by measuring a series of known color values displayed on the screen. This data is then used to create a profile that accurately represents the monitor’s color performance.
External TPG for profiling
To further enhance the profiling process of Konvision monitors, ColourSpace offers the option to utilize an external Test Pattern Generator (TPG). This allows for more precise and accurate measurements during the calibration process. By incorporating an external TPG, users can ensure that the test patterns displayed on the monitor are consistent and reliable.
To utilize this feature, users need to open a second ColourSpace Profiling window and select the desired TPG from the Hardware Options menu. The TPG can be connected to the same Profiling Window as the probe, enabling simultaneous measurements. It is important to refer to the relevant TPG User Guide for detailed operational information.
By incorporating an external TPG, ColourSpace provides users with a comprehensive solution for accurate profiling and calibration of Konvision monitors, catering to the needs of professionals in the field of innovation and technology.
| Advantages of External TPG for Profiling | |
|---|---|
| 1. Enhanced measurement accuracy | By utilizing an external TPG, the test patterns displayed on the Konvision monitor are more consistent and reliable, resulting in more precise measurements during the profiling process. |
| 2. Simultaneous measurements | The external TPG can be connected to the same Profiling Window as the probe, allowing for simultaneous measurements and streamlining the calibration workflow. |
| 3. Comprehensive solution | ColourSpace provides users with a comprehensive solution for accurate profiling and calibration of Konvision monitors by integrating an external TPG option, catering to the needs of professionals in the field of innovation and technology. |
SDR and HDR profiling
SDR and HDR profiling require the correct metadata within the video signal for accurate calibration, with a dedicated TPG or metadata injector potentially necessary to achieve the desired results. In the case of SDR profiling, any patch generator can be used. However, for HDR/HLG/Dolby Vision, the display may need the correct metadata within the video signal. This can be achieved either through a dedicated TPG or a metadata injector, unless the display can be manually forced into the required input format. It is important to ensure that the metadata is accurately represented to achieve the desired HDR calibration. This level of precision in profiling ensures that the Konvision monitor can accurately reproduce the intended colors and dynamic range for optimal viewing experience.
How does Colourspace integrate with different monitor brands for accurate calibration?
Colourspace seamlessly integrates with various monitor brands, ensuring accurate calibration for professional color grading. This integration of Colourspace and scratch allows for precise color reproduction across different displays, maintaining consistency in the final output. Whether using high-end or budget-friendly monitors, Colourspace ensures reliability and accuracy in color representation.
LUT Upload
After generating a Calibration LUT within ColourSpace LUT Tools, the LUT can be uploaded by selecting the desired LUT from the Select LUT options in the Hardware Options menu. This step is crucial for accurate calibration and profiling of Konvision monitors. The uploaded LUT contains the necessary color correction data to ensure precise color reproduction on the monitor. By selecting the appropriate LUT, users can apply the calibrated color settings to the monitor, resulting in improved image quality and color accuracy. This process allows for customization and fine-tuning of the display to meet the specific requirements of different applications. The LUT upload feature in ColourSpace provides a seamless integration with Konvision monitors, enabling users to achieve optimal visual performance and meet the demands of innovative content creation and post-production workflows.
