p.1 #1 · Calibrating a projector


Does anyone know the process.. and what kind of hardware it takes?

I have the Gretag Macbeth eye one, but given how it works I wouldn't expect to be able to calibrate a projector with it.. any thoughts?

Which i1? The i1 Pro can profile projectors with the appropriate accessory (i1 Beamer), the i1 Display series cannot.

It works a lot like profiling a monitor. You set up the profiling device in front of the projector, the software projects the color patch, device measures it, software generates a profile.

Just for the fun of it, you might set up a translucent white vellum and try using the eye one on the opposite side from the projector. Either that or frosted glass or other translucent material that doesn't have much of a color cast.

Focus shouldn't be a major issue, so it could be placed fairly close to the projector and wouldn't have to be 5 ft on a side...

I have the spyder2 pro and it calibrates lcd projectors...The way it works is you set up your screen and projector. Then you attach the sensor to a camera tripod with the special adaptor and face the sensor towards the sceen just like you would for a crt or lcd monitor (you DO NOT face the sensor towards the projector). Once it is set up the rest of the procedure is the same as doing lcd or crt's

Hmm, how would that work as the sensor on the Spyder has to read the color. If your pointing toward the screen your going to be blocking the light exactly where it wants to read.
