Radiance: Top of the line video processing

Auto-Calibrate for ChromaPure now available!
June 3, 2010


What is ChromaPure
Auto-Calibrate?

This product allows anyone with little or no training in video technology to fully calibrate their display with almost no user input. Just setup a few simple options, click Auto-Calibrate, and then just go have a cup of coffee while the process completes, usually in 5-10 minutes.

This feature is an optional add-on to ChromaPure Standard, and it works in conjunction with a DVDO Duo or Lumagen Radiance external video processor. The processor acts as both a test pattern signal generator and calibration device. The Auto-Calibrate software controls the processor and the color analyzer to get the most out of your display. It will even generate a before and after calibration report for you.

The display's performance with respect to each of these parameters is presented in colourful charts and precise numerical values, both of which can update in real time as calibration adjustments are made.

ChromaPure is based on a before/after model. When the calibration is finished, the user can generate a printable report that depicts the performance of the display before and after calibration.

Auto-Calibrate will adjust the display's grayscale, gamma response, and color gamut to within industry standards.

Auto-Calibrate is available to ChromaPure Standard users at a $139 CurtPalme.com discounted price. It is free for ChromaPure Professional users. ChromaPure Professional users should contact us to enable this option.

What do I need to use ChromaPure Auto-Calibrate?

ChromaPure Plus

We are also offering a new version of ChromaPure called ChromaPure Plus. It adds support for the AccuPel video test pattern generator that now include 3D test patterns. The perfect compliment to the new 3D-Theatre that adds 3D support to any HD display!

The MSRP for this version is $300, available at a CurtPalme.com discounted price of $280.

Test Discs:

To get the most out of your home theater we recommend the following two Blu-ray test discs. There's a lot of other stuff out there - save your money. No other test discs are required.

   Digital Video Essentials: HD Basics: Audio and video calibration test patterns and instructions. Get the most out of your HD home theater using this disc and our Greyscale & Colour Calibration for Dummies guide.
   Spears & Munsil High-Definition Benchmark Blu-ray Disc Edition: Advanced video benchmarking and calibration. While there is some overlap, it is a a perfect compliment to Digital Video Essentials as it has deinterlacing and chroma alignment tests, as well as other advanced features. No audio calibration so Digital Video Essentials is still required. Comes free in the box when you purchase the (phenomenal!) Oppo BDP-83 Blu-ray player.
