Desired values Description
Desired values
The coordinates in the CIE Chromaticity diagram and luminance of the desired
primary and secondary colors of the projector. Only Barco engineers may
change these values to force a common color triangle; Barco trained and
qualified engineers may also change the X and Y coordinates of the white
point to fine tune the colors.
X and Y coordinates Coordinates in the CIE Chromaticity diagram
Red, Green, Blue, White Desired primary colors and desired white of the projector
Cyan, Yellow, Magenta Desired secondary colors of the projector
L value Luminance (relative value)
Lmax value Maximum available luminance (relative value)
Button Description
Default desired Uses the Measured parameters to calculate and fill out the Desired values.
In case of SIM 7Q HB or SIM 7Q HB&C, this command also sets the white point to
the default white point (x = 0.306, y = 0.382) to avoid the greenish perception of the
projector’s native white point.
Factory Preset
Overwrites the Measured parameters by the factory measured values.
Maximum white
(only available in case of SIM 7Q HB or SIM 7Q HB&C)
Uses the Measured parameters to calculate the Desired values without correction
for the white point. In this state, the white point is slightly greenish.
Calibration Starts the native primary color and native white color calibration procedure. Only
Barco engineers may perform a calibration. A professional spectrometer and
ideal measurement conditions are required to achieve a good calibration. Improper
calibration seriously affects the performance of the projector. See the SIM 7 service
manual for the detailed calibration procedure.
