SpectraCal Announces Automatic Calibration of Panasonic HDTVs

This week, SpectraCal announced that Panasonic has enabled automatic calibration of all of their 2011 HDTV models. New workflows in SpectraCal’s award-winning video calibration solution CalMAN automatically calibrate the 2011 Panasonic displays via Viera Net IP connectivity. First, picture controls such as brightness, contrast, color, and tint are available directly from inside CalMAN, without needing a remote control. Second, CalMAN’s Interactive Charts allow you to say what results you want, leaving CalMAN and the display to work together to achieve those results. Finally, you can just push a single button and watch CalMAN perform a complete 11-point white balance calibration. This is very cool.

Calibration results are stored in the ISFccc (Imaging Science Foundation Certified Calibration Configuration) day and night memories. SpectraCal Chief Technical Officer Derek Smith said that Panasonic engineers worked very closely with SpectraCal to ensure optimal results and the company provided SpectraCal with unprecedented access to controls for optimizing the displays.

The results for the installer are faster and easier calibrations with better results. You can even set an option to specify how long you want CalMAN to work. The default option is a quick calibration, but you can crank it up if you want and bring it close to perfect. SpectraCal has already demonstrated the new Panasonic workflows at press briefings in Los Angeles this month.
