Author Topic: Correct Channel settings for Blu-ray Michael Stuart Film Handler Posts: 14 From: Albuquerque, NM, USA Registered: Feb 2012 posted 08-29-2012 07:37 PM                     I would first like to thank everyone on this forum as I have learned a lot about Dcinema here! I am getting conflicting information on the proper channel settings when using Blu-ray. I currently use: Data Format: RGB 4:4:4 8 bits Target Color: Rec. 709 Color Space: RGB 10bit 64-940 Gamma: Gamma 2.2 When using these settings with a calibration disc everything appears correct, but are these the right settings? It has been suggested I use others, but every time they are different. If it helps we are using HDMI High Speed link to a Gefen Scaler II. Thanks all!  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.

This was with an HDMI->DVI cable run directly from the player to the projector.  |  IP: Logged Michael Stuart Film Handler Posts: 14 From: Albuquerque, NM, USA Registered: Feb 2012 posted 08-29-2012 07:45 PM                     Thanks Scott, These were the initial settings we used, but when we calibrated with a Blu-ray test disc, we found that with unity RGB the colors became less saturated. I hope there really is an official answer!  |  IP: Logged Tony Bandiera Jr Film God Posts: 3067 From: Moreland Idaho Registered: Apr 2004 posted 08-29-2012 08:53 PM                     Michael: Here is your official answer: Blu Ray and HDMI are consumer-grade items and the colors will NEVER, EVER be consistent. NTSC has been know for many decades as "Never The Same Color".  |  IP: Logged
