PPM Color Calibration Primer

@Philips_Support_P appreciate your comments. You mention on a previous post that a ‘looks’ feature is being worked on. Is there a rough timeline for this being released?

Lastly. Have these colour issues been addressed with the ppm one? I see on specs that it has - Rec. 709 Mode whereas the ppm obviously doesn’t.

@Philips_Support_P I’d really like to know if the update with the system-wide overlay (screenshot shown by @IvoGrijt higher up in the thread, which appears to be very similar to the overlay interface on the PicoPix Max One) is still being worked on?
Any estimate on when this update might be released?
Thanks

Hi @Dean_Newton the looks feature is coming with the next update by the end of the month. In the meantime you can use the colour adjustment app from the beta lounge.

Hi @smartygus there is no system-wide overlay on PicoPix Max. I’m not familiar with the screenshot you’re referring to. However we are working on the smartphone app to change the settings while watching something.

Hello,

Best wishes for 2021.

It seemed to me that the ability to adjust colors was built into all devices of this type and I can’t figure out the cause and effect link

We can therefore legitimately conclude that it is dangerous for the device to modify the “red / green / blue LED power”, including via the application available for people registered in the list of beta testers. And so these testers take the risk of irreparably damaging their product with this application dedicated to them (the same application that passionhomecinema used in its test).

If it’s really dangerous, why did you publish it ?
Or it is legally impossible for you to publish an application of this kind if it presents a risk, even calculated, and that is why you are offering it to an informed public ?

I don’t know if my projector has colorimetric specifications outside the expected ranges but from the moment a calibration had been carried out by a professional, the objective for me was to get closer

I understand your explanation about the basic specs and that they are “burned” into the chip

Thank you

Where was this statement given? I’d like to read it. I’m not talking about colour, by the way, you’ve mentioned the selection of LEDs plenty of times. But that’s not the issue. If you’ll remember, I even stated that the colour was fine for what this is, the colour temperature was spot-on on my machine.

People will say “flat colour” because that’s what it looks like, but the real reason is gamma. Most people don’t measure this, they just call it the way they see it. It’s not about the chromaticity of the LEDs or the white point. Those are what they are.

I am not aware of any clear statement on gamma being unalterable. Or the sharpening on external input. Please, clear this up and we can be done with it if it’s so.

@Philips_Support_P the screenshot I was referring to was the one posted earlier in this thread by @IvoGrijt here: PPM Color Calibration Primer - #31 by PhilipsIvo
It seems like this may be a screenshot from the interface on the PicoPix Max One?

I was just hoping for some way to make adjustments to the image tuning variables from the standard remote while using a HDMI/USB-C source. But if I understand you now correctly this is not coming?
Having a companion app that would allow the changing of brightness/contrast/saturation/etc. while watching something from HDMI/USB-C would be a workable alternative I guess.

Hi @smartygus

This feature is unfortunately not possible on PicoPix Max. It is possible on PicoPix Max One.

This feature is possible also on PicoPix Max via Bluetooth, and the app is in the works.

Okay cool, thanks again for the clarification. I look forward to trying out the app. Do you have a beta program for the app? I use iOS.

Hello Prashant,
I updated my PPM but I still don’t have the “looks feature”. Are you guys still working on improving the PPM ?

Hello @Nico-P, the RGB calibration feature is only available as part of the Colour Correction beta app, if you join the beta testers list.

I’ve added you to the beta testers group. Don’t forget to input your PicoPix Max serial number on your forum profile to help with future warranty claims as a beta user!

Hi @Philips_Support_P - When would we be able to use the companion app? Any launch dates in mind? Will you surprise us with the release of the app sometime soon before Christmas/New year?

Looking forward to it.

Hello @prabz18485 the companion app has been put on hold indefinitely as the team is very busy with new products. If you need to use the colour settings app, consider joining the beta lounge.

@Philips_Support_P
Please add me as well to the beta lounge. I would like to try out color setting app.

I would like to be added tot the beta-testers as well, thank you…

Hi @prabz18485 @Danny @DieBruine the beta lounge is now read-only accessible to everyone. The latest BETA app for colour calibration is here.

Hi
The beta app is not accessible, could you open it to me?
Many thanks

Hi,
Nice to see the app is up and running.
I tried to connect to the link but it leads me to a screeneo page
Did the address move?
Many thanks and wishing you a nice sunday

Hi @Groovycelt and @Pat please try to access the page again. It should work. The link to download the APK is in that post.

Alternatively you can download it from this link.

May I ask is the colour adjustment app still available?

Seems like the link is dead , and burried :tired_face:
