ISF Calibration
Professional Service

If you want to improve the way
your TV or monitor reproduces your favorite movie or graphics, you have come
to the right place.
The ISF Display Calibration process will bring your display device i.e. TV
or monitor as close to the NTSC standard as possible within the limitations
of your particular device. Proper calibration is essential so that the image
you see is as close to the original put on film by the director as possible.
With a well designed & calibrated display, a good transfer of a movie to
laser disk or DVD and the correct viewing environment, you will be a long
step closer to true "Home Theater".
The information on this web site will help you determine if the ISF Display
Calibration is the right thing to do and what will be done to your TV or
monitor to get it to comply with the NTSC Standard.
Introduction
The display device in your home is the last link in a chain that started on
a movie set or in a TV studio and is the least cared for in terms of
insuring that the image that you see is anywhere close to the image on the
movie set or in the studio.
One of the reasons for this is that on a show room floor there generally is
a lot of ambient light which requires that the white level (contrast,
picture etc.) of any given display device must be increased to compensate
for this. Each manufacturer wants their set to "look good" next to the
competing brand. So, where do they set the picture level? As high as
possible without burning up the set!
One other reason is the setting of the color temperature. The temperature of
white will be set to anywhere from 5000 kelvin on up. The actual temperature
of white, as designated by NTSC is 6500 kelvin (D6500). Any higher and white
will be more blue than white, any lower than and white will be more red than
white. Watch for the Black Body Curve!
The settings your display device came with from the factory will utterly
destroy the original image and do not let you see the movie, show etc. like
it was produced.
Hence the need for a calibration!
The goal here is the reproduce the original image as close as possible
within the confines of your viewing environment and within the limitations
of your display device.
Before any calibration is performed, the signal path to the display device
needs to be checked to insure that the interconnecting cables are of good
quality and that the best possible signal source is used such as progressive
scan DVD and HDTV.
We belief is that even with a modest budget for a display device it is still
possible to get a satisfactory image that is close to the original by
adhering to a few simple parameters:
a.) tightly control the ambient light in the viewing area
b.) get the display device calibrated
c.) observe the correct viewing distance and position
d.) get a comfortable chair
e.) get a popcorn machine
One concept to keep in mind: there is no such thing as a perfect
display device no matter how much money you spend on it. But we can come
close.
