Greetings from Ted Aspiotis (displaycalibrations.com).

I will inform you about the latest calibration news and a special offer for CalMAN Home customers.

Portrait Displays is removing support for PGenerator from all CalMAN Home license levels

Portrait Displays has decided to completely remove the support of the PGenerator as a pattern generator in their upcoming software from all the CalMAN Home license levels.

The PGenerator has never been listed in the supported hardware list in CalMAN; but it was a known and very popular low-cost and bit-perfect solution in the consumer market.

The PGenerator uses the Unified Pattern Generator Control Interface to connect with CalMAN.

The Calman 2023 (5.14.5.2) has pointed out in the release notes that they will remove the Unified Pattern Generator Control Interface from their TPG options in the upcoming CalMAN Home.

PGenerator Removal from CalMAN Home

The latest CalMAN will display a pop-up window to inform the PGenerator users:

PGenerator Removal from CalMAN Home

CalMAN will remove PGenerator as TPG only from CalMAN Home; It will work with CalMAN Video Pro, Studio, or Ultimate.

 

It's a disappointing decision since it looks like that Portrait Displays is unhappy with the fact that their customers are using a bit-perfect and low-cost TPG instead of their re-branded TPG (VideoForge PRO).

Consumers who want a hardware TPG with CalMAN Home must invest in VideoForge PRO ($1495) or use their PGenerator with CalMAN Video Pro ($1995 retail with $495 annual fees for updates).

For the CalMAN Home users who want to avoid supporting those business decisions of Portrait Displays, we are offering a 25% trade-up discount for any Calman Home user who would like to upgrade to a ColourSpace HTL, HTP, or HTX license.

ColourSpace HTL, HTP or HTX -25% Special for CalMAN Home users (until the end of December 2023)

We provide the CalMAN Home customers the capability to purchase ColourSpace HTL, HTP or HTX at -25% OFF.

That deal applies to CalMAN Home for LG, Sony, Samsung, Panasonic, Philips.

If you experience poor customer support or calibration results, outdated documentation, can't wait for ages for your issues to be fixed, and can't afford the annual fees for updates.... then it's the right time to switch to ColourSpace.

ColourSpace Home Cinema Key Features (compared to Calman Home)

ColorSpace Software provides free software updates for several years without annual fees for updates.

CalMAN Home has one year of updates, and it will require a re-purchase of CalMAN Home every year at full price ($149) to keep the software updated.

That detail is hidden from CalMAN's Home Store, making the software look' cheaper' than ColourSpace HTL.

It's an excellent offer for customers of LG OLEDs, TCL, madVR, ENVY, Lumagen, Sony Projectors 1D LUT, or eeColor LUT boxes for having similar dE reports.

Compared with ZRO, the HTL/HTP will add LUT generation, 3D Volumetric charts, Volumetric tools to evaluate LUTs, custom PDF reports, layouts, and saving/export of measurement files.

The ColourSpace HTL is the license level that works with X-Rite/Calibrate/Spyder instruments and Konica Minolta MYIRO-1 spectrophotometer, while the ColourSpace HTP supports both consumer and high-end instruments.

ColourSpace HTP also supports LUT manipulation filters and multi-threading support during LUT generation.

ColourSpace HTX adds ICC, VCGT, and LUT extraction compared to ColourSpace HTP.

Displaycalibrations.com is sponsoring that special offer, not LightIllusion.

This exclusive offer is valid for orders placed until the end of December 2023.

ColourSpace HTL has 425 UK Pounds retail, with -25% OFF; you can get it for 318.75 UK Pounds.

ColourSpace HTP has 1275 UK Pounds retail, with -25% OFF; you can get it for 956.25 UK Pounds.

ColourSpace HTX has 1475 UK Pounds retail, with -25% OFF; you can get it for 1,106.25 UK Pounds.

Ted's PGenerator 1.6 ISO (2160p 10-bit TPG / YCbCr / HDR10 / HLG / Dolby Vision)

We have released Ted's PGenerator ISO 1.6.

Customers of Ted's PGenerator ISO 1.xx can send a request for the download link of 1.6 ISO.

Ted's PGenerator page will explain in more detail the functions of CalMAN, HCFR, LightSpace, ColourSpace, or ColourSpaceZRO software.

LightIllusion has added a license-level enhancement for the ColourSpace/ColourSpaceZRO customers of Ted's PGenerator ISO to be able to inject patterns (static/flashing) directly from ColourSpace/ColourSpaceZRO GUI.

LightIllusion will enable that feature to your license for free.

You can find a bundle of ColourSpace ZRO with Ted's PGenerator ISO here.

You can directly support the PGenerator developers here.

LG White Balance GUI (version 2) software for ColourSpace/ColourSpaceZRO users

The LG White Balance GUI software allows you to change the 2, 20, or 22-Point RGB Balance controls of the LG 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 TVs with a computer and a mouse instead of using the TV's remote control.

LG WB GUI

The software is customized for each LG TV model.

We have included dedicated 8 or 10-bit patchlists for SDR, HDR10, or Dolby Vision per each LG Model Year for ColourSpace/ColourSpaceZRO users.

The software can save or load the White Balance settings.

You can quickly copy the White Balance values of a calibrated picture mode and paste them into a different picture mode.

You can save your calibrated white balance settings as a backup to a file or load it as a starting point before a new calibration.

Using the GUI software will make the calibration procedure easier and save time.

We have a dedicated AVSForum thread with calibration tips and a download link.

Refine chart interface, Remove bell sound when modifying chart data.

Added Custom LUT Tools feature; Test, Remove, Backup and Restore.
