Overview
-
- PGenerator can be used with all ColourSpace version with Profiling capabilities, including the free ZRO license version of ColourSpace, enabling verification of any screen parameters on any connected device, as well as working with any main version of ColourSpace for full profiling and LUT based calibration.
-
- As PGenerator can be controlled directly by ColourSpace it can generate any required colour patches, either as a managed sequence for automated profiling, or manually selected for manual display calibration adjustment, on any HDMI connected display.
-
- PGenerator is based on the Raspberry Pi, using software developed by Riccardo Biasiotto, for patch generation under control of ColourSpace via a dedicated Hardware menu, as well as the Network Server.
ColourSpace Direct Integration
All PGenerator operation and function can be controlled via the Hardware Options menu, accessed via the Profiling window.
Initial Setup
-
- Connect an HDMI cable from PGenerator to the display
-
- Connect PGenerator to the ColourSpace laptop, and start ColourSpace
-
- Depending on the Raspberry Pi, connections can be Ethernet, USB, WiFi, or Bluetooth, with WiFi and Bluetooth requiring setup via DeviceControl
Direct WiFi password: PGenerator
-
- Bluetooth IP address: 10.10.11.1
-
- USB IP address: 10.10.12.1
-
- Open a ColourSpace Profiling window, select Hardware Options, and select PGenerator from the Hardware drop-down list
-
- Select Connect, and ColourSpace will will send a request for any active PGenerator system to connect
-
(Note: Available will show green if no PGenerator is actually available, and Disconnect/Connect will need to be toggled to re-initiate a connection)
-
- Any available PGenerators will show in the Generators drop-down, and can be individually selected
-
(If multiple connections to a single PGen are available, such as Ethernet and WiFi, there will be multiple listings in the drop-down. Hovering over the selected PGen will show a Tool Tip with the devices IP address)
-
- For TPG operation, set Calibration Patches as required, with Automatic being the normal option
-
- From the ColourSpace Setting window set Patch Size, Position, BG Colour, Scale & Resolution as required
The PGenerator Options menu allows any of the additional PGen settings and functions to be configured as required, including Ted's LightSpace CMS Disc patterns, if Ted's PGen ISO has been purchased separately.
(If Ted's ISO has not been purchased, those options will not show in the Pattern Groups drop-down)
As soon as the Calibration Patches are set to Automatic the output of PGenerator will display the patch colour as defined within the ColourSpace Manual Measure and Characterisation menus.
