WebOS Software Application Connections:
The Prisma uses a network connection for setup and advanced control including loading of LUTs
and assigning LUTs to the IR Remote. It can either be plugged into a standard 10/100 Ethernet
network, or can be connected directly to a computer with an Ethernet cable. The Prisma will
obtain a network address automatically using DHCP, or if there is no DHCP server available, it will
use a 169.x.x.x self-assigned address. This is compatible with the method most computers use to
assign network addresses and should be adequate for most users.
The Prisma announces its name on the network using both NetBIOS and DNS. This means that you
can access the Prisma from your computer's browser as http://prisma-xxxx.local on a
Mac/iPhone/iPad (or a windows computer with iTunes) or using http://prisma-xxxx on a Windows
computer.
When you connect your browser to the Prisma, you will be presented with its control panel. This
panel will allow you to select 3D Tables, adjust the PrismaVue parameters, and make other
changes to the Prisma.
Advanced Use of Prisma
There are several papers and articles on LUTs and calibration that you can find on the Murideo
web site. We'll start the discussion here by saying if you choose to optimize and maximize your
viewing experience to your environment and customize Prisma to your personal tastes that is
completely possible.
So, how do I create LUTs for each one of the buttons on the remote?
Let's start with the CalMAN example - CalMAN is advanced software that allows you to create a 3D
LUT!
A PC running CalMAN gets plugged into the Prisma via LAN and a light meter is connected to the
PC also for taking readings off the display. The Prisma has a built-in full 8-bit RGB triplet pattern
generator. As noted above - if possible plug the PC and the Prisma into a hub of some sort - makes
resolving the address a lot quicker. SpectraCal has a great article on creating 3D LUTs – see
Appendix A
The process once connected:
1.
Quick method - put the TV in Cinema Mode and do a basic adjustment of black and white
level and go....
2.
LUT creation - Use the Color Cube workflow in CalMAN - This will take you through a full
setup and calibration of the display including grayscale calibration, gamma, and front panel
controls.
3.
Once you pick 1 or 2 above...time to get her done.
