Nathan Chapman Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 In browsing through my Zephyr's monitor (model MSC-200565, HD 7" 800 nits) manuals, I've come across a monitor setting I haven't seen before on other monitors: Colour Temperature. The setting is explained in two sections: ColourMatch Conversion with Colour Temperature Adjustment Emulation of SMPTE-C/EBU colour space allows the MSC-200565 to replace any broadcast CRT monitor. Presets include D55, D65 and D93. Bias and Gain adjustment for each colour enables precise colour matching and white balance. Manual, page 4 And also: Colour Temperature Use this setting to choose one of the colour temperature presets: D55 (5500K) D65 (6500K) D93 (9300K) Linear (no correction) USER (adjustable Colour Bias and Gain) Manual, page 10 Now, my question... in what situations would I be using this setting? Am I setting it to match the ambient light? If so, when am I supposed to be in 9300K light? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Frederic Sturm Posted November 5, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Hi Nathan, if you're viewing a Rec709 picture, the correct setting should be D65 (6500K) in almost every case, as it's the standard illuminant for Rec709. As a rule of thumb, if not otherwise indicated, use 6500K :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
