BenQ

ColourSpace Integration

BenQ calibration is controlled via the Hardware Options menu, accessed via the Profiling window.

Initial Setup

• If required, make sure the correct drivers are installed
  (If necessary, verify via Windows Device Manager)
• Connect the BenQ monitor to the ColourSpace PC via a USB connection, as well as a direct video connection with valid signal, and start ColourSpace
• Set the desired set-up options via the Settings menu, as required
• Open a ColourSpace Profiling window, select Hardware Options, and select BenQ from the Hardware drop-down list
• Select Connect
• To make sure there is no existing calibration data active within the selected Profile/Load/LUT/Slot, and associated colour space selection, etc., select Unity Bypass from the Select LUT option, and press Upload
  (Calibration-1 and Calibration-2 slots are the only two that can be user calibrated, and can only be accessed via the monitor's OSD after a LUT, or Unity Bypass data, has been Uploaded)
• Set the monitor's Peak Luma using the Interactive Controls while taking interactive measurements via the Manual Measure menu
  (The desired target value will depend on the accuracy of the white point colour temperature)

Potentially, when Unity Bypass data is Uploaded all monitor settings will be nullified. Should it be desired that different LUTs and other settings remain as defined, upload the Default Unity LUT, which uploads just the LUT, and does not reset any additional settings. Set necessary settings, such as Brightness/Contrast/Black-Level, before any LUT Upload.

Profiling Operation

While BenQ monitors can be calibrated using ColourSpace via a LUT upload, the actual profiling must be performed via a an external patch generator.

• Open a second ColourSpace Profiling window, select Hardware Options, and select the required TPG from the Hardware drop-down list
  (Refer to the relevant TPG User Guide for further operational information)
  Note: The keyboard 'O' key can be used within the Manual Measure and Hardware menus to quickly Disable/Enable the TPG
• The probe must be connected to the same Profiling Window as the TPG

Any patch generator can be used for SDR profiling, including direct HDMI/DVI/DisplayPort connection from the ColourSpace PC, with HDMI to SDI converter if required. For HDR/HLG/Dolby Vision, if applicable, correct metadata may be required within the video signal, requiring a dedicate TPG or metadata injector, unless the display can be manually forced into the required input format.

LUT Upload

After profiling, a Calibration LUT can be generated as normal within ColourSpace LUT Tools, and saved into the library.

With the LUT still held within ColourSpace navigate back to the Hardware Options menu, and select the desired LUT from within the Select LUT options, and Upload into the desired Calibration slot.
