Java App TPG

ColourSpace Integration

After downloading, the Java App application can be copied and loaded into any other system running Java to enable calibration of any connected displays.

To install the application on any system running Java, copy the JavaApp.jar to the desired system, and run the program directly. The associated batch File and Icon can be used if desired.

With ColourSpace running on a Windows PC, with probe attached, patches can be displayed on any display connected to any other networked system, or on the same PC as ColourSpace using the Java App TPG as an alternative patch generator to the inbuilt ColourSpace patch window, using Extended Desktop as needed.

Note: If using a separate PC system to run the Java App, make sure both the ColourSpace PC and the system running the Java App TPG are connected on the same network. A hardwired ethernet network is preferred, as WiFi connections can potentially suffer interrupts causing sync problems).

For a User Guide on the workflow used for display calibration see the 3D LUT Calibration guide, combined with the specific Java App TPG information contained within this page.

Initial Setup

• On the system connected to the display to be profiled open the Java App TPG, and open ColourSpace
• Set the desired set-up options via the Settings menu, as required
• Open a ColourSpace Profiling window, select Hardware Options, and select Network Server from the Hardware drop-down list
• Select Connect, and the IP address and Port details of ColourSpace will populate the info boxes within Network Server Options
• Within the Java App select Calibration, and enter the network IP address ColourSpace lists within Network Server Options
• Press Connect to connect the Java App TPG to ColourSpace
• Using Calibration Patches select the desired patch option to use for profiling
  (If possible, Auto uses the patch settings defined within the ColourSpace Settings window, or else the closest available patch settings)
  Note: The keyboard 'O' key can be used within the Manual Measure and Hardware menus to quickly Disable/Enable the TPG
• A double click on the Java App window will make the window full screen, and remove the top menu bar
  A double click on the patch window menu bar will make the patch window full size, but with the menu bar still visible

Note: If there are any connection issues check for any Firewall settings preventing connection.

Profiling Operation

To use the Java App as a Patch Generator with ColourSpace navigate to the desired profiling mode - Manual Measure or Display Characterisation.

The output of the Java App will mimic the colour displayed, using the patch settings defined via the Hardware Options and Settings menus.

Profiling can then be performed as normal, using the probe connected to ColourSpace, with the Java App displaying the required patches on the display being profiled.

LUT Use

After profiling, a Calibration LUT can be generated as normal within ColourSpace LUT Tools, and used where required, such as within a LUT box, or uploaded directly into a suitable display, or within a grading system, etc.
