Recommended Settings and other useful stuff for RTD 1619DR Players (HT PDF Updated)

They think I have Temporal Arteritis - still waiting on test results

 

Does that mean you're a good shot and can time travel? Awesome.

Sounds like you've had a hell of a day!!!

 

Morning! Blood tests showed nothing, seems a Sinus issue that's not going away - I was fine overnight after a Sinufed and a couple of Paracetemols but pain is back again as I write this and b4 I take dog for a walk and another cold morning to boot Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Thanks for thinking about me and would confirm I'm no Dctr Who! lol

 

If the tests found nothing serious, you can breathe a sigh of relief and see how it goes in a few days, otherwise try to see a specialist.

hey guys new valerion pro 2 owner here and want to watch everything in dv. what is the correct setting? thnx

 

vs1o for all content under HDR setting

 

Uh well, VS10 is indeed great for using the Dolby VS10 engine to convert and output to displays that are either not capable of HDR or Dolby Vision. But if your display is capable of DV, @george kmb , then you should see an option under HDR output for Dolby Vision Low Latency. If so, then give that option a try... everything literally is then output in Dolby Vision for you.

 

thanks man, my projector is indeed dv capable so i'll give it a try.

 

Hi, I have several questions,I hope you can help me.
I have an Epson 9400 projector and the Z9X. One of my questions is about the advanced settings. -What does Performance Mode mean and if it's on?
-Playback Performance Mode and if it's on?
-Auto 29.97/59.94Hz playback. Is it on?
-Auto 1080p 24Hz playback. Is it on?
I've updated it to the latest version. Is it a good idea to do a factory reset after an update?

 

Ok.. I started mucking about in settings and am now confused about what the current best practices are for settings between a Z9X and the newer JVC models. I don't think I need to mess with custom EDID and am happy with the projector's tone mapping capabilities... Have been running things on AUTO for awhile but am wondering about using VS10 for DV titles only and AUTO for everything else.

 

I don't think there are best practices here but there are a lot of variables to consider.

I've used JVC projectors for decades and ever since we developed the LLDV trick a few years ago and the Z9X came on the scene, I've used full time LLDV.

On my old projector (X7000) that involved a static custom gamma curve but once dialled in, the pictures were stunning and because for 99% of content my HDMI mode didn't change (HDR mode, frame rate and resolution) I didn't get any HDMI resyncs for the most part. That was extremely important with that old PJ because the resync time was 15s upwards!!

On my new JVC resync isn't such a big issue - it's about 5s which is par for the course, but I still prefer not to have it.

I find that the image in LLDV from SDR, HDR10 and native DV content is much more pleasing than native - even compared to native HDR or VS10 HDR.

On my old JVC I used to use a 400nit LLDV EDID which allowed the Zidoo to tone map a lot more (ie from 400nits upwards) and the gamma curve in the PJ took care of below 400 - that worked really well.

With the new PJ, because the dynamic tone mapping is so good, I let the PJ do a lot of the heavy lifting as far as tone mapping goes, so I use a 1000nit EDID so the PJ tone maps to 100nit and the Dolby algo takes over above.

Best advice I can give is suck it and see. Have a play with settings.

And to be fair, the new boxes are a bit of a game changer in this respect because the HDR options are so flexible - every type of input can be individually adjusted to decide what and how it is or isn't converted - see below:
