Magig Sheet shows incorrect colours

Running 3.1.1.120

Magic sheet is showing wrong colours on Series 2 Lustr+'s. Mode is correct and all that. In some scenarios it will show a different color in the color pixker than in real life. If I try to recall from a D40, it will give me a too-saturated version of the color I want. This doesn't always happen, though.

  • I would check to see if you are using 

    "Show gels as gel + lamp output" (the default setting)

    or 

    "Show gels as gel against white background"

    Otherwise, would you please give some examples of colors that don't match?  And remember that if either Series 2 or D40 are in "Direct" mode, that is uncalibrated and colors are not guaranteed to match.

    Hello, and which mode is correct for Series 2 for calibrated colors/gels? We have 30 S2 Lustr and we use HSIC mode.

    thank you

    Hey Matt, sorry for responding late. Tried toggling between gels + lamp output and white background but no difference. The difference between actual fixtures isn’t the real problem, but how the MS displays the color. Guess it might be because I’ve heavily modified the color - emitter by emitter?

    Sorry for the delay.  The list of calibrated modes for Series 2 fixtures is in the User Manual on page 29 (PDF Page 35): Source Four LED Profile v1.8.2 User Manual

    "Color Matching

    The color output of all Source Four LED Profile fixtures is calibrated at the factory. When operating in the RGB, HSI, HSIC, or Studio profile, or when operating in Direct mode on the Series 2 Lustr (v1.8.1 or later), each fixture makes accommodations for the specific LEDs in its array and produces output that is consistent with other fixtures, whether or not they utilize LEDs from the same production batch. Operating with Plus Seven settings bypasses this calibration and multiple fixtures may produce slightly different outputs when controlled as a group."

    So to confirm, HSIC is considered a calibrated mode and should guarantee matching between all Series 2 fixtures (assuming they are in v1.8.2 firmware).

    Hi  , this could also be the difference between using D65 or D50 as the white point.

    You can toggle this setting in Setup > System Settings > System > "Display Colors in D65"

    The D50 white point was the default in v1.x and v2.x.

    In v3.0.0 and higher, the default White Point is set to D65, where "white" is equivalent to 6500K.
