Hello...

In some other posts, people mentioned picking up/buying filters to help calibrate their system along with the DVD calibration disc -- what exactly are these filters? I assume they are used to aid in color settings...

Thanks,

Matt

killerQ,
the avia calibration disk comes with three color filters to aid in calibration, red, green and blue (they're basically like light gels/filters if you've ever dealt with theater/event lighting)

Yes, the filters are used to adjust color and tint.

All of the calibration discs come with the appropriate filter(s); Sound & Vision includes blue, Avia and Digital Video Essentials Red, Green, and Blue. You s/d only need to purchase a filter if you lose yours or if you are using the THX calibration tests offered on some of their releases. You can buy the THX blue filter from their website.

If you want to use higher quality filters (which yield better color separation), you can purchase them at most camera shops:

Deep Red Tricolor #29
Deep Green Tricolor #61
Deep Blue Tricolor #47B
