ISF Modes and differences

[aliaskary77]

Hi,

RE: Elite 111

First, thanks to Turbe for ControlCal and to D-Nice for your ISF settings. I input ISF-Day and ISF-Night for my HTPC and PS3 and have been enjoying it. What a great improvment over Pure mode.

Question I had was about inherent differences in modes. I know the exact same settings for Performance, Pure and Movie will still not yield the exact same image because there are unique processing characteristics within each mode.

Is the same true for ISF-Day, ISF-Auto and ISF-Night? Would the same settings in all three modes give me the same or different image (assuming room light sensor is off for all three and the color sensor is not connected)?

If you used the same settings in isf Day and isf Night, the PQ would be the same (the ISF Memory Label Names are meaningless).

isf Auto may be a little different and many clone their isf Day settings when wanting more light output.

isf Auto Info HERE (http://www.controlcal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=89).

Thanks for the info.

I had seen the Auto thread before, and refering to posts 10 and 11 on there....

I wanted to leave D-Nice's ISF-Day and ISF -Night settings as they are. I wanted to use ISF-Auto as a seperate memory, so room light sensor is off (at least in the regular settings) and color sensor is not even connected, with ISF-Day settings entered into ISF-Auto, except sharpening is at 0 instead of -15. The image is dimmer than ISF-Day though, so I am assuming that the room light sensor is still being used and the standard menu settings is being ignored.

When using the HTPC, the sharpness helps my weak eyes read text a little easier. I do want to avoid the dimming, so my other option is to put the day settings with sharpness at 0 into ISF-Night instead as I hardly use night. Would have like to keep the option there though and use all three modes when desired.

isf Auto may be hard-coded to auto use/enable the light sensor (regardless of the User Menu Setting).

Make sure Intelligent Mode is Off. What is your Contrast at?

You may want to bump up the Contrast (but not >40) and see if that will work for you.

[aliaskary77]

Contrast is at 36, just like ISF-Day. Every setting from Day except for sharpness was entered into Auto. (intelligence off just like Day.)

Will try 38, bumping it up a little.

Any chance of getting an official response from Pio regarding ISF-Auto overriding User Menu settings?
