Sorry if this is a dumb question, but is this a standalone purchase for those of us who do not currently use ControlCAL? It appears that it is based on the above information, but I just wanted to make sure.

Thanks,
Justin

Edit: Just found confirmation (from turbe) on AVS that this does indeed include everything one needs to use ControlCAL and the patch.

[Turbe]

There is a special version of ControlCAL NA KRP-M Patcher (application to Upgrade/Patch and Downgrade/Remove Patch) included as well as ControlCAL Registered with 2 Display Profile Sets (1 being the new ISFccc Set for the Patched KRP-M's in North America).

If you need a USB Serial Adapter and 10' Serial Cable (including USPS Priority Mail Shipping to US Addresses), add $25.

[Turbe]

Some Questions posted elsewhere:

Turbe your a genuis! If a get the patch do I need a professional calibration? I'm in Iowa and don't have many choices for calibrators.

No, you can do your own ISFccc Adjustments

BTW, there are Pros that cover Iowa and soon, several Pros will have the ability to access the Patched KRP-M's ISFccc Interface (I will have a new list that will show which Professional Calibrators can do it if that is the option you want to go).

[Magnus_CA]

Will this patch give us 9-point gamma control?

Isn't there a limitation on the KRP's number of memory-input combinations?

[Magnus_CA]

What if we have 2 KRP's? Do we have to pay 2 x $149?

This is the same ISFccc Interface found in the PRO-101FD and PRO-141FD (Signature Elite Monitors) - same Controls, same Control Ranges same isf Day, isf Night, isf Auto and 9-Point Gamma Controls (3 Channels each).

Included in the Package is access to a f/w file and the special Display Profiles to access the patched ISFccc Interface which makes this possible.

No, it will be much less than $149 for the 2nd (only the 2nd will be discounted, not a 3rd or more though) - LMK what you think is fair.

[Magnus_CA]

$49, but this together with the 1st $149 and fees for an ISF calibrator (probably Robert B) to come out and calibrate is a little tough to swallow.

We need an EAP or group buy or something.

[Turbe]

D-Nice let me know he will be posting his patched KRP-500M ISFccc Settings here on this Forum. I'm sure others (who have meters) will do so as well.

I understand what you are posting.. a lot of work went into this and it is bringing the same functionality (Upgrade) as a display that is $1K - $1.5K more

I do look at it as saving you $900 - $1500 on each Display

I already see Posts from those who sold their KRP-M to get an Elite (to get the ISFccc capabilities) and are now posting that they are very unhappy/upset.

This isn't the place to get into it but the 151 does come with a stand and speakers too. I think only uber enthusiast level folks would pay the Elite premium for ISFccc by itself. I'm sure there are a few out there but life is far from fair when it comes to electronics. What about those folks that have had their KRP's professionally calibrated before the patch became available? They're SOL too but that's the brakes.

I don't want to discount your contribution in developing this software but without some sort of a creative promotion it'll be a while before I move forward with the purchase. Having just taken delivery of a 600m $150 isn't trivial.

[Krik]

Turbe,

First, let me thank you for putting a lot of work into this and allowing us "lowly" KRP owners to enjoy the benefits of the Elite series panels.

I'd like to second Magnus CA by asking that the second patch kit be priced at $49. Like him, the cost of the 600m alone has left me a bit strapped.

Also, could you please explain ISFccc Auto? Does it use the built in light sensor to know when to switch between Day and Night mode?

Finally, I know D-Nice will be posting 500m settings soon, which is great. But it kinda leaves us 600m owners in the dark. It's my understanding that the 600m settings are a lot different than the 500m, right?

Thanks again!

[Turbe]

That's correct, you wouldn't want to use 600M settings on a 500M.

I was comparing Monitor to Monitor (KRP-M to Signature Elite)

LOL "lowly" - you only have one of the best consumer displays available anywhere.. It's the Elite Owners that may be upset since they paid a lot more for their Display than you did (yet now you can have the same performance)

[bodosom]

I know, I know ... but ... when's soon?

Is there a particular reason those of us that are VE buyers get an extra discount?
