LightSpace CMS 9.0.0.2772 (10 February 2018) has been released, its the biggest even change to LightSpace CMS!

Light Illusion is delighted to announce a totally new development of the LightSpace CMS advanced Colour Engine, which is at the heart of the unparalleled calibration accuracy of LightSpace CMS.

In excess of 11 man-months of development work has gone into a total rewrite and enhancement of the advanced algorithms and mathematics that are at the core of the LightSpace Colour Engine, with visible and measurable improvements in all final calibration results.

Although the existing 2nd Generation Colour Engine has already proven to be more accurate, as well as faster, than any alternative calibration system, nothing is ever perfect, and we knew we could do better. And the new Gen3 Colour Engine does just that, enhancing every aspect of LightSpace based calibration.

Extensive Beta Testing has shown significant benefit across the board, with improved grey-scale tracking, better control of blacks & shadows, greater accuracy for skin tones and other memory colours, with greatly reduced Delta-E values overall.

The following graphs show the existing Gen2 Colour Engine vs. the new Gen3. The improved calibration is easy to see, with less random/noisy CIE plots, and greatly improved dE distribution.







Note: This is an OLED display calibrated with an i1D3 probe. For clarity those point below the probe's minimum brightness threshold have been removed from the CIE plots, but are included in the dE Distribution graphs.

With the Gen3 Colour Engine the total volumetric accuracy of any calibration has been greatly improved!

Release Notes

New 3rd Gen. Colour Engine greatly increasing calibration accuracy.

Added initial support for Eizo Prominence CG3145.

Edit Profile Points in pop-up window.

Add new graphs to PDF reports.

Added Super White option for VideoScale.

Improved probe switching and connecting operation.

Added a catch for patch read value with zero Z or negative value (XYZ).

All new features and developments are provided free to existing customers, continuing Light Illusion's approach of no additional costs or yearly support fees for all its software systems.

LightSpace Beta with Patch Stabilisation Insertion feature.

To fight drifting, the LightSpace had 2 features which are working very good; Drift Compensation and Anisometric patch sequence which both of them helps to final 3D LUT correction generation for better final results.

Using Drift Compensation feature enabled with 30 value for example, LightSpace it takes a one White measurement per 30 patches and at the end it's including to the correction 3D LUT any display 'drifting over the time' issues, we have seen that OLED's/Plasma's are not stable displays during the required measuring time and this features helps a lot to the final 3D LUT generation.

Anisometric patch sequence is helping a lot also and it's better suited to displays that have any form of ABL, such as Plasmas and many OLEDs, where Sequential patch ordering can cause display overheating (overheating can actually be an issue on any display that has high peak luminance outputs, as it can cause the display to drift. Anisometric patch sequence is using an algorithm to display the patches with one dark/one bright patch order in simple words.

We have seen with Plasmas that luminance drop because when the panel or electronics increase their temperature (or PSU overload), the display has sensors to panel and electronics area to monitor these changes, so to protect the panel/electronics, it's reducing the output to protect and prevent any damage.

With OLED's there strange shiftings and weird luminance changes from thermal changes to the pixels of the pattern area so to help the panel cool down there is added a Patch Stabilisation Insertion feature.

The Stabilisation feature you can find it to the 'Options' menu.



The main idea is to add black frames displayed for x.xx sec. time between each other colorpatch (for example 200ms of black patch) but there capability to select any color (any RGB triplet) and decide exact the time you want for these patches to be displayed in milliseconds. After testing we will find out which patch insertion is better, a black frame or a dark gray one...or which timing provides better results etc.

These 'Stabilisation' patches are presently only with 'profiling'; but to the official release there will be available to 'Manual Measure', for LightSpace DPS (free license level) users to be able to use them also.

LightSpace Beta with New Anisometric Patch Sequence

The way the current Anisometric patch sequence works causes a sub-harmonic frequency thermal drift in the WRGB OLED displays. The new Beta Anisometric set is defined to maintain a better overall patch power level, and helps remove the saw-tooth thermal instability response.



(Note: The Sequential patch sequence is designed to have a 'sawtooth' average power.)



Additionally, the color temp of the WOLED display changes over the duration of the profile (usually starting warm ...and ends cool.)... the New Anisometric set can improve the 'Colour Temp stability' as it has variable color temp across patch pairs.

The fact that the WRGB OLED's need different patch sequences to manage Thermal Instability during profiling shows that the displays suffer very badly from thermal instability, which will still be occurring during normal operation!

A 'good' display, that doesn't have such thermal issues, would show the same results regardless of the patch set used.



The new set is the best configuration you can get, as it is pure equal power, but may need to add Stabilisation patches, from the data we have, Black frame (0) or 10% Gray (26) for Stabilization of 350ms seems to improve the stability.

The results we have seen so far do suggest this is optimum for all displays with WRGB OLED screens, but different manufacturers/models may get slightly better results from other User Defined sequences, using the CSV patch set option.
