Items without markings are for all models.
“JVC Projector Calibration Software” is a tool that enables you to use the projector in an optimal condition at all times
with the use of a commercially available optical sensor.
Calibration Feature
By performing a precise calibration with easy procedures in optimizing the projected images, which changes
depending on the installation conditions, such as installation position of the main unit, lens shift/zooming position,
you can enjoy high-quality images that are suitable for the installation conditions. You can also maintain the projector
in an optional state by correcting distortions, such as those in the color balance, which are caused by the prolonged
use of the projector.
Environment Settings
Adjusts the video settings according to the installation environment to minimize any influence on the image quality
by objects, such as white walls or indirect illumination.
Import/Export Image Quality Adjustment Data
Enables you to save the image setting data to a PC from the projector, or imported from a PC to the projector via the
LAN terminal.
Gamma Data Adjustment Feature
Allows you to adjust the gamma curve of the projector according to your preference.
* “JVC Projector Calibration Software” is designed to adjust gamma and color display by changing the settings of the
projector.
* Please note that setting of the projector is changed by using this software.

Pre-installation Check
Before starting the installation, ensure that no program is running.
During installation or calibration, set the PC to the administrator mode, and disable the screen mode and energy-
saving mode of the PC.
Do not connect the optical sensor to the PC before installing the driver.
Installing Software
Double-click the download file “JVC_PJ_Calibration9_en_v***.zip” to start installation. Download the file to a
directory, and unzip the file.
The following file is created.
● “JVC_PJ_Calibration9_v***.msi”
Double-click “JVC_PJ_Calibration9_v***.msi” to start installation.
1 “Welcome to the JVC Projector Calibration Software Setup Wizard” window appears. Click the [Next] button.
2 “Select installation Folder” window appears. You can proceed to the next step with the destination unchanged,
or designate a folder if necessary.
3 “Confirm installation” window appears. Click the [Next] button.

wizard. Check to ensure that short-cut icons are automatically created both in the Start menu and on the
Desktop.
Caution
* This software does not run on its own. To run the program, you need to connect the optical sensor to a PC via USB
cable, and the PC to a projector via LAN cable.
Installing the Optical Sensor Driver
Install the driver of the optical sensor to be used.
Do not run the software supplied with the optical sensor when using this calibration software.

Connecting the Projector to a PC directly
Connect the projector to a PC via LAN cable.
Set the TCP/IP for the PC and “Network” of the projector.
● Network Settings of the Projector
Open the “Network” item under the “Function” tab in the menu.
Set “DHCP Client” to “Off”.
Set the “IP Address” of the projector to an address different from that of the
PC.
Example: PC [192 168 0 1 ]
Projector [192 168 0 2 ]
Set “Subnet Mask” and “Default Gateway” of the projector to the same
values as the PC.
Example: Subnet Mask [255 255 255 0 ]
Default Gateway [192 168 0 254 ]
After pressing “Set”, press OK to apply new settings.
* For details on the PC settings, refer to the instruction manual of the PC. Procedures for setting up Windows7 are
described in P. 19.

Precautions Prior to Use of Calibration
• Calibrated result might be different from the factory default data, depending on the operating environment.
• During calibration, set the PC to the administrator mode, and disable the screen mode and energy-saving mode of
the PC.
• After turning on the power of the projector, set to the Picture Mode for performing calibration. Start calibration after
waiting for about 30 minutes.
• Make sure the brightness of the ambient light in the room is the same as that of the operating environment where the
projector is used.
• Do not cast a strong ambient light directly on the screen.
• Set the “ECO Mode” of the projector to “Off” when the calibration software is
running.
• Do not use the remote control and the operation panel when the calibration
software is running.
• Make sure to input video signals when the calibration software is running.
• Do not set to the HIDE mode when the calibration software is running.
• The calibration does not work when displaying 3D image.
• Calibration does not work when the input signals are 25 Hz and 50 Hz. Input 24 Hz video signals such as movies, or
PC signals.
• Calibration does not work when Color Profile has been set to Off or x.v.Color. Set to other Color Profile before
performing the calibration.
• Calibration does not work when Lens Aperture has been set to “Auto 1” or “Auto 2”. Set the lens aperture to "Manual"
before performing the calibration.
• If an error message is prompted while using the calibration software, close the application and restart the projector.
Wait at least 5 minutes before restarting.
• If the application is ended due to the error message while backup, importing or exporting is in progress, restart the
PC, and perform the operations again.
* Upon saving the data after performing calibration, a backup file will be saved automatically to the folder selected in
“Setting”. All data of the projector set prior to this process will be overwritten.
