Have you longed for an easier way to achieve the best possible color from your display? Many flat panels and projectors have good built-in tools to dial in accuracy but nothing can compare to a LUT box.

I’ve recently received Murideo’s new Prisma Video Processor for review. It supports 3D Cube look-up tables which can contain up to 10,000 color-correction points for the most precise video calibration possible.

Most of the displays I review include calibration options like two-point grayscale adjustment, color management, and sometimes even a gamma curve editor. But these solutions always require some sort of compromise. Controls interact and perfect grayscale may mean sacrificing gamma accuracy or even contrast. What if there were a better way?

The Prisma Video Processor interfaces with CalMAN to provide an automated calibration solution for any video signal chain. Once installed, you simply connect it to a network, plug a meter into your laptop and fire up the auto-cal routine. In a couple of hours, you’ll have created a high-resolution look-up table that takes color accuracy to whole new level.

The Prisma is a single-source product so it only works for one player and one display. But unlike competing video processors, it doesn’t cost thousands of dollars. $999 will get some of the best color you’ve ever seen and a slick image enhancement feature called PrismaVue.

I’ll be working with the Prisma in my reference theater in hopes of achieving truly spectacular calibration results.

Chris Eberle

Chris' passion for audio began when he took up playing the bassoon at age 12. During his third year at the New England Conservatory of Music, he won a position with the West Point Band where he served for 26 years as principal bassoonist. He retired from the Army in 2013 and is now writing full time and performing as a freelance musician in Central Florida. As an avid movie lover, Chris was unable to turn away the 50-inch Samsung DLP TV that arrived at his door one day, thus launching him irrevocably into an obsession with home theater. Dissatisfied with the image quality of his new acquisition, Chris trained with the Imaging Science Foundation in 2006 and became a professional display calibrator. His ultimate theater desires were realized when he completed construction of a dedicated cinema/listening room in his home. Chris is extremely fortunate that his need for quality audio and video is shared and supported by his wife of over 25 years. In his spare time he enjoys riding his recumbent trike at least 100 miles per week, trying out new restaurants, going to theme parks and spending as much time as possible watching movies and listening to music. Chris enjoys bringing his observations and discoveries about every kind of home theater product to as many curious and well-informed readers as possible. He is proud to be a part of the Team and hopes to help everyone enjoy their AV experiences to the fullest.
