Hey guys, just thought I'd share this for anyone that happens to be using BEYOND. In some of the more recent builds, a feature was added to the Colour Settings tab in Projector Settings, and now includes an advanced colour mode:
Using this, you can actually "tune" the linearity of your lasers, so that you get a perfect colour representation on all the cues, no matter the power differences in your projector. For example, my green laser had a habit of turning on well before the other lasers, so I could set the "minimum" of the blue & red higher so they came on with the green.
I used the blanking/linearity test pattern to roughly tune it first, going for a decent white balance and then adjusted the linearity of the laser so there weren't any single coloured tails. I'm still working on it, but here's where I'm at so far:
And before:
You can also have different palettes for high power and high saturation. Great fun, but takes a lot of time and patience to get right - but it's worth it in the end. The feature was actually designed to make use of the 6 colour outputs on the FB3-QS board, however it was recently changed so it would work with the older FB3's like the SE and XE.
