I'm not aware of any color calibration controls on the KFir board. However, the first step would be to calibrate your "original source" and whatever MPEG playback unit you're using to each other. Until you do that, you don't know which of the three devices in your setup to blame, really. I recommend that you get either the AVia test DVD (about US$38) and calibrate your TV first. Then if you're using a PC MPEG decoder board, rip the test patterns off the disc and use them to calibrate your board. Ideally now, your decoder board and DVD player should have identical displays given the same test stream. (Probably too much to ask, but try to get close.) Now you have a known source and a known playback device to test the KFir board against. $38 may seem a lot for a DVD, but I've found it very worthwhile. Having a calibrated TV is a good thing in general, not just for testing. This disc will also help you set up a surround-sound speaker set. Once you've got everything calibrated as well as you can, you should still expect some differences in color rendition. It's just the nature of the beast. -- = Video articles: http://tangentsoft.net/video/
