I have some questions about the configuration settings of my JVC RS45 projector.

1. HDMI Input
I can selecact Standard (16-235), Enhanced (0-255) or Super White (16-255).

What is the setting that should be used when using a HTPC with:
- Blu-Ray content to play
- Media Player Classic Home Cinema
- madVR as output renderer (set to PC levels 0-255 as RGB output levels)
- LAV video filter (RGB set to 'untouched' in LAV video filter)
- NVIDIA GTX460 with default 1080p23 profile BUT with n vidia fix during installation (for further information about this fix check http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=216099&view=findpost&p=1328716)

2. Color Space
I can select YCbCr (4:4:4), YCbCr (4:2:2) or RGB. It seems that only RGB seems to show the correct colours. I thought Blu-Ray specification was 4:2:2?

Sounds like you should be using "Enhanced" and "RGB." No idea really about colour space though...

IIRC, doesn't both AMD and NV converted to RGB before sending out signal anyway? Don't quote me on it, but I believe madshi recommend using RGB for the least amount of conversion.

thanks for your replies guys. I found out that I need to set my projector on 0-255 for hdmi and color space on RBG.

Another question. I just found out that the RS45 has a second color space setting (in the picture adjust settings so NOT in the hdmi settings). The manual says that you can switch the color space display of the projector output.

Settings to choose from are:

- Standard
Equivalent to the HDTV color space

- Wide 1
Equivalent to the color space of the DCI standard

- Wide 2
A color space that is broader than Wide 1

Any idea which I have to choose when looking at my config?

my config:
HTPC with:
- Blu-Ray content to play
- Media Player Classic Home Cinema
- madVR as output renderer (set to PC levels 0-255 as RGB output levels)
- LAV video filter (RGB set to 'untouched' in LAV video filter)
- NVIDIA GTX460 with default 1080p23 profile BUT with n vidia fix during installation (for further information about this fix check http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=216099&view=findpost&p=1328716)
