But does reduce if not remove the need to have it per port. And it was more the HDMI part of my statement that was important.

The digital levels output by modern devices are spot on from model to model, make to make. Black is black, and white is white, and all the in betweens fall into place. So ISF calibration can be applied at the output by an external device.

Though if you do still have analog devices, there will be issues with that, because they all vary slightly from one another. And per device tuning is needed. The simple solution to that, is don't use analog devices.


You have a point about the ISF monitor calibration capabilities of these AVRs and Pre-pros. As they do not seem to separate the input (source) adjustments from the output (monitor) adjustments they do not look like they would be very good for doing an ISF calibration of your monitor. They can be good for upscaling and deinterlacing and for making minor adjustments to correct for any source variations or other issues. As you say, ISF calibration is better done with an external video processor or in the monitor if it has ISF calibration capability.
