From CRTs to Calibration and Everything in Between

Welcome to episode two of The Front Row Podcast, and the first where we sit down with a guest - Jason Dustal! As a well-known and highly respected figure in the AV industry, Jason brings over 25 years of expertise as an ISF trainer and Level 3 calibrator, CTS certified professional, CEDIA certified instructor, and Certified for Envy Product Specialist. He also serves as co-chair on multiple CEDIA standards committees, helping shape best practices for video system design and calibration. His contributions have earned him a spot on Dealerscope’s “40 Under 40” list. In this episode, we dive into the basics of video calibration, things like why it matters, what to look for and what some TV settings actually do. From SDR on old CRT TVs to how calibration has evolved over the years, Jason walks us through where calibration started and where it’s headed. This is part one of a two-part series, with the next episode diving deeper into today’s standards such as HDR, tone mapping and much more!
