Operation

•Noise Filter: To apply noise filtering to the input signal, select Noise Filter from the Input Color menu. The Noise Filter is useful for clearing up noisy images from 480i video sources.

Use the left- or right-arrow buttons to select the desired amount of noise reduction, keeping in mind that higher settings (which reduce high frequencies) may also “soften” the image.

ISF Day - Display Color: Refer to ISF Night - Display Color.

ISF Day - Input Image: Refer to ISF Night - Input Image.

ISF Day - Input Color: Refer to ISF Night - Input Color.

Save ISF Settings: Whenever you make a change to the ISF settings, you should always save it. Select Save ISF Settings from the ISF Calibration menu to do this. In the event you ever have to perform a System Reset, you can restore the saved ISF settings by selecting Restore Saved Settings in the Service menu. (System Reset and Restore Saved Settings are described on page 77.)

Output Shift: The controls in the Output Shift menu are similar to those in the Input Position menu, except that they change the characteristics of the output signal. These settings are saved independently for each aspect ratio.

To save the Output Shift settings for the current aspect ratio so that they can be restored after a System Reset (described on page 77), press repeatedly to highlight “Save.” Then, press ENTER.

Splash Configure: Use the Splash Configure menu to customize the appearance of the start-up message that appears on the vacuum fluorescent display upon power-up.

•Owner Name/ISF Calibrated/ISF Other: You can have the VX-44d/-55d display the owner’s name, your name, the phrase “ISF Calibrated” and/or any other string, up to 20 characters in length.

Use the up or down cursor button to select a character. Use the right and left cursor buttons to change the cursor position. Press MENU when you have finished entering text. Then, check the “Splash Enable” box to have the VX-44d/-55d display the information you enter here when it is turned on.

•Runco/ISF Logo Splash Screen Timers: When you turn on the VX-44d/-55d, it projects a welcome screen with the Runco logo followed by one with the ISF logo. Select Splash Timer from the Splash Configure menu to set the amount of time that these two images appear. The range is from 2 to 60 seconds, in one-second increments.

Use the up or down cursor button to select a timer value to adjust. Use the right or left cursor button to change the timer value. Press MENU when you have finished configuring both timers.

OSD Position: Select OSD Position, press ENTER and use the arrow buttons to change the size and position of the OSD controls.

The integration of flexible installation options is another highlight of these projectors. They support up to 10-point digital keystone correction, making setup simple and adaptable to various room configurations. This flexibility ensures that no matter the space, users can achieve a perfectly aligned and geometrically accurate image.

Runco has also designed the VX-55D and VX-44D with user-friendly interfaces, including intuitive remote controls and on-screen menus. Both projectors come equipped with multiple HDMI inputs, allowing users to connect various devices seamlessly. Additionally, they support 3D content playback, a feature that has become increasingly important for enhancing the cinematic experience.

Energy efficiency is a consideration in the design of these projectors as well, making them not only high-performance devices but also more sustainable than many of their counterparts.
