Runco LS-5, LS-3 operation manual 9. RGB Adjust Sub-Menu, Operation

Operation

SatCo: Select SatCo from the Advanced menu to enable (On) or disable (Off) BrilliantColor processing, which improves brightness in grays and secondary colors by using the spoke light from the color wheel.

ConstantContrast: Select ConstantContrast from the Advanced menu to enable (On) or disable (Off) the ConstantContrast actuator in the optical engine. ConstantContrast uses a dynamic iris that modulates light to the DMD based on the actual content of the video material. Runco recommends that you disable ConstantContrast before adjusting Brightness, Contrast or other image settings.

Adaptive Contrast: Adaptive Contrast enhancement expands the light and dark portions of an output image according to the mean luminance of the input image.

RGB Adjust: To remove any trace of color from the white areas of the projected image, choose RGB Adjust from the Advanced menu and press ENTER. This displays the RGB Adjust sub-menu, shown in Figure 4-9.

•Gain: Use the Gain controls to correct color imbalances in the bright areas of the image. A good way to do this is to use a test pattern consisting mostly of solid white areas, such as an 80 IRE “window” pattern. If the white areas contain traces of red, green or blue, decrease the Gain for that color.

•Offset: Use the Offset controls in the RGB Adjust sub-menu to correct color imbalances in the dark areas of the image. A good way to do this is to use a test pattern consisting mostly of dark gray areas, such as a 30 IRE “window” pattern. If the gray areas contain traces of red, green or blue, decrease the Offset for that color.

The Gain controls increase or decrease the full-scale input range; the Offset controls shift the entire range, resulting in a change in brightness.
