Installation

After you have installed and adjusted the projector and lens (or lenses), you are ready to begin calibrating the RGBHV input (Input 1) to the SC-1.

environments, before the system ships.

Carefully assess the displayed image quality before proceeding with calibration. In most cases, it is not necessary to calibrate the projector inputs, as the DHD Controller gives you as much control as you will need over the image quality.

Only ISF-certified installation technicians should attempt the calibration procedures described here, and ONLY if absolutely necessary to accommodate an atypical installation.

Before proceeding, set the Display Device Input Source to RGB at the DHD Controller (refer to Selecting the Input Source on page 46). When finished calibrating Input 1, repeat the procedure described in this section for Input 2 (DVI), if that input is being used.

To perform the calibration, you will use the SC-1 built-in keypad (Figure 2-3)or TheaterMaster Remote Control, shown in Figure 3-28and described on the pages that follow. Once you have completed the projector input calibration, the end user can use the DHD Controller Remote Control (Figure 2-6)to adjust input image quality, change aspect ratios, switch between sources and more. (The exception to this rule is when sources are connected directly to the projector. Although this is technically possible, Runco advises against this.)
