PRELIMINARY
Main Menu The Main Menu is the starting point for accessing all CinemaWall functions. Some menu
options are available only in “Installer Adjust” mode.
Picture Use the controls in the Picture menu to calibrate your CinemaWall for optimum picture
quality.
The CinemaWall has been designed to incorporate setup and calibration standards
established by the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF). The ISF has developed carefully
crafted, industry-recognized standards for optimal video performance and has
implemented a training program for technicians and installers to use these standards to
obtain optimal picture quality from Runco video display devices. Accordingly, Runco
recommends that setup and calibration be performed by an ISF-certified installation
technician.
All signal types require separate processing. Therefore, you need to calibrate each input
separately.
Although it may be possible to obtain satisfactory picture quality using the naked eye and
regular program material, Runco recommends using the following calibration tools for best
results:
External test pattern source – Ovation Multimedia, Video Essentials or AVIA test DVD
(or equivalent).
A blue filter (provided with many test DVDs), for color level and tint adjustments.
Connect your test pattern source to the input that you are calibrating and proceed as
follows. Perform the adjustments in the order listed here.
Brightness: On your external test pattern source, select a PLUGE pattern. (PLUGE is an
acronym for “Picture Line-Up Generation Equipment.”) Figure 4-3 shows a typical PLUGE
pattern.
