Overall Functional Description

The VX-1000ci system consists of the VX-1000ci Projector and PFP Controller. This system is unique in the way it is controlled; the control center for this system is located within the PFP Controller. The PFP Controller tells the Projector to turn on or off, controls its brightness, contrast, color temperature and more. All of this is accomplished by Runco's unique ComLink, which is the transfer of information between the PFP Controller and the Projector via their ComLink ports on a CAT5 cable (or similar) with RJ-11 ends. Therefore, only the PFP Controller's remote control is necessary to control all aspects of this system.

Besides being the system's control center, the PFP Controller is also a high-quality scaler, which outputs all signals in the native resolution of the VX-1000ci Projector. The Composite, S-Video and Component (non-progressive) signals are sent through the PFP Controller's 10-bit decoder, de-inter- laced, then scaled to the native resolution of the Projector. In the case of HDTV or progressive DVD signals, these are input to the RGB/Component port.

In the next chapter, the menu system will be described in detail. There are many adjustments available to perfect the VX-1000ci's image, including typical 'front-panel controls' as well as color temperature and other image-quality controls.
