Runco VX-4000ci manual Projector Configuration, ISF Calibration, Digital Inputs

DIGITAL INPUTS:

• DVI 1 / DVI 2

These are High Definition Digital inputs. Runco recommends using these digital inputs whenever possible. Using the DVI 1 and DVI 2 inputs ensures the highest video quality because the signal is carried in the digital domain throughout the entire signal path, from source component output, through the DHD and finally into the projector. This maintains maximum signal purity.

Use these inputs to connect Digital High Definition sources that have a DVI output, such as HD tuners and set top boxes, satellite receivers, DVD players, etc.

PROJECTOR CONFIGURATION

Now that your DHD Controller has been installed, it’s time to get it configured for use in your system. The VX- 4000ci/DHD is defaulted for RGBHV interface between the DHD controller and the VX-4000ci projector. Superior picture quality will be obtained if you connect the two units together with a DVI cable. Please follow the proce- dures and recommendations below:

Changing from RGBHV to DVI output: Connect the controller and projector with RGBHV and follow the steps list- ed below on the projected OSD (on-screen display) or use the procedure using the florescent display on the con- troller.

1.First, connect all sources (DVD, VCR, Satellite receiver, etc.) to the DHD, if this has not already been done. Also, ensure all sources are ON and functioning, if possible.

2.Connect the phone line (RJ-11) between Projector and controller.

3.Press MENU and ENTER at the same time, this enables service mode.

4.Press Up Arrow once, display should read SERVICE.

5.Press ENTER.

6.Press Down Arrow four times, display should say DISPLAY DEVICE.

7.Press ENTER.

8.Display should now say CONFIGURE.

9.Press ENTER.

10.Use Left or Right Arrow to select Input 2 for DVI input.

11.Press ENTER. Projector should now be set for DVI input.

ISF Calibration

The VX-4000ci/DHD system 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 there is a need to calibrate each and every input sepa- rately.

When beginning calibration of the DHD, it is imperative that at least one of the analog SD inputs (S-Video or RCA Component) be calibrated first. In doing this, the projector is calibrated to the controller. After one of the SD inputs is calibrated, calibration of the HD analog or DVI sections can follow.

Once the initial settings have been completed, the “front panel display” (color, tint, sharpness, etc.) can be adjust- ed for each aspect ratio. The calibration procedures for these adjustments are outlined in “picture quality adjust- ments”.
