Automatic Lens Calibration

OptiCal (Primary Lens Calibration): OptiCal provides the ability to store and recall focus, zoom and position settings for the primary lens.

To enable OptiCal:

1.Select Installation from the Main Menu.

2.Select Geometry and Color from the Installation menu.

3.Select OptiCal from the Geometry and Color menu.

4.Press ENTER to check the box labeled OptiCal.

Note

1. OptiCal control is a preference setting and is retained between

power cycles.

2.OptiCal has no effect on the secondary anamorphic lens, only the primary lens.

5.Press EXIT to exit the Geometry and Color menu.

6.Select Calibration and Test Patterns from the Installation Menu.

7.Select OptiCal from the Calibration and Test Patterns Menu.

OptiCal gives you a choice of three types of lens calibrations:

A Reference calibration establishes a reference point (starting position) for measuring relative lens movement. All distances are measured from this reference point.

A reference calibration is lost when power is removed from the projector and occurs on every power-up as long as OptiCal is enabled.

A Motion calibration determines the characteristics of each motor and values are saved in the projector’s memory. If OptiCal is enabled and a motion calibration has previously been done, the projector automatically recalls these settings from memory when it’s being powered up and a motion calibration will not take place.

A Full calibration performs both a Reference calibration and a Motion calibration.

If no calibration has previously been done you may be prompted to do a Full calibration. If a motion calibration has been done, you will be prompted to complete a reference calibration. If both calibrations have been done, the OptiCal checkbox is checked and OptiCal enabled.

When OptiCal is enabled, the VX-44d/-55d performs a Reference calibration when the projector is turned on. The lens returns to its last saved position (or actual position, if no motion calibration has been done previously). Further adjustments to the zoom, focus and position are automatically saved.

When both OptiCal and Automatic Lens Calibration are enabled, the VX-44d/-55d performs a Full calibration when the projector is turned on. During calibration, the shutter closes and the status LED (see Figure 2-3)displays “LC.”

Note

If OptiCal is disabled (refer to OptiCal (Primary Lens Calibration)

above), the Automatic Lens Calibration setting has no effect.

VX-55D, VX-44D specifications

The Runco VX-55D and VX-44D projectors represent a pinnacle in home theater technology, offering expansive image quality and immersive viewing experiences. Runco, known for its commitment to delivering exceptional visual performance, has integrated numerous features and advanced technologies in these models.

One of the standout features of both the VX-55D and VX-44D is their native 1080p resolution, delivering stunningly sharp images with vibrant colors that capture the finest details. This high definition capability ensures that viewers can enjoy their favorite movies, sports, and gaming content with unparalleled clarity. The projectors utilize the latest DLP (Digital Light Processing) technology, which enhances brightness and color accuracy, providing a more vivid and lifelike picture.

Another impressive characteristic of the Runco VX series is its exceptional contrast ratios. With deep blacks and brilliant whites, these projectors offer a dynamic range that brings out subtle details in both shadow and highlight areas. This contrast performance is particularly beneficial for watching films in darker environments, where the depth of imagery is crucial for immersion.

In terms of color processing, the VX-55D and VX-44D incorporate Runco's proprietary ColorPalette technology. This system ensures accurate and rich color reproduction by utilizing a wide color gamut, allowing viewers to experience content as the creators intended. Coupled with advanced color management capabilities, users can further tweak their viewing experience to match their preferences.

The integration of flexible installation options is another highlight of these projectors. They support up to 10-point digital keystone correction, making setup simple and adaptable to various room configurations. This flexibility ensures that no matter the space, users can achieve a perfectly aligned and geometrically accurate image.

Runco has also designed the VX-55D and VX-44D with user-friendly interfaces, including intuitive remote controls and on-screen menus. Both projectors come equipped with multiple HDMI inputs, allowing users to connect various devices seamlessly. Additionally, they support 3D content playback, a feature that has become increasingly important for enhancing the cinematic experience.

Energy efficiency is a consideration in the design of these projectors as well, making them not only high-performance devices but also more sustainable than many of their counterparts. With a sleek aesthetic, the Runco VX-55D and VX-44D can seamlessly blend into any home theater setup, adding a touch of elegance while providing an extraordinary viewing experience.

In summary, the Runco VX-55D and VX-44D projectors are characterized by their high-definition resolution, advanced DLP technology, rich color processing, and flexible installation options, making them ideal choices for any home theater enthusiast looking to elevate their viewing experience.
