1.4 Description, Features and Benefits

The CL-810 is available with or without the SDC-1, a versatile, high-performance digital video switcher. By providing a single, convenient connection point for home theater components that is separate from the projector, the SDC-1 gives designers and installers greater flexibility in terms of projector placement. It also simplifies the task of adding components after the projector has been installed.

Discrete IR and RS-232 control make custom installation seamless, while discrete source and aspect ratio selection accommodate any automation control system.

3Installation

To install batteries in the remote control, push the battery cover and slide it off. Install the two AAA batteries with the correct polarity and then replace the cover.

• Do not mix an old battery with a new one or different types of batteries.

• If you will not use the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid damage from battery leakage.

• Make sure that there is nothing obstructing the infrared beam between the remote control and the IR receiver on the projector.

• If the effective range of the remote control decreases, or it stops working, replace the batteries with new ones.

• The remote control may fail to operate if the infrared remote sensor is exposed to bright sunlight or fluorescent lighting.

• Ambient conditions may possibly impede the operation of the remote control. If this happens, point the remote control at the projector, and repeat the operation.

• The Ø icon appears on the screen when you press a button for an unavailable function.

Throw Distance Throw distance is the distance measured from the front of the projector to the screen.

➤

This is an important calculation in any projector installation as it determines whether or not you have enough room to install your projector with a desired screen size and if your image will be the right size for your screen.

You can quickly estimate the throw distance by taking the width of the screen and multiplying it by the lens throw ratio; see roughly how far back the projector should be positioned from the screen in order to project a focused image large enough to fill the screen.

Estimating Throw Distance

Throw Distance (TD) = Screen Width (w) x Lens Throw Ratio

CL-810 Throw Ratio: 1.80 to 2.43 CL-810 Ultra Throw Ratio: refer to Table 3-3

Throw Ratio - CL-810 CineWide: The CineWide version of the CL-810 also offers a

throw ratio of between 1.80 and 2.43. It uses a prismatic-style anamorphic lens that compresses the image height (as opposed to the cylindrical anamorphic lenses used with the CL-810 Ultra, which stretch the image width). Using this lens type does not change the projector throw ratio.

Operation

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 -- Sencore VP401 Multimedia Video Generator, Ovation Multimedia 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.

Filter: The Filter setting controls the behavior of the Sharpness control. The available settings depend on the vertical resolution of the input signal, as follows:

• With a 480i signal, you can apply the sharpness control to either the input signal (1),

the output signal (2), both (3) or neither (0).

• With a 480p or higher-resolution signal, the sharpness control is applied only to the

output signal and only when you set the Sharpness Filter to “on” (1).

The Sharpness setting has no effect if the Sharpness Filter (see below) is set to 0.

White Balance: To remove any trace of color from the white areas of the projected image, choose White Balance from the Set Up menu and press ENTER.

• Gamma: “Gamma” is a global setting that determines how gray shades are displayed between minimum input (black) and maximum input (white) for all signals. A good gamma setting helps to optimize blacks and whites while ensuring smooth transitions for the “in-between” values utilized in other grays. Unlike “Brightness” and “Contrast” controls, the overall tone of your images can be lightened or darkened without changing the extremes and all images will be more vibrant while still showing good detail in dark areas.

PRE

In all but the most unusual situations, the appropriate “Gamma Selection” (see below) will produce accurate colors and a satisfying contrast level. However, it is sometimes necessary to adjust the red, blue and green gamma curves individually. To do this, select Gamma from the White Balance sub-menu and use the left- and right-arrow buttons to manipulate the on-screen slidebars.

•Gain: Use the Gain controls to correct color imbalances in the bright areas of the image. A good way to do this is to use a test pattern consisting mostly of solid white areas, such as an 80 IRE “window” pattern. If the white areas contain traces of red, green or blue, decrease the Gain for that color.

• Offset: Use the Offset controls in the White Balance sub-menu to correct color imbalances in the dark areas of the image. A good way to do this is to use a test pattern consisting mostly of dark gray areas, such as a 30 IRE “window” pattern. If the gray areas contain traces of red, green or blue, decrease the Offset for that color.

Gamma Selection: The normal gamma setting of 2.2 is correct for almost all signals and conditions. If excess ambient light washes out the image and it becomes difficult or impossible to see details in dark areas, lower the gamma setting to compensate. This will improve contrast while maintaining good details for blacks. Conversely, if the image is washed out and unnatural, with excessive detail in black areas, increase the setting. Again, good gamma improves contrast while maintaining good details for blacks and whites.

SD Enhance: The SD Enhance menu gives you options for improving the quality of standard-definition, 480i images. (For 480p and higher-definition images, the controls in this menu are disabled.) Keep in mind that these controls add frequencies that are not present in the original signal, and may make images appear “noisy” if misused.

• H Enhance/V Enhance: These controls can improve the apparent horizontal and/or vertical resolution of the image.

• Chroma Enhance: This control adds chroma (color information) to the input signal and can make colors appear more vibrant and saturated.

• H Threshold/V Threshold/Chroma Threshold: Set these to +11 or higher to activate the enhancement controls described above. Generally, the higher the threshold, the more noticeable the enhancements you make will be.

Operation

RVR Adjust: Use the RVR Adjust control to increase or decrease the Reflectance Volume Regulation setting. RVR lets you control the aperture or iris size (the physical opening through the lens; similar to an “f-stop” on a camera). Doing so allows you to optimize brightness and contrast according to the amount of ambient light in the viewing area.

Use a higher setting for rooms with lots of ambient light. Use a lower setting for more “theater-like” viewing conditions (little or no ambient light).

Image Over Scan: Image Over Scan pushes the outside edge of the active picture area of the video signal out beyond the edge of the display area.

Some television programs are produced based on the assumption that older television sets may not display the outer edges of the broadcast picture area. Over scan effectively trims away these inactive, outer edges and enlarges the remaining portion of the image to fill the display area.

Use the on-screen slidebar to select the desired amount of over scan.

For HDTV, DVDs and other video sources, Image Over Scan is generally not necessary or desirable.

Image Shift: The Image Shift menu allows you to precisely center the image on the screen. (These controls are available only with a 480i source signal.)

• Horizontal: This control moves the image right or left within the area of available pixels.

• Vertical: This option moves the image up or down within the area of available pixels.

Video Black Level: This control compensates for incoming elevated black levels present in certain video signals, and ensures that blacks in the display are neither “crushed” (where dark grays appear black) nor excessively elevated (where blacks appear dark gray). By default, the projector automatically determines the best setting according to the type of incoming video signal:

Lamp Power: Select Lamp Power from the Set Up Menu to adjust the lamp output level. You can choose to run the lamp as bright as possible (250W; this is the default setting) or you can choose the lower (200W) setting. Generally, lower lamp output can prolong the life of the lamp, but decreases brightness.

Remote Control: The Remote Control menu shows you the primary and secondary infrared (IR) codes to which the CL-810 will respond. The Primary IR code is permanently set to +20. The secondary IR code is also +20.

You can change the secondary IR code if either:

from the CL-810 remote control in ways that are unpredictable or undesirable.

• You have multiple CL-810 projectors and want to control them independently, as opposed to broadcasting commands from a single remote to all of them. In this scenario, you can use multiple remotes programmed to use different IR codes. Or, you can use a single remote and change the IR code as needed to address a specific projector.

When you change the secondary IR code, the remote sends that code instead of the primary IR code.

Specifications

Table 7-1. CL-810 Specifications (continued)

Brightness and Contrast: Cinema Standards Measurement System (CSMS)

Specifications

- Brightness*: 14.5 to 21.6 foot-Lamberts (fL)

- Contrast Ratio*: 200:1 to 220:1 *Variable depending on RVR setting

These measurements are taken from the projector in a controlled, home theater environment. All measurements are made to ANSI/NAPM IT7.228-1997 specifications using the Photo Research PR-650 SpectraColorimeter and Minolta LS-100 Luminance Meter, Video Essentials test DVD and a 1.3 gain, 72-inch wide screen. The projector is calibrated to a color temperature of 6,500K and has a minimum of 150 hours of usage. The foot-Lambert (fL) is the unit of measurement used in commercial movie theaters to express image brightness at the screen surface. The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) specifies 16 fL as the target image brightness for film-based projectors using an open gate (without film in the projector). More importantly, today SMPTE specifies 12 fL as the target image brightness in Digital Cinema theaters. The foot-Lambert measurement is dependent on screen size, screen gain and projector light output.

Home Theater Calibration Specifications

- Light Output: 442 to 587 ANSI Lumens

- Contrast Ratio*: 200:1 to 220:1

These specifications are obtained by calibrating the projector as described above for CSMS measurements.

Industry-Standard Specifications

- Light Output: 1250 ANSI Lumens

- Contrast Ratio: 1500:1 to 3100:1

These are typical projector brightness and contrast specifications found in most companies’ sales literature. Runco includes these measurements in its literature to allow for direct comparison with other manufacturers’ projectors. These measurements are typically taken at 9,000K to 13,000K to get expected performance data when the projector is used in professional, commercial and industrial displays.
