2.2 Screen Assembly

PRE
The Screen Assembly comprises all of the components associated with the screen which is attached on the outer side of the installation wall. The Screen Assembly is packaged separately from the Chassis Assembly, to facilitate unpacking and installation. Southco-type latches at the bottom of the screen secure the screen in the closed position.
A hinge system is provided at the top of the screen assembly that interfaces to the top flange of the chassis assembly. This hinge allows the screen assembly to be “hooked” from the top during initial installation. Two, small retaining brackets attach to the top rear of the screen frame. These prevent the screen from “hopping” out of the hinge hook and thus secure the screen.

IMINAR

2.3 Chassis Installation Brackets

Figure 2-1. Chassis Installation Brackets

Bottom Brackets: The bottom brackets support all of the weight of the chassis
assembly, and provide a pivot point while the chassis is “rotated into” the wall opening. Once installed, these can be screwed into the wall opening with sheet rock screws.
Top Flange: The top flange locks the top of the chassis into position and stops the rotation of the chassis as it is being installed. An installation tool is provided to set the exact distance between the bottom brackets and the top flange, as this is a critical dimension. Shims can be used along the top of the flange if necessary to compensate for any wall irregularities.
Bottom and Side Light Blocks: Light blocks at the bottom and sides of the screen complete the chassis-wall-screen interface. These are installed right before installing the screen, and minimize stray light leakage from behind the screen.

System Description
CW-95DHD

2.4 Other System Components

Power Supply: The Power Supply converts incoming 100-240 VAC power to the internal working voltages required by the lamp ballast, video processor and other system components. A switch is provided to connect or disconnect the system from the AC power source.
Cooling Fans: Cooling of the CineWall is accomplished by a combination of forced air and radiant cooling. The power supply is cooled by its own integral fans.
Cover: The center chamber of the chassis where all the active components are housed is covered by an interlocked sheet metal cover, secured by several quarter-turn screws. Removing this cover exposes all the serviceable parts, including the display engine, the lamp system, the power supply and the interface electronics. This cover is electrically interlocked so that the lamp and 380V supply cannot be activated while the cover is open.
Y
Air Filter: As mentioned above, the air filter is installed in the plenum at the bottom center of the chassis. This filter can be accessed and replaced by a service person by opening the screen and reaching in to replace it. The air filter is Runco part number 379-0012-00.
Fold Mirror: The fold mirror reflects light from the display engine and directs it towards the screen. This fold mirror is mounted using a three-point mount system. Three large (5”x5”) mirror mounts and adhesive pads are used along with springs to provide an adjustable mounting scheme. Four safety catches secure the fold mirror in place, in case of adhesive failure of the mirror mounts.
The fold mirror is mounted to hat sections on the slant back wall of the chassis. The mirror is calibrated at the factory, and is not intended to be adjusted in the field.

Power Requirements The CineWall requires clean, noise-free AC power. The power cord provided with the

CineWall is 6 feet (1.83 meters) long. In order to use it, the power outlet must be no more than 48 inches (1.22 meters) from the cable openings on the right side of the chassis. If the outlet is farther away, substitute a longer power cord for the one provided with the CineWall; do not use a power strip or extension cord. If you use a substitute power cord, ensure that it is a UL- or CSA-approved, three-conductor (18 cord rated at 10 amps minimum.

Site Access The CineWall is shipped in two containers: one for the screen assembly and one for the

chassis and related hardware. The shipping container dimensions are as shown below.

Due to its extraordinarily high level of video processing performance, the DHD Controller may distribute video signals with a perceptible level of audio latency. In order to easily solve this issue, Runco recommends using the DHD Controller with a high-quality audio receiver that has the ability to effectively synchronize audio and video signals.
Most mainstream audio receiver/switchers have the ability to synchronize the audio and video to the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) prescribed tolerances. According to the ATSC, the sound program should never lead the video program by more than 15 milliseconds, and should never lag behind the video program by more than 45 milliseconds.
In addition, many A/V receivers introduce additional latency that needs to be compensated for during the installation. latency given different signal input timings.

Additional Considerations Here are some other considerations and tips that can help improve your installation, avoid

damage, prevent personal injury and prolong operating life:
• Keep the ambient temperature constant and below 35°C (95°F). Keep the display away
from heating and/or air conditioning vents. Changes in temperature may cause drifts in the display circuitry, which may affect performance.
• Keep the CineWall away from devices that radiate electromagnetic energy such as
motors and transformers. Common sources of these include slide projectors, speakers, power amplifiers and elevators.
• Handle the unit carefully when installing or carrying it. Use the built-in handles; DO NOT
touch or hold the screen face.
• Set the unit away from heat, excessive dust, and direct sunlight.
• Protect the inside of the unit from liquids and small metal objects.
• Do not hit or scratch the screen surface as this causes flaws on the surface of the
screen.
DO NOT spray liquid of any kind on the screen. It can drip down the screen and
wick up between the layers. When liquid gets between the screen layers, it is impossible to remove and the screen is ruined!

When you receive your CineWall shipment, check the shipping containers for damage. If there are signs of damage or rough handling, it is recommended that you have an agent of the carrier present when the equipment is unpacked. If the shipping containers do not appear to be damaged, move them to the installation site before opening them.
As you unpack each container, check all parts against the shipping documents. The CineWall is protected in the shipping containers. Unpack them carefully, inspecting the chassis and screen for scratches, dents or other signs of damage. If the equipment is damaged, save all packing materials and notify both Runco and the carrier immediately.
Proceed as follows to unpack your CineWall:
1. Remove the top of the shipping container for the chassis and associated hardware.
2. Lift the box containing the hardware up off of the foam inserts and set it aside.

Picture

Picture Use the controls in the Picture Menu to calibrate your CineWall for optimum picture
quality.
The CineWall 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 DHD Controller input separately.
Although it may be possible to obtain satisfactory picture quality using the naked eye and regular program material, Runco recommends using an external test pattern source (Ovation Multimedia, Digital Video Essentials or AVIA test DVD or equivalent) for best results.
Connect your test pattern source to the input that you are calibrating and proceed as follows. Perform the adjustments in the order listed here.

Left/Right Up/Down Width Height Overscan Overscan Mode Phase Tracking
Some television programs are produced based on the assumption that older television sets may not display the outer edges of the broadcast picture area. Overscan effectively trims away these inactive, outer edges and enlarges the remaining portion of the image to fill the display area.
For HDTV, DVDs and other video sources, Overscan is generally not necessary or desirable.
This control defines the amount of overscan applied to the image. The range is from 0
to 20. There are two overscan modes:
•In Crop mode, each increment adds a mask at the top, bottom, left and right edges of the source image equal to 0.5% of the displayed horizontal resolution (1% total). A setting of 10, for example, crops the image 5% on all sides or 10% total.
•In Zoom mode, each increment adds a factor to the scaling of the source image so that the vertical and horizontal resolutions are 100% plus 1% increments of the size determined by the aspect ratio function. A setting of 10, for example, zooms in on the image 5% on all sides or 10% total.
Figure 5-6 illustrates the effect of each overscan mode setting.

For best results, use a good test pattern such as a smooth gray consisting of a clear pattern of black and white pixels, or a similar “half on, half off” graphic image. Adjust the slidebar until the image stabilizes and each pixel is clearly defined. You may notice that you can stabilize the image at more than one point. Use either setting in such cases.
PRE
Tracking (RGB or Component sources): Tracking determines the frequency of the pixel sampling clock, indicated by the number of incoming pixels per line, so that all pixels generated by a particular source are sampled.
Steady flickering or several soft vertical stripes or bands across the entire image indicates poor pixel tracking. Proper pixel tracking helps ensure that the image quality is consistent across the screen, that aspect ratio is maintained and that pixel phase (see above) can be optimized.
Tracking has been optimized.

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 (Pr), green (Y) or blue (Pr), decrease the Gain for that color.
•Offset: Use the Offset controls 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 (Pr), green (Y) or blue (Pr), decrease the Offset for that color.

Used correctly, the Gamma control can improve contrast while maintaining good details for blacks and whites. 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 improves 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.

Input Color: The Input Color controls are similar to those in the Display Color menu (see above), but adjust the color balance of the incoming signal. These settings are also saved independently for each input and display mode.
Gain/Offset (HD1, HD2 and Component/SCART inputs only): These controls operate similarly to those in the the Y, Pb and Pr signal components rather than the red, green and blue channels.
• Chroma Delay: use the Chroma Delay control to correct a mis-aligned image from a Composite or S-Video source. Chroma delay in an image causes color shifts to occur to the left of the vertical edge transitions, producing artificial shadows or a “halo” effect. If necessary, adjust this setting to eliminate them.
•Noise Filter: To apply noise filtering to the input signal, select Noise Filter from the Input Color menu. The Noise Filter is useful for clearing up noisy images from 480i video sources.
Use the left- or right-arrow buttons to select the desired amount of noise reduction, keeping in mind that higher settings (which reduce high frequencies) may also “soften” the image.

HDMI: If the Auxiliary Video Information (AVI) infoframe contains color space and/or range data, the CineWall uses that information. Otherwise, for RGB sources, the CineWall uses the RGB-Video color space. For component SDTV and EDTV resolutions, REC601 is used. For other component video resolutions, REC709 is used.
RGB: If Hsync or Vsync signals are present, the CineWall uses the RGB-PC color space. Otherwise, REC601 is used for SDTV and EDTV sources, and REC709 for all other sources.
Component: For SDTV and EDTV resolutions, the CineWall uses the REC601 color space. For all other resolutions, REC709 is used.

6.1 Cleaning

Dirt is everywhere, and unless the CineWall is in a super-clean room, from time to time you will need to clean the screens, mirrors and/or lens.
Cleaning products and how to use them: For mirrors and screens, a foam spray cleaner works well. It is sold under different names in different parts of the world. It is available from many janitor supply companies or building maintenance supply companies. Ask for Claire #50 glass cleaner, or Sprayway #50 glass cleaner. It is probably sold under a local name, but it all comes from one company. If you ask for either of the two names above (it is sold under both), you will get this cleaner under the local name.
This cleaner contains no ammonia and works well on glass (screens, lenses, mirrors) and acrylic (screens). Spray it on the mirror, but not on the screen. For screens, spray it on
the cloth, not the screen.
DO NOT spray liquid of any kind on the screen. It can drip down
the screen and wick up between the layers. When liquid gets between the screen layers, it is impossible to remove, and the screen is ruined!
DO NOT wipe the inside of the screen for any reason. This can cause immediate and permanent damage to the screen.
Wipe the mirror or screen gently with a lint-free cloth or lint-free paper (refer to Cloth to use, below). Turn the cloth over to the dry side and continue wiping to take up the haze.
• Glass Wax™ is another good cleaner for mirrors and glass screens, but it does not work well on acrylic screens. It is a liquid in a can. You spread it on, let it dry, then wipe it off.
• Windex™ works well, too. Just don’t spray it on the screen.

Cleaning the Screen, Mirrors and Lens

Cloth to use: White cotton cloth is better for cleaning than colored cloth. The dyes in some colored cloth tend to make it less absorbent.
Paper towels tend to leave lint and are therefore not recommended for cleaning lenses. A better paper towel for cleaning is Scott® Shop Towels. These blue, lint free, paper towels are widely available at auto parts stores, home improvement stores and hardware stores.
Cheesecloth is another good choice. This open-weave cotton material is light and absorbent.

Or use one of the cleaning products designed specifically for picking up dust.
• Pledge Grab-It™, from Johnson
• Swiffer™, from Proctor and Gamble.
These are synthetic wipes that have a static charge that holds onto dust. They do a very good job of picking up dust and leaving no lint behind. However, they will not wipe away grease or oil, such as fingerprints, and they can’t be used with liquid cleaners.
Cleaning lenses: Clean lenses as you would the glass mirrors. Use a soft, absorbent cotton cloth rather than a paper towel. Because the lens is small, it is easier to spray the cleaner (if you use one) on the cloth, not the lens itself.

How to Maintain Lamp
Life

6.3 Filter Replacement

PRE
There are some actions that can shorten lamp life:
• Turning off AC power when the lamp is on. (Turn off the lamp with the remote and let it
cool until the fans stop; then turn off AC.)
• Turning a lamp on and off rapidly. (The lamp should be allowed to heat up fully before
turning it off, at least three minutes.)
Clean, cool air is essential for proper CineWall operation.
When the air filter gets dirty, change it. Unfortunately, there is no absolute rule about when to change an air filter. For some installations the environment has clean, dust-free air, in which case the air filter may be good for a year or more.
In other environments, the air full of dust and dirt all the time. The air filter might have to be changed every month. Of course, it also depends on how many hours per day or per week the lamp is on.
IMINAR
L
Y
Determining a Changing
Schedule
Remove and inspect the air filter after three months of operation. Make a note of the air filter’s condition. Check it again after six months of operation.
These two inspections will give you some idea of how often the filter needs changing. If it doesn’t need changing after six months, inspect it again in a year. As long as the environment doesn’t change, you can build an appropriate schedule in this way.
If new construction occurs in the vicinity of the CineWall, beware; new construction usually means DUST.

Isolating Faulty Parts If you suspect that a part may be faulty, replace it with a known-good one if available. This

is a very effective way to find a problem. If the problem goes away, the original part was at fault.
If the problem persists, you haven’t found the problem yet, but you have learned something: the original part was not the problem. Re-install it and try something else.
If the Lamp Won’t Light: Check to make sure the lamp is actually not lit. If the lamp is lit, you can usually see light come through spaces between parts if you look carefully.
Many things can make the screen black, even though the lamp is lit:
• The Curtain may be on. If the curtain is black and it is on, the screen will be black.
• There is no source picture. With no valid picture coming in, the display will be black.
• There is something blocking the light to the screen. Is the lens cap on?
• There are parts missing in the optical path. If someone was working on the display, maybe he or she forgot to put something back in.

If the lamp is not lit:
• The CineWall may not be receiving AC power. Check the main AC switch on the display. It should be lit.
• The lamp ballast may not be receiving power. Some displays have a green LED near the main AC switch that lights when the 380-volt part of the power supply is working. It should be lit. Other displays may have an LED on the electronics module to show when this high voltage power is available.
Always turn off the AC power and remove the power cord before working inside the display and before removing a lamp.
• If the lamp is OK, try swapping the ballast in the same way. The lamp ballast provides power to the lamp. It is an electronic part, and all electronic parts are eventually subject to failure.
78 CineWall™ Installer/Integrator Manual
• A fan may have failed. Most fans are sensed. That means the electronics module
Note
knows whether they are running or not. If they don’t run when they should, the electronics module turns off the lamp and prevents it from striking (turning on) again.
Swapping other parts: You can swap electronics modules or fans in the same way to see if one is bad.
When you swap fans, always exchange fans of the same size.
Why not use a new part out of the box? It may seem like a good idea to take a new part out of the box and substitute it for a suspected part in the display. However, there is a small chance that the part in the box doesn’t work. If you test a part by putting in a known good part, you get better information.

• For a single command that takes no parameters, type the command followed by a carriage return; for example, to set the aspect ratio to Letterbox, type
LETTERBOX
• For a single command that takes a parameter, type the command, a space or a comma and the desired value followed by a carriage return; for example, to set the brightness to -10, type BRIGHTNESS
BRIGHTNESS,-10
• You can also send a string of multiple commands on a single line, separated by commas. For example, COMPOSITE,BRIGHTNESS the Composite video input, sets the brightness to 50 and sets the aspect ratio to 16:9. Command strings can be up to 255 characters long.

7.2 Serial Command Syntax

Avoid combining the ON or POWER 1 commands with other commands on a single line. After sending ON or POWER 1, allow at least five (5) seconds for the DHD ISF splash screen (refer to seconds for the DHD Controller to power up.
Once it does, it will accept and properly execute multiple serial commands.

Table 7-1 lists the RS-232 command set. The “Parameter (min/max)” column shows the valid parameter ranges, or “NA” for commands that take no parameters.
When you enter a valid command, the DHD Controller executes it and acknowledges it with a plus sign on the command line (+ >). When you enter an invalid command – one that is misspelled or followed by values outside the valid range for that command – the DHD Controller ignores it and returns a minus sign (- >).

The following serial commands are meant to emulate buttons on the remote control or DHD Con­troller front panel. Each button has its own serial command, so effectively it is as if you were using the IR remote only you’ll be doing so via serial commands. These commands provide active OSD responses just like the IR remote.
