Introduction

Runco, the leading brand in luxury video solutions, proudly announces its new CineWall™
CW-95DHD in-wall video display, which offers custom home theater design and
installation professionals new levels of installation versatility and convenience while
achieving full-HD imagery perfection.

Combining the best of front projection’s exceptional image with the aesthetic of a giant
flat-screen display, the CineWall provides a high-performance, in-wall display solution for
rooms of distinction where high ambient lighting conditions exist, but nothing less than an
exceptional Runco cinema experience will suffice.

The CineWall combines an advanced, high-contrast ambient light-rejecting screen with
cinema-grade optics and a powerful display engine in a single, self-contained system. It is
designed for quick and easy installation into a dedicated, framed wall with a large opening.

Y

Designed exclusively for discriminating tastes, the CineWall is offered with Runco’s
proprietary external DHD™ video controller/processor/scaler. The DHD not only
incorporates Runco’s exclusive advanced Vivix III™ digital video processing technology to
achieve the highest level of image fidelity, but it also enhances standard-definition digital
and NTSC content to near high-definition quality.

The CineWall features Runco’s SuperOnyx™ DMD™ chipset with ConstantContrast™
frame-by-frame contrast correction to provide stellar black levels and rich color saturation
even in bright ambient light viewing. Runco’s exclusive CinOptx™ lens system
incorporates O-Path™ light path enhancement for sharp-looking video.

In addition to wider viewing angles with increased brightness and colorimetry
consistencies, the CineWall provides significant technology and video quality
enhancements when compared to like-sized plasma or LCD products. The system’s
passive cooling allows for virtually silent operation and uses 80 per cent less energy than
comparably-sized flat panels.

IMINAR

L

1.3 Description, Features and Benefits

The CineWall has been engineered to comply with Imaging Science Foundation™ (ISF)

PRE

The lower middle section of the chassis assembly contains all of the active components
described below. A fold mirror mounted at the rear of the chassis reflects light from the
display engine. Several sets of handles are provided on the chassis to aid installation. The
outer handles are for carrying the unit to the installation wall; the inner handles are for
lifting the unit up and into the wall opening.

Display Engine: The display engine mounts directly to a shelf in the center bottom of the
chassis that makes up a plenum for intake air.

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.

To reduce the overall depth of the chassis assembly for shipping, the installation brackets
that secure the chassis and screen to the wall are packaged separately. These brackets
are installed at the customer site right before installing the chassis assembly into the wall
opening:

Y

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.

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.

Installation Preparation

Y

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.

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

Because every home theater installation is unique, it is impossible to provide detailed,
step-by-step instructions that are applicable to every situation. Instead, this section
provides general guidelines for site construction and product installation. Review this
information carefully and adapt it as needed to your installation requirements.

The instructions in this section describe how to prepare a dedicated home theater for a
CineWall installation. Throughout these instructions, the following “typical” conditions are
assumed:

• Wall thickness: 3 inches (76.2 mm) minimum, 7 inches (177.8 mm) maximum

• Stud spacing: 24 inches (609.6 mm)

• Wall finishing material: Sheetrock or other suitable material

• Screen position: Centered horizontally between two studs 96 inches (2438.4 mm)

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.

Brightness: On your external test pattern source, select a PLUGE pattern. (PLUGE is an
acronym for “Picture Line-Up Generation Equipment.”)

ConstantContrast to Off before adjusting Brightness, Contrast

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.

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.

• The default setting, Auto, functions as follows:

• 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.

In most cases, the Auto setting determines the correct color space to use. If it does not,
you can force the CineWall to use a specific color space. Choose one of the following:

• REC709 sets the color space matrix to that defined in ITU-R BT.709.

• REC601 sets the color space matrix to that defined in ITU-R BT.601.

• RGB-PC uses RGB color space and sets black at 0,0,0 RGB and white at

WARNING

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.

Removing dry dust: Often the cleaning problem is just dust, not fingerprints or other oily
dirt. If it’s just dust, wiping with a dry cheesecloth or a dry Shop Towel will usually do the
job.

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

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

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.

7. Serial Communications

Note

To interface the CineWall with an automation/control system or a PC running terminal
emulation software, connect it to the Display Control output of the DHD Controller as
shown in
input of the DHD Controller as shown in Figure 4-10.

Configure the RS-232 controller or PC serial port as follows: no parity, eight (8) data bits,
one (1) stop bit and no flow control. Set the baud rate to 19200, to match that of the DHD
Controller RS-232 port.

Figure 4-3 and Figure 4-4. Connect your control system or PC to the RS-232

Y

Serial commands to the DHD Controller take the following form:

• Commands are not case-sensitive.

• 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.

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 (- >).
