IMPORTANT HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION FOR 3D VIEWING:

Please read and make sure you understand the following safety information before using the product for viewing 3D content.
Provide this information to the end users of this product and ensure that they understand it.

WARNING

It is widely recognized that stereographic display devices can cause discomfort, including, without
limitation, dizziness, nausea, headaches, eye fatigue and eye-strain, in some individuals. The 3D
effect and experience will vary by individual, depending on a variety of factors, including his or her
health and vision. Runco recommends that users take regular breaks when watching 3D video or
playing games using stereoscopic displays. Discontinue use if any discomfort occurs. Parents of
young children should ensure their children avoid extensive exposure to electronic stereographic
entertainment.

Y

The quality and appropriateness of the 3D screen materials onto which the image is projected and
the quality of the 3D content being displayed both have a significant and noticeable impact on the
overall 3D experience. A properly-calibrated projection system, including glasses and an
optimized third-party screen, displaying high-quality 3D content is the best formula for immersive
and comfortable 3D experiences in the home. Please refer to the remainder of this manual for
proper projector installation and usage instructions.

The glasses that accompany this product are not safe to use as sunglasses, protective eyewear or
any use outdoors or other than only in conjunction with the proper operation of the Runco product
with which they are sold. It is common to dim the lights in a home theater. Using 3D glasses and
the immersive imagery of stereoscopic imagery can increase the risk of tripping or falling the dark.
Special care should be taken.

IMINAR

Do not tilt your head while using the 3D glasses.

2 D-73d Series Installation/Operation Manual

Introduction

Runco’s exclusive new D-73d Series LED 3-D Home Theater Projection System
integrates 3D visualization technology that is based on the science of how the human eye
and brain process actual depth and dimension in real life, Runco has created a flawless
stereoscopic video reproduction that is unlike anything else in the home or private cinema
market. Offering 3D done right, Runco is the only display manufacturer to offer a 3D
solution is based on proprietary CSV™ (Constant Stereoscopic Video) architecture.
Runco CSV is a vastly-superior approach to 3D visualization that enables seamless
decoding, syncing and merging of stereo images and delivers a constant HD image to
each eye without the flicker, distortion, or discomfort inherent in other approaches. Runco
CSV utilizes unique passive-glasses technology, which is proven to be superior for the
viewer and is usually only available in the finest public theaters.

Further, Runco is the first home theater brand to license RealD‘s Processing Package,
which is used in Runco’s 3Dimension Processor that is paired with the company’s D-73d
projector. The RealD Processing Package includes multiple proprietary technologies for
the delivery and display of high-definition 3D content, for a high-quality 3D display
experience in the home. Also incredibly important when choosing a 3D display, the Runco
3Dimension Series will deliver both a spectacular 2D and 3D viewing experience with zero
compromise.

Runco’s 3Dimension Series pair passive glasses with a design unique to Runco
formulated for precise stereo separation, called PreciseLight™. Runco’s passive glasses
are not like current 3D TV glasses, which are based on “active” LCD shutter-glass
technology and have inherent design challenges. Active glasses are bulky and expensive
because they include electronics. And, because active glasses have LCDs in each lens,
and turn black every other frame (or more frequently), active glasses need a transmitter
that is synced to the frame rate. If you are out of range of the transmitter, low on batteries,
have multiple TVs in a single room, or have any obstructions, the image may stutter or
simply not work.

1.3 Description, Features and Benefits

The new Runco 3Dimension Series D-73d projector is based on an evolution of Runco’s
award-winning lampless LED technology. Runco’s InfiniLight™ boasts a significant
reduction in power consumption, a mercury-free illumination system, and InstantOn™,
which instantly produces an image and eliminates the need to put the projector in standby
mode.

Beyond light-source innovation, Runco’s LED-based projectors produce the largest color
gamut ever available in front projection; achieving and exceeding the Society of Motion
Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) and Digital Cinema Initiative (DCI) standards.
The D-73d offers Runco’s Personal Color Equalizer™ (PCE), which enables owners to
create color settings from the largest palette ever available and project images exactly to
their preferences. Further, the D-73d outputs more perceived brightness than other 3D
solutions because of Runco’s proprietary LED technology and its ability to create
exceptional chromaticity. The combination of colors, perceived brightness and
performance enable the Runco D-73d to set a previously unseen standard for video.

For uncompromised widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the
CinemaScope™ 2:35:1 format, the D-73d can also be paired with Runco’s
award-winning CineWide™ and CineWide with AutoScope™ technology. Through an
ingenious combination of software, electronics and precision anamorphic optics,
CineWide maintains constant vertical height on the screen just as in a movie theater.
When a viewer transitions from 1.78:1 (16:9) program material to superwide 2.35:1, the
image simply gets wider while full screen height is maintained, eliminating useless black
bars on the top and bottom of the screen.

PRE

D-73d Series Installation/Operation Manual 3

Introduction

➤

With Runco CineWide, the projection system is able to use the full pixel array, thereby
producing a 2.35:1 image with enhanced resolution and increased brightness. No
resolution or image area is lost to those black bars that contain no picture information.
CineWide with AutoScope provides a motorized, remote-controlled anamorphic lens
mechanism.

The D-73d Series LED 3-D Home Theater Projection System consists of the following
components:

• The projector, consisting of two discrete LED optical engines stacked one on top of the
other to provide either two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D) content.

• A Primary DHD Controller unit that provides a video signal and on-screen display (OSD)
menu to the “left eye” optical engine of the projector. In addition, the Primary DHD
Controller controls all of the other system components (projector, Secondary DHD

Y

Controller and 3Dimension Processor), in response to user input via its infrared (IR)
remote control unit or front-panel keypad, an external control system or HDMI
Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) messages.

• A Secondary DHD Controller unit that provides a video signal and OSD menu to the
right optical engine of the projector.

• The 3Dimension Processor, which accepts video signals from multiple analog and
digital sources, multiplexes them and distributes them to the Primary and Secondary
DHD Controllers.

Figure 2-1 shows how these components connect to and interact with each other. The
following sections describe each one in detail.

D-73d Series Installation/Operation Manual 7

System Overview

2.1

Projector

The standard D-73d projector, shown Figure 2-2, consists of two discrete LED optical
engines stacked one on top of the other to provide either three-dimensional (3D) or
two-dimensional (2D) content.

For 3D content, each engine produces the image for one eye. Linear polarizers on each
engine isolate the output images from one another. When the viewer transitions from 2D
content to 3D content, the polarizers move in tandem into the optical path by means of a
mechanical actuator (similar to a motorized anamorphic lens transport).

The left-eye and right-eye images are reflected by the screen back toward the viewing
area and kept isolated by a second set of polarizing filters: the 3D glasses worn by the
viewer.

For 2D content, the projector superimposes the output from one engine onto that from the
other engine to produce an extremely bright and focused image. When viewing 2D
content, the polarizers are out of the optical path.

The “left-eye” optical engine (the one nearest the glass) receives an HDMI video signal
from the Primary DHD Controller. The “right-eye” optical engine (the one nearest the feet)
receives an HDMI video signal from the Secondary DHD Controller.

• LENS LOCK
The screw to the right of the lens activates the lens lock, which freezes the zoom and
lens shift settings to keep the projector images aligned over time.

When shipped from Runco, the lenses are unlocked. To lock the lens position, use the
same 5.0-mm Hex wrench (provided) that you use for lens shift adjustments. (Turn
clockwise two or three turns.)

System Overview

WARNING

• HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL LENS SHIFT CONTROLS
To access the lens shift controls, insert the included 5.0-mm Hex wrench into the
opening and turn it as needed to shift the lens in the desired direction (refer to
Adjusting the Focus, Zoom and Position of the Primary Lenses on page 54).

• FOCUS RING
Rotate this to focus the projected image.

• ZOOM TAB
Rotate this to change the projected image size.

THE LENS SHIFT MECHANISM CAN BE DAMAGED BY
EXCESSIVE FORCE.

• Ensure that the lens lock is released before adjusting horizontal
or vertical lens shift.

• Do not attempt to move the primary lenses beyond their normal
adjustment ranges.

Choosing A Screen Runco 3Dimension Series projectors produce exceptional 3D and 2D content. Because it

is estimated that 2D content still comprises more than 90 percent of the material viewed in
home theaters and private cinemas, the projection screen is a significant factor and must
accommodate both 2D and 3D viewing.

3D projection screens use a special silver material that retains the polarization properties
of the light as it hits the screen and directs the light to the correct eye, producing a 3D
image with no cross-talk or “ghosting.” Conventional white or gray screens that work just
fine for 2D won’t work at all for 3D.

Runco has rated home theater screens on their ability to produce 2D and 3D content on a
scale it calls PISCES™ (Polarized Image Sequence Conservation and Enhancement
Standard). Specifications and testing criteria include:

• Polarization preservation (also referred to as “extinction ratio”);

• Image quality;

• Viewing angle; and

• Brightness for home theater for both 2D and 3D content on the same screen.

Runco makes its PISCES™ rated screen list available to authorized Runco dealers so they
can support specifying the best screen for every home theater application.

Y

Ambient Light In general, minimize or eliminate light sources directed at the screen. Contrast ratio in your

images will be noticeably reduced if light directly strikes the screen, such as when a shaft
of light from a window or floodlight falls on the image. Images may then appear washed
out and less vibrant.

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 Figure 3-1. The result of this calculation tells you
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.

Position

Proper placement of the projector relative to the screen will yield a rectangular,
perfectly-centered image that completely fills the screen.

Ideally, the projector should be positioned perpendicular to the screen and in such a way
that the lens center is aligned with either the top or bottom edge of the screen area, and
centered horizontally. See Figure 3-2.

Tip

Installation

For best performance, always use “first-surface” mirrors in your
rear-projection installation (as opposed to conventional,
“second-surface” mirrors with the reflective surface behind a transparent
substrate such as glass or acrylic).

First-surface mirrors provide a strict reflection without the “ghosting”
effect seen with a second surface mirror, where a faint secondary
reflection could be observed coming from the front surface of the glass.

This is especially critical for 3D viewing; with a conventional
second-surface mirror, the resulting image quality may be unacceptable.

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 video displays and A/V receivers introduce additional latency that needs
to be compensated for during the installation.

Table 3-5 shows the amount of possible audio latency given different signal input timings.

Other Considerations Other considerations and tips that can help improve your installation:

• Keep the ambient temperature constant and below 35°C (95°F). Keep the projector
away from heating and/or air conditioning vents. Changes in temperature may cause
drifts in the projector circuitry, which may affect performance.

• Keep the projector away from devices that radiate electromagnetic energy such as
motors and transformers. Common sources of these include slide projectors,
speakers, power amplifiers and elevators.

surface such as a shelf or table, or they can be rack-mounted using the supplied
mounting hardware. Place these components in a location that provides easy access to
the power connectors.

The DHD Controller units and 3Dimension Processor
each require 2U (3.5 inches) or more of vertical rack
space (at least 10.5 inches total). To minimize cable
clutter, Runco recommends that you install the
3Dimension Processor between the Primary and
Secondary DHD Controllers in the rack.

To mount the DHD Controllers and 3Dimension Processor in a standard, 19-inch
equipment rack, install the mounting ears on either side of the chassis using the supplied
screws; see Figure 3-12. Then, secure the mounting ears to the rack.

System Interconnections

Connecting the Primary

and Secondary DHD

Controllers to the D-73d

Projector

Proceed as follows to connect the D-73d system components to each other and to AC
power.

When connecting your equipment:

• Turn off all equipment before making any connections.

• Use the correct signal cables for each source.

• For best performance and to minimize cable clutter, use high-quality cables that are
only as long as necessary to connect two devices. (Don’t use a 20-foot cable when a
6-foot cable will suffice.)

• Ensure that the cables are securely connected. Tighten the thumbscrews on
connectors that have them.

Y

Digital Video Connection: Connect the HDMI Out (To Display) connector on the
Primary DHD Controller to HDMI input on the “left eye” (top) optical engine on the D-73d
projector. Similarly connect the HDMI Out (To Display) connector on the Secondary
DHD Controller to HDMI input on the “right eye” (bottom) optical engine on the D-73d
projector.

RS-232 Connection: Connect the Display Control output from the Primary DHD
Controller to the RS-232 input on the “left eye” (top) optical engine on the D-73d
projector.

Similarly connect the Display Control output from the Secondary DHD Controller to the
RS-232 input on the “right eye” (bottom) optical engine on the D-73d projector.

Use the provided modular telephone cables with RJ11 plugs at both ends for the RS-232
connections. These cables have color-coded labels at each end to facilitate these
connections. On the D-73d end, use the provided RJ11-to-DB9 adapters. These
adapters are wired as shown in Figure 3-13.

If you are installing a D-73d with anamorphic lenses, proceed as follows to adjust them.

1. Select the Cinema aspect ratio using either the DHD Controller remote control unit
(see Figure 2-8) or the OSD menu (press MENU, then select Aspect Ratio ->
Cinema). (With a D-73d/CineWide with AutoScope, this should position the
anamorphic lens transport in front of the primary lenses.)

2. On the DHD Controller remote control or front panel, press MENU.

3. Select Calibration from the Main Menu.

4. Select Adjustment Mode from the Calibration Menu and set it to Primary.

5. Press EXIT (or MENU) repeatedly to return to the Main Menu.

6. Select Service from the Main Menu.

7. Select Te st Video from the Service Menu and choose Primary Alignment.

Adjusting the Left (Top) Anamorphic Lens: Align the primary (left-eye) image with the
screen by adjusting the Left (top) anamorphic lens to produce the least amount of
distortion.

• Horizontal Position (X-adjust): Loosen the Yaw/X-Adjustment Levers underneath

the lens holder. Then, slowly move the anamorphic lens into place so that there are no
shadows on either side of the screen:

pincushion distortion. To do this, loosen the Height/Pitch Adjustment Knobs (Whitney
anamorphic lens; see Figure 3-26) or Button-head Pitch Adjustment Screws (Shasta
anamorphic lens; see Figure 3-27) on either side of the lens to allow it to pivot freely.
Then, adjust the anamorphic lens angle so that the projected image is rectangular:

Shasta anamorphic lens, also tighten the Set Screws on either side of the lens to lock
the angle.

Projector and/or screen placement — among other things — can cause geometric
distortion in the projected image.

To correct this, the DHD Controller provides precise, nine-point control over the projected
image geometry. Use these controls as (and only if) needed to re-position the image
corners, mid-points and center to eliminate “keystoning” (mis-aligned corners) or
“pincushion” distortion (mid-points not aligned with corners). See Figure 3-28.

“Keystoning” usually occurs when the projector is tilted relative to the screen. “Pincushion”
distortion can sometimes occur if the throw distance is very short and/or the projector is
equipped with an anamorphic lens.

Corner/Midpoint Alignment — 16:9 Aspect Ratio:

1. Select the 16:9 aspect ratio using either the DHD Controller remote control unit (see

Figure 2-8) or the OSD menu (press MENU, then select Aspect Ratio -> 16:9). This
should move the anamorphic lenses out of the optical path.

2. On the DHD Controller remote control or front panel, press MENU.

3. Select Calibration from the Main Menu.

4. Select Adjustment Mode from the Calibration Menu and set it to Secondary.

Picture Use the controls in the Picture Menu to calibrate each DHD Controller input to achieve

optimum picture quality.

The DHD Controller 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.

Note

IMINAR

L

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

PRE

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.

1. When you change a picture quality setting, save the change to a
preset afterwards. Otherwise, the change will be lost when a
different input is selected. (Picture quality settings are saved for
each input and display mode separately.) For information about
saving settings, refer to Memory Presets on page 76.

2. For best results, Runco recommends that you set
ConstantContrast to Off before adjusting Brightness, Contrast
and other image quality settings in this menu (refer to
ConstantContrast on page 83). After you have completed the
initial calibration, set ConstantContrast to On if desired.

Height: Select Height from the Input Position menu to change the projected image
height. Press to increase the height; press to decrease it.

Overscan/Overscan Mode: Overscan 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. 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.

Phase (RGB, Component or SCART sources): This control adjusts the phase of the
pixel sampling clock relative to the incoming signal. Adjust the phase when an RGB,
Component or SCART image still shows shimmer or “noise” after Tracking has been
optimized.

Adjust the Phase after adjusting Tracking (see below).

Tip

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.

Tracking (RGB, Component or SCART 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.

Display Color - Common Settings: Use the Display Color - Common Settings menu to
adjust the color balance at the DHD Controller output. These settings are saved
independently for each input and display mode.

•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.

• Gamma: Select Gamma from the Display Color - Common Settings menu to choose a
de-gamma curve. 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.

• Mode: With the D-73d, two Gamma adjustment modes are available: Simple or

Advanced. The two modes are mutually exclusive; when you select the Simple
mode, the Advanced selection in the Gamma menu is grayed out. Likewise, when
you select Advanced, the Simple selection is grayed out.

• Simple: Use the Simple Gamma control to perform gamma correction at the display

according to a simple power law gamma function. The value chosen here

Each setting defines the precise hue of each primary (red, green and blue) and
secondary (yellow, cyan and magenta) color component used to generate the millions
of colors produced in displays. Changing this setting relocates the “triangle” for
possible colors (see Figure 4-7). For example, changing the x/y coordinates for red
moves the color closer to either orange or violet, which in turn affects all displayed
colors having a red component.

Operation

Note

• Hue/Saturation/Level: PCE provides the ability to define a custom color gamut in
terms of primary (red, green and blue) and secondary (yellow, cyan and magenta)
color hues, saturation and level (brightness).

Each control operates only on the color specified. Surrounding colors are linearly
interpolated based on their distance from each of these colors. In the CIE 1931 Yxy
coordinate system (see Figure 4-8), Hue rotates the color coordinates around the
white point, Saturation adjusts the coordinate's distance from white and Level
adjusts the luminance (Y) of the color relative to white.
