2 RS-900 and RS1100 Series Installation/Operation Manual

Introduction

Note

The RS-900 and RS1100 family of Home Theater Projectors offer the astounding picture quality and versatility heretofore associated with more expensive projectors. Their 1920

x 1080, native-resolution DLP light engine features Runco's powerful SuperOnyx™

technology for bright, pristine high-definition (1080p) images.

Contrast ratio and dynamic range extend to new heights with Runco's exclusive Reflectance Volume Regulation™ (RVR), an electronically-controlled iris system. The RS1100 takes this technology a step further with DynamicBlack™, which analyzes the program material and adjusts the iris automatically, in real time to maximize contrast and dynamic range at all times.

All models feature a precision optics package with electronic lens shift. The standard RS-900/RS1100 projection lens has a throw range of from 1.87 to 2.20 times the screen width. The RS1100 from which to choose offering throw distances ranging from 1.06 to 4.80 times the screen width. Electronic focus and zoom controls further simplify installation and setup of an RS1100

The RS-900/RS1100's illumination system provides two light intensity levels to allow maximum flexibility for screen size, ambient light conditions, brightness and contrast balance, and lamp life preservation. It also has a newly refined cooling system, which increases efficiency and reduces noise levels.

The RS-900/RS1100 has been engineered to comply with Imaging Science Foundation™ (ISF) standards for maximum home theater image quality. Runco's sophisticated parameters for white balance and color gamut control have also been implemented for precise balance of gray scale and color. The RS-900/RS1100 incorporates Runco-proprietary de-interlacing technology that provides exceptional scaling and film-to-video (3:2 pulldown) conversion for the most artifact-free images possible.

1.3 Description, Features and Benefits

For uncompromising widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope” (2.35:1) format, the RS-900/RS1100 can be equipped with Runco’s patent-pending CineWide™ technology, a combination of software, electronics and high-quality 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 2.35:1, the image simply gets wider while full height is maintained. Also available with the RS-900/RS1100 is CineWide with AutoScope™, an enhanced, remote-controlled motorized version of CineWide.

CineWide requires the use of a 2.35:1 or similar aspect ratio superwide format screen.

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

3. Installation

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.

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

level surface such as a table or cart. Carts are useful when moving a projector during a presentation or from site to site. If possible, lock the wheels when it’s in position to prevent it from being moved during a presentation.

For fixed installations, and for those that want the projector out of sight or have a limited space for projector and audience, you can invert the RS-900/RS1100 and suspend it from the ceiling using a specially-designed ceiling mount fixture.

PRE

Use only the Runco-approved ceiling mount kit designed for your projector. Install the mount kit according to the instructions provided with it.

The projector can also be inverted and placed in an enclosure above and behind the viewing area. Install four feet on the inside bottom surface of the enclosure on which the projector can rest. A variety of materials can be used for this purpose (for example, rubber crutch tips or turntable feet).

Adjusting the Projector

Height or Projection Angle

If the screen is significantly higher or lower than the projector, you can also tilt the projector at a slight angle. In a ceiling installation, you do this by adjusting the ceiling mount.

30 RS-900 and RS1100 Series Installation/Operation Manual

For a floor installation, turn the four adjustable feet on the bottom of the projector to adjust the projector height and/or projection angle.

If you do this, you may need to make keystone adjustments or vertically shift the image using the on-screen display (OSD) controls, to compensate. For detailed instructions, refer to Using the On-Screen Menus on page 50.

Installation

Proceed as follows to connect the RS-900/RS1100 to your video sources, external controller(s) – if present – and AC power.

When connecting your equipment:

• Turn off all equipment before making any connections.

• Use the correct signal cables for each source.

If you are installing a CineWide-equipped projector, proceed as follows to install and adjust the anamorphic lens.

It is extremely important that the primary lens is properly adjusted before you install the anamorphic lens. Ensure that the image from the primary lens is perfectly centered on the screen.

Runco offers two types of anamorphic lenses for its CineWide projectors: prismatic and cylindrical.

• The prismatic lens compresses the height of the image (as opposed to stretching the

width) to achieve a 2.35:1 aspect ratio with a 1.78:1 display device.

• The cylindrical anamorphic lens has a larger aperture than the prismatic lens. It

stretches the width of the image to achieve a 2.35:1 aspect ratio with a 1.78:1 display device. Two, cylindrical anamorphic lens options are available: Rainier II and McKinley. Although they differ in size and throw distance range (refer to procedure for both lenses is similar.

Configure Lens Motor Trigger: CineWide with AutoScope maintains constant image

height independent of the aspect ratio, while using the full display resolution of the projector. It accomplishes this by moving the anamorphic lens in front of the primary lens when widescreen material is being viewed. When the viewer transitions back to 16:9 or 4:3 source material, the anamorphic lens moves out of the light path.

To configure the lens motor trigger on the RS-900/RS1100 for proper AutoScope operation:

1. Press MENU on the remote control.

Installation

The anamorphic lens will almost always be angled with respect to the projector; this is normal.

Once the proper lens angle has been set, firmly tighten the Pitch Adjustment T-Screws to secure the lens in place.

There may be some pincushion distortion even after the lens is properly adjusted, especially at shorter throw distances. If this is the case, Runco recommends that you slightly over-scan the image into the screen frame area to mask the distortion.

Adjusting the Yaw: Loosen the Yaw/X-Adjustment Levers to allow the lens to pivot freely from side to side. Then, angle the lens to even out any left-right pincushion distortion:

The RS-900/RS1100 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 input separately.

IMINAR

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 – Ovation Multimedia, Digital Video Essentials or AVIA 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.

RVR: Use the RVR 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 a lot of ambient light. Use a lower setting for more “theater-like” viewing conditions (little or no ambient light).

12-volt Trigger: Select 12-volt Trigger from the Setup menu to configure the 12-volt trigger output.

Note

Generally, higher Gain settings reduce the image contrast; higher Offset settings reduce the image brightness.

Advanced Options: For more precise control over picture quality, select Advanced Options from the ISF menu and press ENTER.

• Image Enhance: The Image 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.

• DNR: Use the or button to adjust the Digital Noise Reduction (DNR). DNR is

useful for clearing up noisy images from interlaced SD sources. Adjust as desired, keeping in mind that reducing noise (which reduces high frequencies) may also soften the image.

• Detail Enhance: Use the Detail Enhance control to improve the apparent horizontal

and/or vertical resolution of the image.

• Luma Enhance: Use the Luma Enhance control to improve the apparent brightness

of the image.

• Chroma Enhance: This control adds chroma (color information) to the input signal

and can make colors appear more vibrant and saturated.

• Black Threshold: 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:

• 0 IRE: Used for DVD output with “enhanced black,” SECAM, most PAL standards

and Japanese NTSC.

• 7.5 IRE: Used for most NTSC video signals.

IMINAR

For some types of video, you may want to override the setting. Generally, if black

PRE

appears crushed when brightness = 30, choose “0 IRE.” If black appears excessively elevated, use “7.5 IRE.”

• 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.

For each component color, you can adjust the following:

• Limit: This slidebar adjusts the intensity – also known as luminance – of a given color.

• Saturation: This slidebar adjusts the color saturation level – the amount of that color in a video image. Lower settings produce less saturated colors; a setting of “0” removes that color from the image entirely. If the saturation is too high, that color will be overpowering and unrealistic.

To restore the color space settings to their factory-default values, select Reset to Defaults and press ENTER.

• Gamut: Under most conditions, the White Balance and Advanced Color Enhance (ACE) controls in the Calibration menu are adequate for producing accurate and realistic colors from a variety of sources.

In rare cases, though, you may need more precise control over the RS-900/RS1100 display color gamut (range). For example, you may require a unique color gamut for a given projector or application.

Operation

The RS-900/RS1100 enables you to define the precise hue of each primary color component (white, red, green and blue) used to generate the millions of colors produced in displays. You do this by specifying x/y coordinates and luminance values for each primary color component.

The x and y coordinates for each color define its location on the standard CIE chromaticity graph, shown in l’Éclairage” (International Commission on Illumination), the organization responsible for color measurement and management standards.)

Note

Changing either or both of these numbers changes the hue of the color and relocates the “triangle” for possible colors. 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.

To perform these adjustments, you will need a color analyzer (Sencore ColorPro 5000 software and ColorPro III sensor, or equivalent).

1. Connect it to your control system or PC as shown in Figure 3-17.

2. Start a terminal session on your PC using a terminal-emulation program, such as HyperTerminal.

3. Configure the RS-232 controller or PC serial port as follows: no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no flow control. Set the baud rate to 19200.

4. Type a command from among those listed in Table 6-1. For example, to select the Component 1 input, type X133X. Do not send a carriage return after the

command.

Serial commands to the RS-900/RS1100 take the following form:

• Commands are in ASCII format.

• Commands must be in UPPERCASE; for example, X001X, not x001x.

• When you send a valid command, the RS-900/RS1100 performs the following actions:

1. Echoes the command back to the PC or control system, unless the command is

X001X (Power On).

2. Executes the command.

3. Sends a confirmation message in the form X0_[command number]X<CR>. The

confirmation message does not include the leading zeros in the command.

- Brightness*: 14.9 to 21.8 foot-Lamberts (fL)

- Contrast Ratio*: 205:1 to 225:1 *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.
