6. Black uniformity issues or other LCD issues associated with usage outside the Runco recommended guidelines and specifications for the product.

7. Bright or dark sub pixels that are characteristic of LCD technology and considered by Runco to be acceptable and within Runco’s manufacturing specifications.

Specifically, it is not uncommon for one or more sub pixels to become bright or dark during or after the manufacturing process. A bright sub pixel is one that remains in the on position, and a dark sub pixel is one that appears black or off. The sub pixels are usually hard to see and will not detract from the display quality or usability at normal viewing distance. The following are Runco’s criteria for identifying bright or dark sub pixels that would be considered unacceptable: a) the number of bright or dark sub pixels; b) the location of the bright or dark sub pixels; c) the color of the bright sub pixels; and d) the Runco model size. If sub pixels have been identified as unacceptable by Runco the LCD will be deemed faulty and will be replaced if reported within the warranty period.

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.

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.

Introduction

Runco’s LightStyle™ Series LS-12d Active 3D Projection System delivers exceptional 3D and 2D performance, sharing many of the technical attributes of the award-winning LightStyle™ projector series. The LS-12d combines a powerful, three-chip DLP and a wide array of lens options with Runco’s elegant LightStyle chassis design. With the addition of the LS-12d to Runco’s 3D projection offerings, clients now have a variety of exceptional 3D options to choose from based on their individual needs.

Custom paint and print options with a myriad of color options are available with the LS-12d, including an option to design your own one-of-a-kind projector with Runco FinishPalette™. Beyond beautiful on the outside, the Runco LS-12d is feature-rich, including advanced connectivity and the latest-generation video processing and scaling. Rounding out this impressive projector are discrete input source, aspect ratio and power on/off, as well as an RS-232 interface for seamless integration with automation control systems.

Impressive and unique and unlike single-chip DLP implementations, no color wheel is used in the LS-12d projectors. Instead, it harnesses the power of three advanced full 1080p HD 16:9 DMD’s™ and 12-degree mirror tilt for the finest black level performance. The impressive brightness is further bolstered by the improved contrast capabilities of the stylish LS-12d. Designed to excel in both the dedicated theater as well “Flex-Theaters,” spaces where big screen entertainment is only a portion of the room’s purpose and aesthetics and placement are as crucial as video performance.

For uncompromised widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the CinemaScope™ 2:35:1 format, the LS-12d can also be paired with one of Runco’s award-winning anamorphic lens solutions. Through an ingenious combination of software, electronics and precision anamorphic optics, the Runco anamorphic lens system maintains constant image 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 image height is maintained. 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.

2. System Overview

A LightStyle™ Series LS-12d Active 3D Projection System consists of the following components:

• The projector (equipped with dual digital video inputs) with optional anamorphic lens and lens transport assembly.

• The DC-300 Dimension Digital Controller™ unit that provides “left-eye” and “right-eye“ video signals and the on-screen display (OSD) menu to the projector. In addition, the Dimension Digital Controller controls the projector 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.

• An Active 3D Emitter that receives a left/right synchronization signal from the projector and transmits it to the Active 3D Glasses worn by the viewers. This signal precisely controls when left and right fields are visible through the glasses.

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

System Overview

2.1

Projector

A LightStyle™ Series LS-12d Active 3D Projection System can display both traditional 2D and stereoscopic 3D video content.

An active 3D presentation requires a specialized video signal source configuration and content to be displayed correctly. Images from a stereo 3D video source consist of a series of images (called frames or fields) that alternate quickly between two slightly different view points, corresponding to a viewer’s left and right eyes.

When these frames are displayed fast enough and viewed with special stereo glasses synchronized to the left/right changes, the resulting image appears with the same depth and perspective that is sensed in the real world.

Figure 2-2 and Figure 2-3 show the key LS-12d components.

Installation

Proper installation of your projector will ensure the quality of your display. Whether you are installing a projector temporarily or permanently, you should take the following into account to ensure your projector performs optimally.

It is a common practice in custom audio/video installations to conceal cables by running them through walls.

If you plan to do this with your LS-12d installation, you will need to run three cables from the projector to the other projection system components: two (2) HDMI cables and a serial control cable (typically Category 5 or 4-wire telephone cable).

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.

Estimating Throw Distance

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

Horizontal Lens Shift: The LS-12d zoom lenses (Proteus 2 through 6) allow up to 30% of horizontal lens shift in either direction (left or right). For example, with a 96 x 54-inch (16:9) screen, you can shift the image up to 28.80 inches (73.15 cm) left or right of the screen center. (Horizontal lens shift is not possible with the Proteus 1 lens.)

Due to its extraordinarily high level of video processing performance, the Dimension Digital Controller may distribute video signals with a perceptible level of audio latency. In order to easily solve this issue, Runco recommends using the Dimension Digital 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 3-4 shows the amount of possible audio latency given different signal input timings.

• 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.

Proceed as follows to connect the LS-12d 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.

Digital Video Connection: Connect the HDMI Out To Pri. Display connector on the Dimension Digital Controller to the PRIMARY input on the projector. Similarly connect the

HDMI Out To Sec. Display connector on the Dimension Digital Controller to SECONDARY input on the projector.

RS-232 Connection: Connect the Pri. Display Control output from the Dimension Digital Controller to the RS232 input on the projector.

Adjusting the Image Geometry

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

To correct this, the Dimension Digital 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 3-22.

IMINAR

Figure 3-24. Attaching the Anamorphic Lens to the Lens Mount

Configure Lens Motor Trigger on Dimension Digital Controller: The anamorphic

lens solution for the LS-12d 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.

PRE

When the viewer transitions back to 16:9 or 4:3 source material, the anamorphic lens moves out of the light path.

Proceed as follows to configure the 12-volt trigger output for proper operation.

1. Project a 2.35:1 aspect ratio test pattern or other image on the screen.

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

3. Select Service from the Main Menu and enter the Service Menu passcode.

Note

4. Select Tri gg er s from the Service menu.

5. Assign the trigger output to which the lens motor is connected to the Cinema and Virtual Cinema aspect ratios. This enables the lens motor to move the anamorphic lens into position (in front of the primary lens) when either aspect ratio is selected.

You must enter a passcode to access the Service menu for the first time after turning on the system.

6. Select the Cinema aspect ratio to move the anamorphic lens into position, if it isn’t already. To do this, press CINEMA on the Dimension Digital Controller remote control (Figure 2-7), or press or repeatedly with no menus visible on-screen.

Adjusting the Lens Position:

1. Adjust the vertical position and tilt of the lens so that the projector beam is passing through the center of the lens and any residual pincushion distortion is about the same at the top and bottom of the image. This typically results in the anamorphic lens being below the center of the primary lens and tilted slightly downward.

2. Tighten the knobs.

There may be some pincushion distortion even after the lens is

3. Adjust the rotation of the Lens Transport Assembly so that the left and right sides of the image are an equal distance from their respective screen borders.

4. Tighten the Pivot Screw and the four mounting screws holding the transport to the Attachment Plate.

5. For optimum multiple aspect ratio performance, adjust the projector’s zoom so that a

1.85:1 aspect ratio movie is just masked by the top and bottom of the screen border when the anamorphic lens is not in front of the primary lens. This way 1.85:1, 16:9 and 2.35-2.4:1 aspect ratio movies are all presented to fill the screen at a constant height.

achieve optimum picture quality.

The Dimension Digital 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 Dimension Digital Controller input separately.

Note

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.

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 70.

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 78). After you have completed the initial calibration, set ConstantContrast to On if desired.

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.

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.

PRE

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 settings to adjust the color balance at the Dimension Digital 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 LS-12d, 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 corresponds to the power variable in this equation:

• Color Gamut: Select Color Gamut from the Display Color - Common Settings menu to select a color gamut (range) that may be different from the default color gamut.

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.

• Chroma Delay: use the Chroma Delay control to correct a mis-aligned image from a composite 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.

IMINAR

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.

ConstantContrast is disabled when the LS-12d is displaying 3D content, regardless of this setting.

The Input Image settings establish the “zero point” for the Picture menu settings, whose values represent offsets from the Input Image settings. For example, if you set Brightness to 10 in this menu, setting Brightness to 10 in the Picture menu results in an actual setting value of 20 (10+10).
