Introduction
The Runco CL-410 and CL-420 DLP Projectors combine a highly efficient optical light
engine with broad installation and integration options.
Runco has implemented a host of advancements into the projector’s light engine to take
full advantage of its widescreen, high-definition SuperOnyx™ Digital Micromirror Device
(DMD™) chip. The CL-410/CL-420 features Enhanced GEN 3™ technology to produce
deeper blacks, greater contrast ratio and brightness, and richly saturated colors.
Among the CL-410/CL-420’s features are a sophisticated color-balancing system that
results in the industry’s best gray scale tracking, and far surpasses the capabilities of CRT
projectors. Accurate gray scale reproduction is vital to vibrant, true-to-life color
reproduction, as well as superior black level and white level performance. Runco’s
acclaimed Vivix™ video processing and scaling assure pristine video imagery, while the
CL-410/CL-420’s generous light output capability is powerful enough to handle screens
as large as 96 inches wide with ease.
The CL-420 features a 16:9 aspect ratio resolution of 1280 x 720; the CL-410 boasts a
native resolution of 1024 x 576. Both models provide an HDMI input for pure digital video
signal transmission. In addition, the projector’s broad lens shift capability, variable throw
distance, and electronic horizontal and vertical keystone correction allow for flexible
placement within virtually any theater environment. Discrete IR and/or serial control makes
it simple to partner the CL-410/CL-420 with other audio/video components and
automated control systems for a truly high-end, home cinema system.
• Native Resolution: 1024 x 576 (CL-410) or 1280 x 720 (CL-420)
• High-performance Digital Light Processing (DLP™) engine
• HDMI Input with High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP)

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.
Other ConsiderationsOther 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.
14Runco CL-410 and CL-420 Owner’s Operating Manual
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 3-2.
The CL-410 has a lens throw ratio of between 1.37 and 1.67.
The CL-420 has a lens throw ratio of between 1.40 and 1.70.
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.
For example, with an 8-foot (96-inch) wide screen:
• The CL-410 has a throw distance range of between 131.5 inches (3.34 meters) and
160.3 inches (4.07 meters).
• The CL-420 has a throw distance range of between 134.4 inches (3.41 meters) and
163.2 inches (4.14 meters).
Installation
Throw DistanceThrow distance is the distance measured from the front of the projector to the screen.
Estimating Throw Distance (TD)
CL-410:
Minimum TD = Screen Width x 1.37
Maximum TD = Screen Width x 1.67
CL-420:
Minimum TD = Screen Width x 1.40
Maximum TD = Screen Width x 1.70

Position
Proper placement of the projector relative to the screen will yield a rectangular,

If it is not possible to align the projector and screen as shown in Figure 3-3, you can use

1. With no vertical or horizontal lens shift, the lens center and screen center are aligned with each
other.
2. Vertical shift limits are percentages of the screen height. Horizontal shift limits are percentages of
the screen width.
3. Vertical lens shift figures apply to ceiling mount configurations. For floor installations
(where the projector is upright), reverse the up/down vertical offset percentages.

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. 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 shift the image or apply keystone correction using the
on-screen display (OSD) controls, to compensate. For detailed instructions, refer to
the On-Screen Menus on page 30.

Using
installation, one method may be more suitable than another.
Floor Mounting: In typical front and rear screen installations the projector can be
mounted to a secure and 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.
Ceiling Mounting: The projector can also be inverted and suspended from the ceiling
using a specially designed ceiling mount fixture. This type of mounting is recommended
for fixed installations and for those that want the projector out of sight or have a limited
space for projector and audience.

picture quality.
The CL-410/CL-420 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. Runco recommends calibrating the CL-410/CL-420 inputs in the following
order:
1. Component 1 / Component 2
2. S-Video
3. Video
4. RGB-HD
5. HDMI
Note
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 resolution separately.) For information about saving
settings, refer to
Installation on page 42.
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.
34Runco CL-410 and CL-420 Owner’s Operating Manual
Connect your test pattern source to the input that you are calibrating and proceed as
A
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.”)
Figure 4-5 shows a typical PLUGE
pattern.

PLUGE patterns vary but generally consist of some combination of black, white and gray
areas against a black background. The example above includes two vertical bars and four
shaded boxes.
Select Brightness from the Picture Adjust menu. Using the left- and right-arrow ( )
buttons, adjust the brightness so that:
• The darkest black bars disappear into the background.
• The dark gray areas are barely visible.
• The lighter gray areas are clearly visible.
• The white areas are a comfortable level of true white.
• The image contains only black, gray and white (no color).

Sharpness: “Sharpness” is the amount of high-frequency detail in the image. To adjust
sharpness, select Sharpness from the Picture Adjust menu and press ENTER. On your
external test pattern source, select a pattern like the one shown in
Figure 4-8. Adjust as
needed, looking for white edges around the transitions from black to gray and different
sized lines in the “sweep” patterns at the top and bottom. Lower the sharpness setting to
eliminate them.
Figure 4-8. Typical Test Pattern for Adjusting Sharpness
Gamma: The Gamma control determines how gray shades are displayed between
minimum input (black) and maximum input (white) for all signals. A good gamma setting
helps to optimize blacks and whites while ensuring smooth transitions for the
“in-between” values utilized in other grays.
Unlike brightness and contrast controls, Gamma allows you to lighten or darken the
overall tone of your images without changing the extremes. All images will be more vibrant
while still showing good detail in dark areas.
The default Gamma setting of 2.2 is appropriate for most typical home theater
environments.

Color Temperature: To adjust the color temperature, select Color Temp from the
Picture Adjust menu and press ENTER. (Color temperature defines the “color of gray.”)
The range is from 5,000K to 10,000K, in increments of 500K. The default setting, 6,500K,
is appropriate for most situations. Higher settings produce a “bluer” picture; lower ones
impart a reddish hue to the image.
For more precise control over the color temperature, you can adjust the x and y
coordinates for gray. These define its location on the standard CIE chromaticity graph,
shown in
Figure 4-9. (CIE stands for “Commission Internationale de l’Éclairage”
(International Commission on Illumination), the organization responsible for color
measurement and management standards.) Changing either or both of these numbers
changes the hue of gray, within a narrow range above or below the selected color
temperature; refer to

space characteristics in the
ICC Adjust sub-menu under the ISF Settings menu, described
later in this section. (The Standard color space is factory-set and not adjustable.)
White Balance: To remove any trace of color from the white areas of the projected
image, choose White Balance from the Picture Adjust menu and press ENTER.
•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,
green or blue, decrease the Gain for that color.
•Offset: Use the Offset controls in the White Balance sub-menu 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, green or blue, decrease the Offset for that color.
Save Settings: The CL-410/CL-420 lets you save image quality settings for each input
and supported resolution to a preset. You can recall this preset at a later time by simply
pressing a button on the remote control or using the Restore Picture Settings menu
command (see below).

•Clock: If you notice flickering or vertical noise when displaying computer images,
adjust the Clock setting to correct the issue.
•Phase: Adjust the phase if the image shows shimmer or “horizontal” noise. Pixel phase
adjusts the phase of the pixel sampling clock relative to the incoming signal. The effect
of this control is similar to that of a tracking control on a VCR.
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. (You may
notice that you can stabilize the image at more than one point. Use either setting in this
case.)
To restore the original Clock and Phase settings, select Reset and press ENTER, then
press ENTER again to confirm the reset.

Caution
This projector uses a pressurized mercury lamp. A loud sound may
indicate lamp failure. Lamp failure is caused by excessive shock,
improper cooling, surface scratches or deterioration of the lamp due
to usage. The period of time up to failure largely varies depending on
the individual lamp and the condition and the frequency of use. It is
important to note that failure can often result in the bulb cracking.
When the lamp replacement indicator and on-screen display icon are
illuminated or are flashing, replace the lamp with a new one
immediately, even if the lamp appears to be operating normally.
If the lamp breaks, glass particles may spread inside the lamp cage
or gas contained in the lamp may be vented into the room from the
exhaust vent. As the gas in this lamp contains mercury, ventilate the
room well if the lamp breaks and avoid all exposure to the released
gas. In case of exposure to the gas, consult a doctor as soon as
possible.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting
5.5
Lamp Cautions
If the lamp breaks, there is also a possibility that glass particles may
spread inside the projector. If this happens, contact your nearest
Authorized Dealer to remove the damaged lamp and ensure safe
operation.
Do not remove the lamp unit immediately after turning off the
projector. Touching a hot lamp can cause burns or injury. Wait at
least one hour after the disconnecting the power cord to allow the
surface of the lamp unit to fully cool before removing.

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.

-Light Output: 412 ANSI Lumens (CL-410);
421 ANSI Lumens (CL-420)
-Contrast Ratio: 221:1 (CL-410); 228:1 (CL-420)
These specifications are obtained by calibrating the projector as

850 ANSI Lumens (CL-420)
-Contrast Ratio: 2500:1 (CL-410); 2600:1 (CL-420)
These are typical projector brightness and contrast specifications
found in most companies’ sales literature. Runco includes these
measurements in its literature to allow for direct comparison with
other manufacturers’ projectors. These measurements are
typically taken at 9,000K to 13,000K to get expected performance
data when the projector is used in professional, commercial and
industrial displays.

Compatibility
The CL-410/CL-420 can display video signals from a variety of computer sources via its
RGB-HD and HDMI inputs. It is compatible with the three most common sync modes –
sync-on-green, composite sync and RGB with separate sync – as well as XGA display
adapters that use advanced intelligent compression.
Table 7-2 lists the signal types that are compatible with the CL-410/CL-420, and indicates
which of those are VESA standards.
