Introduction

The RS-1100 Series DLP 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 RS-1100 is equipped with a precision optics package offering a power zoom control and a throw range of 1.55 to 1.98 times the screen width. The RS-1100 Ultra provides even greater installation flexibility, with five lens options from which to choose offering throw distances ranging from 1.03 to 4.75 times the screen width.

The RS-1100's illumination system incorporates Runco's exclusive Selectable Lamp Intensity Control™ (SLIC™), which 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-1100 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-1100 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.

For uncompromising widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope” (2.35:1) format, the RS-1100 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-1100 Ultra is CineWide with AutoScope™, an enhanced, remote-controlled motorized version of CineWide.

IMINAR

1.4 Description, Features and Benefits

The RS-1100 is available with or without the SDC-1, a versatile, high-performance digital video switcher. By providing a single, convenient connection point for home theater components that is separate from the projector, the SDC-1 gives designers and installers greater flexibility in terms of projector placement. It also simplifies the task of adding components after the projector has been installed.

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

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

RS-1100 Throw Ratio: 1.55 to 1.93 RS-1100 CineWide Throw Ratio: 1.86 to 1.93 RS-1100 Ultra Throw Ratio: refer to Table 3-3

Throw Ratio - Standard RS-1100/CineWide: The standard RS-1100/CineWide offers a throw ratio of between 1.86 and 1.93. It uses a prismatic-style anamorphic lens that compresses the image height (as opposed to the cylindrical anamorphic lenses used with the RS-1100 Ultra, which stretch the image width).

Note

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 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 44.

The standard RS-1100/CineWide uses a prismatic-style anamorphic lens. This type of 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 RS-1100 Ultra/CineWide and RS-1100 Ultra/CineWide with AutoScope use a cylindrical anamorphic lens with a much larger aperture than the prismatic lens used with the standard RS-1100/CineWide.

If you are installing a standard RS-1100/CineWide or RS-1100 Ultra/CineWide, refer to

Anamorphic Lens Installation and Adjustment - Standard RS-1100/CineWide or RS-1100 Ultra/CineWide on page 38. If you are installing an RS-1100 Ultra/CineWide

with AutoScope, continue with the next section.

The RS-1100 Ultra Anamorphic lens mount kit consists of everything shown in Figure 3-16. Some components shipped with your projector may differ slightly from what is shown in these instructions.

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.

Attaching Lens Mounting Assembly to Lens Motor Carriage Plate:

1. Remove the two Yaw/X Adjustment Levers and 1/4-20 Fiber Washers from the bottom of the lens mounting assembly.

2. Place the Lens Mounting Assembly on top of the Lens Motor Carriage Plate. Position the bracket so that the long slot at the bottom of the bracket is perpendicular to the corresponding slots on the carriage plate.

3. Secure the Lens Mounting Assembly to the plate with the Yaw/X Adjustment Levers and Washers that you removed in Step 1.

4. Attach the Lens Adapter Ring to the Pitch Adjustment Yoke using the three Lens Rotation Set Screws; see by threading it clockwise.

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-1100 Ultra for proper AutoScope operation:

1. Press MENU on the remote control.

2. Select Service from the Main menu and press ENTER.

3. Use the number buttons on the remote to enter the Service menu passcode when prompted and press ENTER again. Then, press MENU on the remote control.

4. Select Screen Trigger Mode from the Service menu.

5. Set the Screen Trigger Mode to “AutoScope.” This enables the lens motor to move the anamorphic lens into position (in front of the primary lens) when the Cinema or Virtual Cinema aspect ratio is selected.

6. Select the Cinema or Virtual Cinema aspect ratio to move the anamorphic lens into position, if it isn’t already. To do this, press CINEMA or VCINE on the RS-1100 remote control (

Figure 2-4).

Installation

Adjusting the Horizontal (X) Lens Position:

1. Project a white field on the screen.

2. Loosen the Yaw/X-Adjustment Levers underneath the lens.

3. Slowly move the anamorphic lens into place (from right to left or vice versa) so that there are no shadows on either side of the screen:

To do this, loosen the Pitch Adjustment T-Screws (directly below the Height/Y Adjustment T-Screws) 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:

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:

Note

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.

The RS-1100 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 RS-1100 inputs in the following order:

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.

White Balance: To remove any trace of color from the white areas of the projected image, choose White Balance from the Set Up menu and press ENTER.

• Gamma: “Gamma” is a global setting that 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, the overall tone of your images can be lightened or darkened without changing the extremes and all images will be more vibrant while still showing good detail in dark areas.

In all but the most unusual situations, the appropriate “Gamma Selection” (see below) will produce accurate colors and a satisfying contrast level. However, it is sometimes necessary to adjust the red, blue and green gamma curves individually. To do this, select Gamma from the White Balance sub-menu and use the left- and right-arrow buttons to manipulate the on-screen slidebars.

•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.

• Store Custom 1/Store Custom 2: When you are finished adjusting the Gamma, Gain and Offset, select Store Custom 1 or Store Custom 2 to store your settings. To recall them, set the Color Temperature to Custom 1 or Custom 2 in the Image Adjustment menu (refer to

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.

SD Enhance: The SD 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.

• H Enhance/V Enhance: These controls can improve the apparent horizontal and/or

vertical resolution of the image.

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

and can make colors appear more vibrant and saturated.

• H Threshold/V Threshold/Chroma Threshold: Set these to +11 or higher to

activate the enhancement controls described above. Generally, the higher the threshold, the more noticeable the enhancements you make will be.

• Signal Fine Tune: This sub-menu displays current input signal timing information and

provides the following advanced settings.

• Clamp Place: “Clamping” refers to the removal of any DC offset from the analog

input signal so that it can be accurately digitized. Clamping normally occurs a short time after the trailing edge of the horizontal sync signal (H-sync), when the video source is known to be producing black. The analog-to-digital converter in the RS-1100 uses the input signal at this point as its black level reference and processes all other signal levels accordingly.

Clamp Place is the number of pixel periods (1 to 255 inclusive) that should pass after the trailing edge of H-sync before clamping starts. If images from an HD source appear excessively dim, try adjusting the Clamp Place to correct this.

• Clamp Duration: Clamp Duration is the number of pixel periods (1 to 255 inclusive)

for which clamping is active. For best results, set the clamp duration to include the majority of the black reference signal time that follows the H-sync signal trailing edge. Increase the Clamp Duration if you see brightness changes at the top of the screen and/or slow recovery from large changes in the average picture level (APL), or brightness.

• Pre-Coast/Post-Coast: With some HD sources, H-sync may become distorted or

disappear altogether during the vertical sync (V-sync) pulse period. With composite sync or sync-on-green RGB signals, H-sync may contain equalization pulses or other distortions during V-sync.

To maintain proper signal timing, such distortions should be ignored; otherwise, “tearing” of the image at the top of the display may result. The solution is to employ “coasting,” which allows the pixel clock to free-run at its then-current frequency. It can do so for several lines without significant frequency drift.

Pre-Coast sets the number of H-sync periods that Coast becomes active prior to V-sync. Post-Coast sets the number of H-sync periods that Coast stays active following V-sync. Increase one or both settings to correct jitter or instability in the image.

• SOG (Sync-On-Green) Threshold: SOG Threshold adjusts the voltage level of the

RS-1100 Sync-on-Green signal detection circuitry. Adjust the SOG Threshold if an image from a “sync on green” RGB source is unstable or won’t display at all. Higher settings lower the SOG detection threshold in 10-millivolt steps; lower settings raise the threshold. The range is from 0 (330 mV) to 31 (10 mV) inclusive. The default setting is 23 (100 mV) and should rarely require adjustment.

• Overscan Rate: Refer to Image Over Scan on page 59.

• Video Decoder Adjust: To optimize the display of SD Component video signals, select Video Decoder Adjust and adjust the gain on the Y, Pb and Pr channels.

Image Over Scan: Image Over Scan 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. Over scan effectively trims away these inactive, outer edges and enlarges the remaining portion of the image to fill the display area.

Use the on-screen slidebar to select the desired amount of over scan.

For HDTV, DVDs and other video sources, Image Over Scan is generally not necessary or desirable.

Note

Amplitude Adjust: The Amplitude Adjust menu allows you to fine-tune the currently-selected image aspect ratio by stretching it horizontally or vertically, in small increments. This can be useful if your projector is equipped with an anamorphic lens.

The Horizontal control adjusts the image width while keeping the height constant. Similarly, the Vertical control adjusts the image height while keeping the width constant.

Horizontal Masking (CineWide RS-1100 versions only): To achieve the proper image geometry with the secondary anamorphic lens, select Horizontal Masking from the Set menu. Then, use the small increments.

Video Black Level: 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.

Lamp Power: Select Lamp Power from the Set Up Menu to adjust the lamp output level.

PRE

You can choose to run the lamp as bright as possible (250W; this is the default setting) or you can choose the lower (200W) setting. Generally, lower lamp output can prolong the life of the lamp, but decreases brightness.

Remote Control: The Remote Control menu shows you the primary and secondary infrared (IR) codes to which the RS-1100 will respond. The Primary IR code is permanently set to +20. The secondary IR code is also +20.

You can change the secondary IR code if either:

• Another device in the theater (a DVD player, for example) is responding to commands from the RS-1100 remote control in ways that are unpredictable or undesirable.

• You have multiple RS-1100 projectors and want to control them independently, as opposed to broadcasting commands from a single remote to all of them. In this scenario, you can use multiple remotes programmed to use different IR codes. Or, you can use a single remote and change the IR code as needed to address a specific projector.

When you change the secondary IR code, the remote sends that code instead of the primary IR code.

6Serial Communications

To interface the RS-1100 with a home theater automation/control system or a PC running terminal emulation software:

1. Connect it to your control system or PC as shown in Figure 3-13.

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 match that of the projector (115200, 38400 or 9600).

4. Press <Enter>. You should see a command prompt (>) in the terminal window.

5. Type a command from among those listed in Table 6-1 and press <Enter>. For example, to change the aspect ratio to Letterbox, type x063x <Enter>.

Serial commands to the RS-1100 take the following form:

• Commands are in ASCII format.

• Commands are not case-sensitive; X001X and x001x are equivalent.

• A carriage return MUST follow each command.

Table 7-1. RS-1100 Specifications (continued)

Brightness and Contrast: Cinema Standards Measurement System (CSMS)

Specifications

- Brightness*: 14.5 to 21.6 foot-Lamberts (fL)

- Contrast Ratio*: 200:1 to 220:1 *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.

Home Theater Calibration Specifications

- Light Output: 442 to 587 ANSI Lumens

- Contrast Ratio*: 200:1 to 220:1

These specifications are obtained by calibrating the projector as described above for CSMS measurements.

Industry-Standard Specifications

- Light Output: 1250 ANSI Lumens

- Contrast Ratio: 1500:1 to 3100:1

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.
