• The dealer/distributor will provide to Runco proof of purchase, serial number, product model number, description of the problem and any troubleshooting steps already attempted.

• Runco’s technical support staff will attempt to assist the dealer/distributor in troubleshooting any technical issues that might be causing the product to malfunction. If Runco is unable to resolve the problem through troubleshooting, a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number will be issued for the exchange of the defective product if it is determined that the claim is covered by the warranty. Once an RMA has been created, RMA status is available at serviceorders@runco.com.

• If an RMA is issued, the dealer or customer will need to return the defective product to the Runco repair depot location specified by the Runco technical support representative. The dealer or customer will need to properly package the defective product in a suitable shipping container consisting of the product only, and not include any accessories (e.g., cables, remotes, carrying cases, lens, lens cap and other peripherals). Boxes may be purchased from a Runco technical support representative.

• The dealer or customer is responsible for paying freight charges and insurance to ship the defective product to the Runco repair depot location. If there are any shipping damages, the dealer or customer will need to address and resolve any shipping damage claims directly with the shipping company.

• Runco will not accept a returned product unless an RMA has been issued by Runco.

• For in-warranty repairs, Runco will pay freight charges to return the repaired/replacement product to the dealer/distributor from the Runco repair depot. For select countries or geographies Runco will ship via an economy express service. Return delivery time and availability may vary based on origin and destination, and Runco is unable to deliver to PO Box and FPO Box addresses.

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

Offering the best in high-end luxury projection, the new Signature Cinema™ SC-30d/SC-35d Active 3D Projection System expands Runco’s most prestigious line of custom-built personal cinema projectors.

In concert with the prowess of the Signature Cinema Series, the SC-30d/SC-35d offers exceptional performance with a state-of-the-art product that enables an extraordinary cinematic experience that surpasses even the most renowned public theaters. This is because the product and room are custom-built with the finest components to exactly match an owner’s specifications. The SC-30d/SC-35d utilizes a Runco-patented technology to enable the use of digital cinema lenses in a proprietary optical system and provides an unparalleled range of brightness and features for creating immersive entertainment experiences.

The SC-35d boasts 3,500 ANSI lumens of brightness (uncalibrated), and when calibrated to Runco’s CSMS™ standards delivers a dazzling 87 Foot-Lamberts (fL) of brightness.These benefits combine into a brilliant image that provides a spectacular color gamut and contrast, as well as unmatched color brightness, even on the largest screen sizes. For home theater environments that may not require the SC-35d’s light output capability, the SC-30d provides an impressive 1,950 ANSI Lumens (before calibration) of light output and enhanced contrast. In all other respects, the two projectors are identical.

The SC-30d/SC-35d ships with Runco’s new Dimension Digital Controller™ (DC-300), which has been engineered to enhance 3D performance. This 2U outboard controller provides a level of flexibility and control not commonly found in integrated processors, and provides the Runco installer with a full suite of calibration tools necessary to achieve a perfect picture in any viewing environment.

The SC-30d/SC-35d comes with three pairs of active 3D glasses and relies on frame sequential 3D technology to ensure that users can enjoy 2D and 3D content on the same screen, with full 1080p HD resolution delivered to both eyes.

1.3 Description, Features and Benefits

The SC-30d/SC-35d features Runco’s revolutionary Personal Color Equalizer™ (PCE), which allows color adjustment that includes those exactly defined by the cinematographer and the color preferences of each individual viewer for each source.

In addition to Runco's proprietary Personal Color Equalizer, the SC-30d/SC-35d can also be paired with Runco’s legendary CineWide™ technology. Through an ingenious combination of software, electronics and precision anamorphic optics, CineWide provides uncompromised widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope” 2.35:1 format. It 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. Also available with the SC-30d/SC-35d 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),

Note

Rounding out this projector’s impressive feature set are discrete input source, aspect ratio and power on/off control (via serial commands or IR codes), for seamless integration with automation control systems.

2. System Overview

A SC-30d/SC-35d 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 Dimension Digital Controller 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 SC-30d/SC-35d 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 shows the key SC-30d/SC-35d 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 SC-30d/SC-35d installation, you will need to run three cables from the projector to the Dimension Digital Controller: 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

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 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 3-5 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.

3.4 Installing the Primary Projection Lens

The primary projection lens is shipped separately from the projector. Tto install it, proceed as follows:

1. Carefully remove the projector from the

shipping container and place it on a flat surface.

2. Loosen the Phillips screws at the bottom

and top of the decorative bezel on the front of the projector.

IMINAR

PRE

3. Grasp the bezel by the front, then slide it

forward to remove it.

4. Carefully remove the lens from the shipping container.

5. Remove the rear cap from the lens. This protective cap is only used during shipping to

protect the lens from damage.

If the SC-30d/SC-35d is ceiling-mounted and the screen is significantly lower than the projector, you can tilt the projector at a slight angle by adjusting the ceiling mount.

The projector can be rotated (side-to-side) up to 360 degrees and mounted without it affecting performance. However, to ensure optimal performance of the lamp, limit the front-to-back tilt of the projector to ±20 degrees; see Figure 3-10.

Figure 3-10. Mounting Angle Ranges (Front-to-Back and Side-to-Side)

If you do this, you may need to shift the image using the on-screen display (OSD) controls, to compensate. For detailed instructions, refer to Primary Lens Adjustments: Focus, Zoom and Position on page 51.

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 3-27.

“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.

To correct keystoning or pincushion distortion:

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

2. Select Calibration from the Main Menu and enter the Calibration Menu passcode.

You must enter a passcode to access the Calibration menu.

Configure Lens Motor Trigger on Dimension Digital Controller: The anamorphic lens solution for the SC-30d/SC-35d 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.

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.

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.

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 2-6), or press or repeatedly with no menus visible on-screen.

7. Proceed as described in the following sections to adjust the anamorphic lens.

Horizontal Position (X) Adjustment:

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:

When the height is properly set, tighten the Height Adjustment T-Screws to secure the lens in place.

Adjusting the Pitch (Angle): Next, angle the lens to even out any top-to-bottom pincushion distortion. 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:

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.

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.

2.35:1 image so that the active image area fills the 16:9 chip surface, eliminating the black bars. The secondary, anamorphic lens then restores the proper geometry to the

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 74.

2. For best results, Runco recommends that you set ConstantContrast (available only on the SC-30d) to Off before adjusting Brightness, Contrast and other image quality settings in this menu (refer to ConstantContrast (SC-30d only) on page 82). 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.

Tip

IMINAR

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 menu 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 SC-30d/SC-35d, 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:

When you do, the message “Settings Copied” briefly appears on-screen. The Copy/Paste menu then re-appears, indicating the source of the copied settings.

Note

•Memory Preset - Paste Settings: To apply the settings on the clipboard to a different input source, signal format and/or memory preset, do any or all of the following:

• Switch to another input (for example, from HD1 to HD2).

• Change the output signal format at the source (for example, from 720p/60 to

1080i/60).

• Switch to another Memory Preset (for example, from ISF Night to Custom 1).

Then, select Paste Settings from the Copy/Paste Memory Preset menu. If you want

to keep these new settings, you must save them! (Refer to Save ISF Night/Save ISF Day on page 82 or Memory Presets on page 74.)

Copied settings are not retained after a power cycle.

Copied From: Aspect Ratio 16:9 Screen Screen 1

Operation

•Aspect Ratio - Paste Settings: To apply the Output Shift, Image Alignment and Screen Masking settings on the clipboard to a different aspect ratio and/or screen, do either of the following:

• Switch to another aspect ratio (for example, from 16:9 to Cinema).

• Switch from Screen 1 to Screen 2 or vice versa.

Then, select Paste Settings from the Copy/Paste Aspect Ratio menu. The new settings are saved automatically.

Output Shift: The Left/Right, Up/Down, Width and Height controls in the Output Shift menu are similar to those in the Input Position menu, except that they change the characteristics of the output signal. These settings are saved independently for each

aspect ratio and screen selection (refer to Screen on page 66).

• Screen Masking: This control adjusts the amount of cropping on each edge of the

output image. This differs from the regular Overscan control in two ways:

• It allows separate adjustments on each edge; and

• It is saved per aspect ratio, per screen (as opposed to per connector, per mode).

This is useful for installations where the aspect ratio of the screen doesn’t exactly match the aspect ratio of the display.

Image Alignment: Use the controls in the Image Alignment menu to ensure proper image geometry; that is, a perfectly rectangular projected image with no keystoning or pincushion. For detailed instructions, refer to Adjusting the Image Geometry on page 53.

Adjustment Mode (during 3D Operation): By default, any command or control message you send using the remote control, front-panel keypad or RS-232 interface is acted upon by both the Primary and Secondary scalers in the Dimension Digital Controller. In some cases — for example, when using the lens controls or aligning the “left eye” or “right eye” output images — you may need to address a command to only the Primary or Secondary scaler. To do this, select Adjustment Mode from the Calibration menu and set it to Primary or Secondary. The Main Menu title changes to “Runco Video (Pri.)” or “Runco Video (Sec.)” when you do this.

Note

Splash Configure: Use the Splash Configure menu to control the appearance and behavior of the “splash” screen that appears on the display upon power-up.

•Owner Name/ISF Calibrated/ISF Other: You can have the SC-30d/SC-35d display the owner’s name, your name, the phrase “ISF Calibrated” and/or any other string, up to 30 characters in length.

IMINAR

The Secondary OSD menus are only visible during 3D operation. In 2D mode, you will only see the image from the Primary scaler, regardless of this setting. If you want to adjust the Secondary scaler while in 2D mode, you must use the built-in keypad and VFD on the Dimension Digital Controller.

Use the up or down cursor button to select a character. Use the right and left cursor buttons to change the cursor position. Press MENU when you have finished entering text.

• Splash Timer: When you turn on the SC-30d/SC-35d, it projects a welcome screen with the Runco and ISF logos, along with the personalized information you enter as described above. Select Splash Timer from the Splash Configure menu to set the amount of time for which this screen appears. The range is from 5 to 60 seconds, in one-second increments. Press or to set the timer, then press MENU.
