Introduction

The CinemaWall XP-50/XP-65 Flat-Panel Plasma Display Monitor takes picture quality to a whole new level, boasting our brightest picture, best contrast ratio, deepest black levels and most spot-on high definition colorimetry ever! In addition, sophisticated 16-bit digital video processing, a new milestone, results in 4096 steps of graduation for seamless images completely devoid of the primitive “solarization” and “stair stepping” characteristics previously plaguing digital flat panel displays.

The CinemaWall features all of the Runco technologies you have come to expect from the World's Finest Home Theater Products. Discrete, multiple aspect ratio control includes VirtualWide™ for viewing 4:3 content in widescreen without appreciable picture degradation, as well as ISF(ccc) calibration modes to easily maintain ISF standards. The automation interface includes RS-232 control with discrete aspect ratio, input and power on/off selection.

The CinemaWall not only represents a leap forward in high definition flat-panel technology, but our engineering advances in plasma design ensure that it will enjoy a long life in any installation, with operation extending to as much as 60,000 hours. At less than 4-1/4 inches thin, the CinemaWall provides unlimited installation flexibility as well.

• 16:9 Native Resolution: 1920 x 1080

• Multiple Aspect Ratios with VirtualWide™ Mode

• Less than 4-1/4 inches thin

• High-altitude compliant to 9,000 feet

Note

Proper installation of your CinemaWall will ensure the highest possible picture quality. Whether you are installing the CinemaWall temporarily or permanently, you should take the following into account to ensure that it performs optimally.

interaction between ambient air pressure and the plasma gases contained inside of the panel, reliable operation of your plasma display cannot be assured during operation at certain high-altitude locations.

At higher elevations, each panel may react differently, depending upon the altitude, air pressure, humidity and other meteorological factors. If you are planning to use this product at a high-altitude location (above 9,000 feet), please contact Runco technical support for further information.

To install the CinemaWall, you will need either an optional table stand or wall-mounting kit.

If you do decide to wall-mount the CinemaWall, ensure that the wall-mount bracket is installed according to the instructions included with it. The wall must be capable of supporting a redundant weight factor five (5) times the weight of the display, or be reinforced.

Runco recommends that this be done by a custom installation specialist.

Use only a Runco-approved wall-mount kit, table stand or floor pedestal that is specifically designed for your display. Refer to Parts List on page 4 for ordering information.

Mounting the CinemaWall on a Wall or Table Stand

You can attach your optional mounts or stand to the CinemaWall in either of two ways:

• While it is upright.

PRE

Installation

➤

• As it lies flat with the screen face down. Place the protective sheet, which was wrapped around the plasma monitor when it was packaged, between the screen and your work surface to avoid scratching or otherwise damaging the screen surface.

Ambient Light In general, minimize or eliminate light sources directed at the display. Contrast ratio in your

images will be noticeably reduced if light directly strikes the display, 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.

Ventilation If you are mounting the CinemaWall in an enclosure, leave sufficient space on all sides

between it and surrounding objects, as shown in maintaining the proper operating temperature.

damage and prolong operating life:

• Keep the ambient temperature constant and below 35°C (95°F). Keep the display away from heating and/or air conditioning vents. Changes in temperature may cause drifts in the display circuitry, which may affect performance.

• Keep the CinemaWall away from devices that radiate electromagnetic energy such as motors and transformers. Common sources of these include slide projectors, speakers, power amplifiers and elevators.

• Handle the unit carefully when installing or carrying it. Use the built-in handles; DO NOT touch or hold the screen face.

• Set the unit away from heat, excessive dust, and direct sunlight.

• Protect the inside of the unit from liquids and small metal objects. In case of accident, unplug the power cord and have it serviced by an authorized Service Center.

• Do not hit or scratch the panel surface as this causes flaws on the surface of the screen.

• For correct installation and mounting it is strongly recommended to use a trained, authorized dealer.

• To avoid sulfurization, it is strongly recommended not to place the unit in a dressing room in a public bath or hot spring bath.

PICTURE Use the controls in the PICTURE menu to calibrate your CinemaWall for optimum picture

quality.

The CinemaWall 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.

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, Video Essentials or AVIA test DVD (or equivalent).

• A blue filter (provided with many test DVDs), for color level and tint adjustments.

COLOR TEMP: To choose a color temperature setting, select COLOR TEMP from the PICTURE menu. (Color temperature defines the “color of gray.”) The choices are NORMAL, COOL or WARM.

For most situations, the appropriate setting is NORMAL. COOL produces a “bluer” picture; WARM a “warmer” picture with more pronounced red and orange hues.

COLOR MANAGEMENT: Select COLOR MANAGEMENT from the PICTURE menu and set it to ON to have the CinemaWall automatically manage color balance. For more direct control of color balance, set it to OFF.

ADVANCED SETTINGS: Set ADVANCED SETTINGS to ON, then press to perform the following picture quality adjustments:

• BLACK EXTENSION: Use the BLACK EXTENSION control to adjust the black level

“floor” (lower limit). If blacks appear too gray, set BLACK EXTENSION to a higher value.

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.

• AGC (Automatic Gain Control): AGC increases the brightness of dark signals automatically. To enable AGC, set it to ON. To disable it, set it to OFF.

• R/G/B GAIN: Use the Gain controls in the ADVANCED SETTINGS sub-menu 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 or blue, decrease the Gain for that color.

• R/G/B OFFSET: Use the Offset controls in the ADVANCED SETTINGS 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 or blue, decrease the Offset for that color.

DOT CLOCK (INPUT3/PC INPUT only): Use this control to adjust 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.

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 below) can be optimized.

CLOCK PHASE (INPUT3/PC INPUT only): This control adjusts the phase of the pixel sampling clock relative to the incoming signal. Adjust the phase when an RGB or Component image still shows shimmer or “noise” after DOT CLOCK has been optimized.

PRE

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.

IMINAR

Tip

DOT CLOCK cannot be adjusted if the incoming signal pixel clock frequency is 108 MHz or greater.

Adjust the Phase after adjusting DOT CLOCK (see above). If some shimmer from a video or HDTV source persists, use the NOISE REDUCTION controls (described on page 39) to remove high-frequency noise from the signal.

1:1 PIXEL MODE (1080i/1080p signals only): Select 1:1 PIXEL MODE from the POS./SIZE menu and set it to On to have the CinemaWall map a 1920x1080 input signal to 1080p HD panel pixels, displaying 100% of the original content. By skipping the scaling process, the CinemaWall can produce high-definition images in their original, 1:1 pixel form.

When 1:1 PIXEL MODE mode is Off, the picture source is scaled for over-scanning and 97% of the original is displayed. Use this setting to minimize or eliminate image flicker.

6. Serial Communications

To interface the CinemaWall with a home theater automation/control system or a PC running terminal emulation software, connect it to your control system or PC as shown in Figure 3-5. Use a straight-through cable.

Configure the RS-232 controller or PC serial port as follows:

• 9600 baud

• No parity

• Eight (8) data bits

• One (1) stop bit

• No flow control

Serial commands to the CinemaWall take the following form:

• You can send commands in either hexadecimal or ASCII format.

• ASCII commands are case-sensitive and must be in UPPERCASE.

• Commands begin with the “Start of Text” (STX) character (02h or <Ctrl> B in ASCII), followed by the command data, the colon character (3Ah or : in ASCII), command parameter (1 or <Ctrl> C in ASCII). Not all commands require parameters to be sent with them; examples of such commands are PON (power on), POF (power off) and IMS (toggle input selection).

• You do not need to send a carriage return after the command.

• When sending multiple commands, be sure to wait for a response to the first command to come from the CinemaWall before sending the next command.

• When you send a valid command, the CinemaWall executes it and echoes the command (without the parameter) back to the controller.

• If you send an invalid command, the CinemaWall sends ER401 back to the controller.
