Installation

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

The extremely large size and high power consumption of the XP-103DHD place unique demands upon both the installation personnel and the installation site, over and above those of the 50-inch and 65-inch PlasmaWall models.

Installing the XP-103DHD requires the following:

• Several people familiar with complex mechanical installations.

• Specialized equipment.

• A dedicated 220VAC circuit.

• A “carry-in” path with sufficient clearances.

• An installation location that can support the weight of both the plasma panel and mounting hardware (floor pedestal or wall mount).

These and other installation requirements are detailed in a document called Runco XP-103DHD Installation Site Pre-Qualification, available from your Runco dealer or representative, or from www.Runco.com. Before proceeding with an XP-103DHD installation, obtain, read and make sure you understand everything in this document.

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.

IMINAR

Runco has found all PlasmaWall models to operate reliably at altitudes of up to 9,000 feet MSL (mean sea level).

3.3 Installation Considerations

Special Requirements for the XP-103DHD

High-Altitude OperationDue to the design of all plasma glass panels made by every manufacturer, and the

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 location above 9,000 feet, please contact Runco technical support for further information.

To install the PlasmaWall, you will need either an optional table stand, floor pedestal or wall-mounting kit. (The XP-103DHD must be either wall-mounted or attached to a floor pedestal.)

If you do decide to wall-mount the PlasmaWall, 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.

Note

PlasmaWall XP Series Installation/Operation Manual 17

PRE

Use only a Runco-approved wall-mount kit, table stand or floor pedestal that is specifically designed for your display. Refer to

Installation

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

• While it is upright.

• 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.

Synchronization Issues

Due to its extraordinarily high level of video processing performance, the DHD Controller

➤

may distribute video signals with a perceptible level of audio latency. In order to easily solve this issue, Runco recommends using the DHD 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 A/V receivers introduce additional latency that needs to be compensated for during the installation. latency given different signal input timings.

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 PlasmaWall 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.

quality.

The PlasmaWall 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 DHD 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.

Brightness: On your external test pattern source, select a PLUGE pattern. (PLUGE is an acronym for “Picture Line-Up Generation Equipment.”) pattern.

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 separately.) For information about saving settings, refer to

Memory Presets on page 47.

• The dark gray areas are barely visible.

• The lighter gray areas are clearly visible.

• The white areas are a comfortable level of true white.

Left/Right Up/Down Width Height Overscan Overscan Mode Phase Tracking

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.

Figure 4-6 illustrates the effect of each overscan mode setting.

Tip

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.

PRE

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.

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: Use the Display Color settings to adjust the color balance at the DHD 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 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.

Select S-Curve to emphasize mid-level (gray area) detail, relative to the black and white areas of the image.

Tip

When you change a remote code on the PlasmaWall, you must re-program the PlasmaWall remote control to send that same code. To do this:

1. Press and hold the LIGHT button on the remote control for approximately three seconds, or until the LED on the remote lights solid red.

2. Enter a new two-digit code between 00 and 31 inclusive. Include a leading zero for single-digit codes; for example, enter 9 as “09.”

3. The LED turns off to confirm the code change. If you enter an invalid code, the LED flashes for three or four seconds. Try again, entering a valid code.

Color Space: Select Color Space from the Service menu to choose the color space of the source signal for HDMI, RGB, and component connections.

• The default setting, Auto, functions as follows:

• HDMI: If the Auxiliary Video Information (AVI) infoframe contains color space and/or range data, the PlasmaWall uses that information. Otherwise, for RGB sources, the PlasmaWall uses the RGB-Video color space. For component SDTV and EDTV resolutions, REC601 is used. For other component video resolutions, REC709 is used.

• RGB: If Hsync or Vsync signals are present, the PlasmaWall uses the RGB-PC color space. Otherwise, REC601 is used for SDTV and EDTV sources, and REC709 for all other sources.

• Component: For SDTV and EDTV resolutions, the PlasmaWall uses the REC601 color space. For all other resolutions, REC709 is used.

In most cases, the Auto setting determines the correct color space to use. If it does not, you can force the PlasmaWall to use a specific color space. Choose one of the following:

• REC709 sets the color space matrix to that defined in ITU-R BT.709.

• REC601 sets the color space matrix to that defined in ITU-R BT.601.

• RGB-PC uses RGB color space and sets black at 0,0,0 RGB and white at 255,255,255 RGB, assuming an 8-bit image.

• RGB-Video uses RGB color space and sets black at 16,16,16 RGB and white at 235,235,235, assuming an 8-bit image, to correspond to the luminance values defined in digital component standards.

Operation

Triggers: Select Triggers from the Service menu to configure the 12-volt trigger outputs. You can assign one or more trigger outputs to each aspect ratio. Those triggers are then activated by selecting that aspect ratio.

• CUE (Chroma Upsampling Error) Correction: Some DVD players use MPEG decoders that do not correctly “upsample” the 4:2:0 format chroma information on the DVD to the 4:2:2 or 4:4:4 format required by the video encoder of the display device.

This so-called “chroma bug” sometimes causes streaky or spiky horizontal lines running through the chroma channel. It is most noticeable in static, interlaced scenes and on diagonal edges (especially red ones). Set

Sync Threshold: Select Sync Threshold to adjust the threshold at which negative pulses on the component video green/luma channel are interpreted to be sync pulses.

Sync Threshold adjustment is occasionally necessary when a DVD player or HDTV source signal drops “below black” (for example, during scenes with explosions or when subtitles are present) and causes the display device to temporarily lose sync. If the sync level from the source is persistently too low, the display device won’t sync with the source at all.

The range is from 0 (approximately 60 millivolts (mV)) to 15 (approximately 256 mV).

HDMI EDID Extension: Extended display identification data (EDID) is a data structure provided by a display device to describe its capabilities to a graphics card. It is what enables a modern personal computer to know what kind of monitor is connected.

Some modern display devices provide more information via EDID than others, in the form of “extensions.” Some computer graphics cards do recognize or properly interpret this extended EDID information.

6. External Control

In addition to using the DHD Controller front-panel keypad or remote control unit, there are two methods of controlling the PlasmaWall and DHD Controller externally:

• Using a serial (RS-232) link to send ASCII commands and receive responses to those commands.

• Using discrete infrared (IR) codes to program a third-party remote control unit.

The following sections describe both of these methods.

The DHD Controller uses a simple text-based control protocol to take requests from control devices and to provide responses to such devices. This section describes how to send control messages over a serial link between the DHD Controller and an automation/control system or a PC running terminal emulation software.

6.1 Serial Communications

To interface the PlasmaWall with an automation/control system or a PC running terminal emulation software, connect it to the Display Control output of the DHD Controller as shown in Controller as shown in Figure 3-11.

Configure the RS-232 controller or PC serial port as follows: no parity, eight (8) data bits, one (1) stop bit and no flow control. Set the baud rate to 19200, to match that of the DHD Controller RS-232 port.

• Commands are not case-sensitive.

• For a single command that takes no parameters, type the command followed by a carriage return; for example, to set the aspect ratio to Letterbox, type

LETTERBOX

• For a single command that takes a parameter, type the command, a space or a comma and the desired value followed by a carriage return; for example, to set the brightness to -10, type BRIGHTNESS

BRIGHTNESS,-10

• You can also send a string of multiple commands on a single line, separated by commas. For example, COMPOSITE,BRIGHTNESS the Composite video input, sets the brightness to 50 and sets the aspect ratio to 16:9. Command strings can be up to 255 characters long.

Table 6-1 lists the RS-232 command set. The “Parameter (min/max)” column shows the valid parameter ranges, or “NA” for commands that take no parameters.

When you enter a valid command, the DHD Controller executes it and acknowledges it with a plus sign on the command line (+ >). When you enter an invalid command – one that is misspelled or followed by values outside the valid range for that command – the DHD Controller ignores it and returns a minus sign (- >).

Using Discrete IR Codes

IR Command Protocol The IR control codes have the following characteristics:

The DHD Controller accepts commands in the form of IR signals that conform to the Phillips RC5 protocol. Each DHD Controller remote control button has an RC5 control code associated with it.

You can use these codes to program a third-party, “universal” remote control unit to work with the DHD Controller. These third-party products usually come with a computer software application for this purpose. For more information, consult the documentation provided with the remote control unit.

➤

• Each code consists of 14 bits:

• Two (2) start bits (always 1);

•A toggle bit. This bit is inverted every time a key is released and pressed again. This allows the DHD Controller to distinguish between a button that remains down or is pressed repeatedly.

• Five (5) address bits. The default address is 17 (binary 10001). To change it, select Remote Control from the Service menu and follow the steps given on page 54.

• Six (6) data bits.

• The carrier frequency is 36 kHz, with the modulated pulses having a 25% duty cycle.

• Commands are sent at a maximum rate of 9 Hz.

For example, here is the RC5 control code for the ON button on the DHD Controller remote control unit (assuming the default address is used):
