Introduction

The CL-810 Series DLP Projectors offer the astounding picture quality and versatility heretofore associated with more expensive projectors. Their 1280 x 720 native resolution

DLP light engine features Runco's powerful SuperOnyx™ technology for bright, pristine high-definition images.

Contrast ratio and dynamic range extend to new heights with Runco's exclusive

Reflectance Volume Regulation™ (RVR), an electronically-controlled iris system.

The CL-810 is equipped with a precision optics package offering a power zoom control and a throw range of 1.80:1 to 2.43:1. The CL-810 Ultra provides even greater installation flexibility, with six lens options from which to choose offering throw distances ranging from

1.22:1 to 5.68:1. For rear-projection applications, a fixed, short-throw lens is also available with the CL-810 Ultra.

Y

The CL-810'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 CL-810 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 CL-810 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.

L

IMINAR

(2.35:1) format, the CL-810 can be equipped with Runco’s 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 CL-810 Ultra is CineWide with

AutoScope™, an enhanced, remote-controlled motorized version of CineWide.

PRE

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 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

CL-810 Throw Ratio: 1.80 to 2.43

Mounting the CL-810

There are several methods for mounting the projector. Depending on your chosen installation, one method may be more suitable than another.

Floor Mounting

Ceiling 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.

The projector can also be inverted and suspended from the ceiling using a

installations and for those that want the projector out of sight or have a limited space for projector and audience.

Note

Use only the Runco-approved ceiling mount kit designed for your projector. Install the mount kit according to the instructions provided with it.

Adjusting the Projector

Height or Projection Angle

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

Operation

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 -- Sencore VP401 Multimedia Video Generator, Ovation

Multimedia 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.

Brightness: On your external test pattern source, select a PLUGE pattern. (PLUGE is an

acronym for “Picture Line-Up Generation Equipment.”) Figure 4-2 shows a typical PLUGE

pattern.

• 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).

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

PRE

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 Color Temp.4/Store Color Temp.5: When you are finished adjusting the

Gamma, Gain and Offset, select Store Color Temp.4 or Store Color Temp.5 to store your settings. To recall them, set the Color Temperature to +4 or +5 in the Image

Adjustment menu (refer to

Picture Adjustment on page 33).

42 Runco CL-810 Series Owner’s Operating Manual

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.

Y

• 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.

RVR Adjust: Use the RVR Adjust control to increase or decrease the Reflectance Volume

Regulation setting. RVR lets you control the aperture or iris size (the physical opening through the lens; similar to an “f-stop” on a camera). Doing so allows you to optimize brightness and contrast according to the amount of ambient light in the viewing area.

Use a higher setting for rooms with lots of ambient light. Use a lower setting for more

“theater-like” viewing conditions (little or no ambient light).

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.

PRE

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.

Image Shift: The Image Shift menu allows you to precisely center the image on the screen. (These controls are available only with a 480i source signal.)

• You have multiple CL-810 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.

The Remote Control menu is read-only and need not be visible in order to change the secondary IR code.

Specifications

Table 7-1. CL-810 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

M

screen size, screen gain and projector light output.

Home Theater Calibration Specifications

INARY

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.
