Introduction  
The new VX-1000d is one of the flagships of Runco International's 3rd Generation of DLPfront pro-  
jectors. Some of the GEN 3 features include Reflectance Volume Regulation (RVR), digital video input  
with HDCP, 9 point Color Balance, and the latest ultra-high contrast 16:9 DMD (Digital Micro-Mirror  
Device) from Texas Instruments™. The Reflectance Volume Regulation (RVR) allows adjustable iris  
control of contrast ratio versus light output for the best imaging performance in any viewing environment.  
The digital video input with HDCP allows for the signal to stay digital through the entire signal path. 9-  
point color balance, finely adjusts color balance for better gray scale tracking than any other consumer  
DLP. The latest DMD produces an exceptionally high contrast ratio for high light output and better black  
level than film. The VX-1000d projector system also includes the DHDDigital Controller for convert-  
ing all NTSC or PAL signals to the native resolution of the projector for viewing in various formats. For  
added flexibility, electronic keystone correction and vertical lens shift provide any needed leeway when  
installing within confined quarters.

While there are many different ways to connect your source equipment to your DHD Controller,  
the examples shown above are the most common.  
ANALOG INPUTS:  
• Composite Video Input  
Composite video is the most common type of signal used, but is also the lowest in picture quality. Many sources  
have outputs that are limited to composite video, such as some VCR’s and camcorders; others such as Laser Disc  
players actually produce slightly better results when using composite video.  
• S-Video Input  
S-video is the second-best type of signal that can be used, but is MUCH better than composite video. Using such  
sources as Satellite receivers, high-quality VCRs and DVD players (with no component output) will produce a  
MUCH cleaner and sharper signal.  
• Component Input  
Component video is the best type of signal that can be used. The most common sources that use component out-  
puts are DVD players, and it is highly recommended that component be used when possible. Component video  
goes one step beyond S-video in picture quality; chroma (color) information is more resolved and the overall pic-  
ture appears more well-defined. (be sure to shut off progressive scan on your DVD player)  
• HD1 / HD2  
These are High Definition Analog inputs to connect the outputs of high definition sources such as HD tuners and  
set top boxes, HD satellite receivers, etc. These inputs will accept signals as RGB, RGBHV or Component Video  
(YPrPb).  
14  
 
DIGITAL INPUTS:  
• DVI 1 / DVI 2  
These are High Definition Digital inputs. Runco recommends using these digital inputs whenever possible. Using  
the DVI 1 and DVI 2 inputs ensures the highest video quality because the signal is carried in the digital domain  
throughout the entire signal path, from source component output, through the DHD and finally into the projector.  
This maintains maximum signal purity.  
Use these inputs to connect Digital High Definition sources that have a DVI output, such as HD tuners and set top  
boxes, satellite receivers, DVD players, etc.  
PROJECTOR CONFIGURATION  
Now that your DHD Controller has been installed, it’s time to get it configured for use in your system. The VX-  
1000d/DHD is defaulted for RGBHV interface between the DHD controller and the VX-1000d projector. Superior  
picture quality will be obtained if you connect the two units together with a DVI cable. Please follow the proce-  
dures and recommendations below:  
Changing from RGBHV to DVI output: Connect the controller and projector with RGBHV and follow the steps list-  
ed below on the projected OSD (on-screen display) or use the procedure using the florescent display on the con-  
troller.  
1. First, connect all sources (DVD, VCR, Satellite receiver, etc.) to the DHD, if this has not already been done.  
Also, ensure all sources are ON and functioning, if possible.  
2. Connect the phone line (RJ-11) between Projector and controller.  
3. Press MENU and ENTER at the same time, this enables service mode.  
4. Press Up Arrow once, display should read SERVICE.  
5. Press ENTER.  
6. Press Down Arrow four times, display should say DISPLAY DEVICE.  
7. Press ENTER.  
8. Display should now say CONFIGURE.  
9. Press ENTER.  
10. Use Left or Right Arrow to select Input 2 for DVI input.  
11. Press ENTER. Projector should now be set for DVI input.  
ISF Calibration  
The VX-1000d/DHD system 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 there is a need to calibrate each and every input sepa-  
rately.  
When beginning calibration of the DHD, it is imperative that at least one of the analog SD inputs (S-Video or RCA  
Component) be calibrated first. In doing this, the projector is calibrated to the controller. After one of the SD inputs  
is calibrated, calibration of the HD analog or DVI sections can follow.  
Once the initial settings have been completed, the “front panel display” (color, tint, sharpness, etc.) can be adjust-  
ed for each aspect ratio. The calibration procedures for these adjustments are outlined in “picture quality adjust-  
ments”.

Overall Functional Description  
The VX-1000d system consists of the VX-1000d Projector and DHD Controller. This system is unique  
in the way it is controlled; the control center for this system is located within the DHD Controller. The  
DHD Controller tells the Projector to turn on or off, controls its brightness, contrast, color temperature  
and more. All of this is accomplished by Runco's unique ComLink, which is the transfer of information  
between the DHD Controller and the Projector via their ComLink ports on a CAT5 cable (or similar) with  
RJ-11 ends. Therefore, only the DHD Controller's remote control is necessary to control all aspects of  
this system.  
Besides being the system's control center, the DHD Controller is also a high-quality scaler, which  
outputs all signals in the native resolution of the VX-1000d Projector. The Composite, S-Video and  
Component (non-progressive) signals are sent through the DHD Controller's 10-bit decoder, de-inter-  
laced, then scaled to the native resolution of the Projector. In the case of HDTV or progressive DVD sig-  
nals, these are input to the RGB/Component port. However, we strongly recommend that progressive  
scan DVD players be set to the “Interlaced” mode. This will allow the DHD’s superior de-interlacing to  
convert the signal to progressive scan for optimal picture quality.  
In the next chapter, the menu system will be described in detail. There are many adjustments  
available to perfect the VX-1000d's image, including typical 'front-panel controls' as well as color  
temperature and other image-quality controls.

To select a source via the main menu, press either the up or down buttons  
on the remote or front panel and highlight the desired source, and press  
ENTER. Otherwise, you may select a source by pressing either the left or  
right arrow buttons (on the remote or front panel) when no menus are  
on-screen, or by pressing one of the direct access buttons on the remote  
control (recommended).  
DVI 2  
HD Pass Thru 1  
HD Pass Thru 2  
NOTE: If DVI input is used with HDCP content, RGBHV output is automatically disabled.  
This is in compliance with HDCP regulations.  
If pass-through is selected, note that no on-screen menus will be displayed since the signal is simply  
being 'looped' directly to the output. When pass-through is the selected source, pressing MENU will not  
automatically select the last selected input before Pass-through was selected. If you wish to choose  
another source, Runco recommends using the direct access buttons to select the desired source as  
opposed to pressing MENU.

Aspect Ratio provides selection of one of four aspect ratios: Anamorphic, Standard 4:3, Letterbox or  
VirtualWide. To select an aspect ratio via the main menu, press either the up and down buttons on the  
remote or front panel, highlight ASPECT RATIO and press ENTER. The aspect ratio menu will then  
appear with the four choices; highlight the desired aspect ratio with the up or down buttons and press  
ENTER. Otherwise, you may select an aspect ratio by pressing either the up or down arrow buttons (on  
the remote or front panel) when no menus are on-screen, or by pressing one of the direct access  
buttons on the remote control.

Picture quality adjustments are the controls that change different parameters of the image such as the  
amount of color, black level, etc. While these adjustments can be set to suit the needs of the user, there  
is a way to set these properly. This section will describe what each function does and how to adjust them  
properly.  
To access the picture quality adjustments, press MENU and over the cursor down to Picture (indicated  
by the green highlight) and press ENTER. The picture quality sub-menu will then appear.  
To make an adjustment to a particular function, highlight the function with the up or down arrow buttons  
and press ENTER. Once the function is on-screen (i.e. brightness), pressing the UP arrow button on the  
remote or front panel will increase the value of that function; pressing the DOWN arrow on the remote  
or front panel will decrease the value of that function.

While each of the picture quality adjustments can be set to suit the needs of the user, there is a  
'proper' way to set the adjustments. For setting TINT and COLOR, please refer to the color bar test  
pattern below.  
TINT (also known as 'hue') is essentially the ratio of red to green in the color portion of the image.  
If TINT is decreased, the image will appear redder, and increasing it will cause the image to appear  
greener. To set TINT properly, look at the color bar pattern through a blue filter (or mute the red and  
green outputs). Adjust TINT until the middle two tall color bars match the middle short color bars  
(see color bar drawing).  
COLOR (also known as 'saturation') increases or decreases the amount of color in the image. To set  
COLOR properly, look at the color bar pattern through a blue filter (or mute the red and green outputs).  
Adjust COLOR until the outer two tall color bars match the outer short color bars (see color bar  
drawing).  
Tall color bars  
Short color bars  
Tint  
Color  
BRIGHTNESS adjusts the black level of the image. To adjust this properly, adjust BRIGHTNESS until  
the 'below black' bar JUST disappears, but the 'above black' bar is still barely visible.  
NOTE: Some DVD players cannot pass the 'blacker than black' bar (they won't pass PLUGE), and that  
bar will never be visible. In a case like this, adjust the 'above black' bar until it is slightly brighter than  
the background that surrounds it.  
CONTRAST adjusts the white level of the image. For Fixed-pixel displays, adjust contrast until there is  
a distinct definition between the two brightest bars.  
NOTE: For best results, Runco recommends that CONTRAST be set to '0' or very close to it. (see  
below)  
For setting BRIGHTNESS  
use the pluge pattern:  
For setting CONTRAST  
use the 10 step gray scale:  
19  
 
SHARPNESS adjusts the amount of high-frequency detail in the image. This can be adjusted to the  
preference of the user. Keep in mind that when SHARPNESS is decreased, fine details in the image will  
become 'soft'; when it is increased, fine details will become sharper but will also make the picture appear  
'noisy' if adjusted too high.  
All the picture adjustments (contrast, brightness, color, tint and sharpness) must be saved man-  
ually to Custom 1 or Custom 2 under ISF presets menu. If not, all the picture adjustments will be  
whited out when ISF presets (ISF Night, ISF Day, Custom 1, Custom 2) are changed.
