Picture Use the controls in the Picture Menu to calibrate your VX-2 for optimum picture quality.
The VX-2 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. Runco recommends calibrating the inputs in this order:
1. Component SD
2. S-Video 1 / S-Video 2
3. Composite
4. HD/RGB 1 / HD/RGB 2
5. DVI 1 / DVI 2
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, Digital Video Essentials or AVIA 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 4-3 shows a typical PLUGE
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
ISF Presets on page 46.
