Installation 3.3 Installation Considerations Proper installation of your projector will ensure the quality of your display. Whether you are installing a projector temporarily or permanently, you should take the following into account to ensure your projector performs optimally. Installation Type ➤ Choose the installation type that best suits your needs: front or rear screen, floor mount or inverted mount. Table 3-2 compares these various installation methods. Table 3-2.
Installation In general, minimize or eliminate light sources directed at the screen. Contrast ratio in your images will be noticeably reduced if light directly strikes the screen, 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. Ambient Light Throw distance is the distance measured from the front of the projector to the screen.
Installation Table 3-3 lists the available LS-10i Series lens options and their associated throw ratios. Table 3-3. LS-10i Lens Options and Throw Ratios (Note 1) Throw Ratio Lens Option with Primary Lens Only Throw Range in inches, with 96x54-inch (1.78:1) Screen Minimum Throw Range in Throw Ratio inches, with with Primary 126.9x54-inch (2.35:1) Lens and Screen Anamorphic Lens Maximum Minimum Maximum For rear-screen installations only. Contact Runco Technical Support for more information.
Installation Proper placement of the projector relative to the screen will yield a rectangular, perfectly-centered image that completely fills the screen. Vertical and Horizontal Position Ideally, the projector should be positioned perpendicular to the screen and in such a way that the lens center is aligned with either the top or bottom edge of the screen area, and centered horizontally. See Figure 3-3.
Installation 100% Width Lens Shift (1.0 x W) 50% Width Lens Shift (0.5 x W) Screen Center PR EL IM IN A R Y 0% Screen Width (W) Note: This is a general example of lens shift. Lenses vary in their shift capabilities. No particular lens or projector is used in this example. Figure 3-5. Horizontal Lens Shift (Example Only) Vertical Lens Shift: The LS-10i zoom lenses (Proteus 2 through 6) provide up to 65% of vertical lens shift in either direction (up or down).
Installation In rear-screen applications where space behind the projector is limited, a mirror may be used to fold the optical path, as shown in Figure 3-6. The position of the projector and mirror must be accurately set. If you are considering this type of installation, contact your dealer for assistance. Folded Optics Screen Figure 3-6.

External Control 6. External Control In addition to using the LS-10i remote control unit, there are three methods of controlling the projector 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. Y • Using an HDMI connection to send Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) commands from a BD player or other source component that supports CEC.
External Control Key Commands: The syntax for key commands is simple: ky [CR] Some key command examples: ky menu[CR] Bring up or cancel menu display. ky mem.sw[CR] Switch to next user memory. ky asp.16.9[CR] Apply 16:9 aspect ratio. The response from the projector for key commands will be the same command in UPPERCASE. Y Input: ky mem.sw[CR] EL IM IN A R Response: KY MEM.SW [CR] Table 6-1 lists the serial command key names and IR codes.

External Control Operations Commands: Operations commands allow more flexible and direct control of the projector. The syntax for operations commands is as follows: op [CR] (Precede and with a space.) The command type can be one of 5 functions: Operations Control Commands Command Action on unit = Makes the unit take that value. Get ? Asks what the current value is.
External Control The last three commands show what happens when a control is grayed out. In this case, the sharpness mode was set to advanced (value = 1) and then the simple sharpness slider was attempted to be adjusted and queried. The response was “NA” or not available. Table 6-2.

External Control RS-232 Error Codes ➤ If an errcode ? command returns one of the following values, you have encountered a likely system error requiring the attention of a qualified service technician. Try resetting the projector by powering it off, allowing it to cool and powering it on again. Refer to Table 6-3 and contact your dealer if the problem persists. The specific code number identifies the source of the error detected, and is particularly useful in cases where the projector is far away.
External Control The LS-10i accepts and can respond to CEC command messages from a disc player, satellite receiver or DVR/set-top box via an HDMI connection. Using CEC, the LS-10i can perform the following actions: 6.2 Using HDMI CEC Messages • Turn itself on and select the correct input when the source component initiates playback of a disc or recorded program. • Turn the source component on when you switch to its corresponding input on the LS-10i.
