Installation Audio/Video ➤ 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.
Installation Here are some other considerations and tips that can help improve your installation, avoid 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.
Installation 3.4 Connections to the PlasmaWall and DHD Controller Proceed as follows to connect the PlasmaWall to the DHD Controller, your video sources, external controller(s) – if present – and AC power. When connecting your equipment: • Turn off all equipment before making any connections. • Use the correct signal cables for each source. • Ensure that the cables are securely connected. Tighten the thumbscrews on connectors that have them.
Installation Digital Video Connection: The PlasmaWall has a dual HDMI input board, labeled HDMI (SLOT 2). Connect the HDMI output from the DHD Controller to input “A” on this board, using an HDMI-to-HDMI cable.

Operation Use the Calibration menu to perform advanced picture quality adjustments. This menu should be used by ISF-certified technicians only. Calibration Calibration Note You must enter a passcode to access the Calibration menu. ISF Settings Display Color Input Image To recall the ISF Night or ISF Day settings, select “ISF Night” or “ISF Day” from the Memory Presets menu (see page 47) or use the corresponding remote control buttons.
Operation • Color Temp: Select Color Temp from the Display Color menu to adjust the color temperature. Color temperature establishes the “color of gray” by adjusting the 75% white point to various color points. What are “color points?” A “color point” is an x/y coordinate pair that defines a color’s location on the standard CIE chromaticity graph, shown in Figure 4-7.
Operation • Black Level: Select Black Level from the Display Color menu to adjust the black level “floor” (lower limit). If blacks appear too gray, set Black Level to a higher value. • Input Level: Select Input Level from the Display Color menu to adjust the overall, apparent brightness of the displayed image. Its effect is similar to a backlight control on an LCD. If parts of the image are extremely bright and hard to see, lower the Input Level to compensate.
Operation Copy Settings Copy/Paste: You can copy and paste settings from one memory location to another. This gives you a convenient starting point for creating a new preset based on an existing one, to make the calibration process less time-consuming. Paste Settings For example, you can use the Copy/Paste feature to: Copy/Paste • Apply settings from HDMI 1 to HDMI 2, or from HD1 to HD2. Copied From: • Calibrate an input for 720p source signals, then use those settings for 1080i sources.
Operation OSD Position: To adjust the position of the OSD, select OSD Position from the Calibration menu and press ENTER. Press or to select “Hor.” or “Ver.” Then, press or to change the position. Use the Service menu to access advanced display configuration settings. This menu should be used by ISF-certified technicians only. Service Service Note You must enter a passcode to access the Service menu.
Operation Remote Control: Select Remote Control from the Service menu to change the following settings related to remote control operation. • Remote Code: Select Remote Code from the Remote Control menu to set the infrared (IR) code set to which the PlasmaWall will respond. By default, it is set to 17.
Operation 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.
Operation • 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 CUE to On to correct this issue.
Operation System Reset: To reset ALL controller settings (including image settings) back to their factory defaults, choose System Reset from the Service menu. A confirmation message appears. Select Yes to continue with the reset or select No to cancel. This action is not undoable. Proceed with caution! Before you perform a System Reset, save your “Custom” Memory Presets (page 47) and ISF Day/Night Memory Presets (page 51).

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. EL IM IN A R Y The following sections describe both of these methods.
External Control 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 (- >). Table 6-1.
External Control Table 6-1.
External Control Table 6-1.
External Control Table 6-1.
External Control 6.2 Using Discrete IR Codes 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.
