Installation Table 3-1 gives a quick overview of the VX-4000d/VX-5000d installation process. The sections following this one provide detailed instructions. Note Installation should be performed by a qualified custom video installation specialist. For Details, Refer to page... Procedure EL IM IN A R Step Y Table 3-1.
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. Advantages Y Table 3-2.
Installation 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 3-2.
Installation Table 3-3. VX-4000d Lens Options and Throw Ratios (continued) Throw Ratio (Throw Dist. ÷ Screen Width) Lens Option (Note 2) Throw Distance Range (in inches, with 100-inch Wide Screen) Minimum Maximum Proteus F 3.63 - 5.72 363 572 Proteus F with CineWide 2.75 - 4.33 275 433 Notes: Y 1. Throw distance does not affect image quality, provided these ranges are taken into account. EL IM IN A R 2.
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 and screen center are aligned with each other, as shown in Figure 3-3.
Installation 150% Width Lens Shift (1.5 x W) 100% Width Lens Shift (1.0 x W) 50% Width Lens Shift (0.5 x W) Screen Center Screen Width (W) EL IM IN A R Y 0% PR Note: This is a general example of lens shift. Lenses vary in their shift capabilities. No particular lens is used in this example. Figure 3-5. Horizontal Lens Shift Vertical Lens Shift - VX-4000d: The VX-4000d zoom lenses (Proteus B through F) provide up to 50% of vertical lens shift in either direction.
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.
Installation 3.5 Mounting the VX-4000d/VX-5000d There are several methods for mounting the projector. Depending on your chosen installation, one method may be more suitable than another. The projector can also be inverted and suspended from the ceiling using a specially designed ceiling mount fixture. This type of mounting is recommended for fixed installations and for those that want the projector out of sight or have a limited space for projector and audience.
Installation Connect the DVI, RGBHV and RS-232 outputs of the DHD Controller to the corresponding inputs of the VX-4000d/VX-5000d; see Figure 3-7.
Installation Connecting Source ➤ Components to the DHD Controller Connect your video sources to the DHD Controller as shown and described in the sections that follow. DVI Connections: See Figure 3-8. Use the DVI inputs whenever possible. This ensures the highest video quality because the signal is carried in the digital domain throughout the entire signal path, from source component output into the projector.

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 -- 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.
Operation EL IM IN A R Y Contrast: On your external test pattern source, select a stepped, gray-bar pattern like the one shown in Figure 4-4. Figure 4-4. Typical Gray Bar Pattern for Adjusting Contrast Select Contrast and press ENTER. Adjust the contrast to a point just below which the white rectangle starts to increase in size. Brightness and contrast controls are interactive. A change to one may require a subtle change to the other in order to achieve the optimum setting.
Operation blue red EL IM IN A R Y magenta green cyan yellow gray Select Color and press ENTER. While looking at the color bar pattern through a blue filter, adjust the color saturation level until the outermost (gray and blue) color bars appear to be a single shade of blue: Tint: Tint or “hue” is essentially the ratio of red to green in the color portion of the image. When tint is decreased, the image appears redder; when it is increased the image appears greener.
Operation EL IM IN A R Y Sharpness: “Sharpness” is the amount of high-frequency detail in the image. To adjust sharpness, select Sharpness from the Picture menu and press ENTER. On your external test pattern source, select a pattern like the one shown in Figure 4-6. Adjust as needed, looking for white edges around the transitions from black to gray and differently-sized lines in the “sweep” patterns at the top and bottom. Lower the sharpness setting to eliminate them. Figure 4-6.
Operation Overscan: Image Overscan pushes the outside edge of the active picture area of the video signal out beyond the edge of the display area. Some television programs are produced based on the assumption that older television sets may not display the outer edges of the broadcast picture area. Overscan effectively trims away these inactive, outer edges and enlarges the remaining portion of the image to fill the display area. Select from 1% to 10% of Overscan, as desired.
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 Night Display Color Input Image Input Color To recall the ISF Night or ISF Day settings, select “ISF Night” or “ISF Day” from the ISF Presets menu (see above).
Operation ISF Night - Input Color: The Input Color controls are similar to those in the Display Color menu (see above), but can be set independently for each input. • Gain/Offset: Refer to ISF Night - Display Color, above. • Chroma Delay: use the Chroma Delay control to correct a mis-aligned image from a Composite, S-Video or Component video source. Chroma delay in an image causes color shifts to occur to the left of the vertical edge transitions, producing artificial shadows or a “halo” effect.
Operation Use the Service menu to access advanced projector 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. Test Video Input Names Remote Control Analog Out Mode Display Device Press MENU to exit test pattern mode. Miscellaneous EL IM IN A R Y Test Video: Select Test Video from the Service Menu to access the internal test patterns on the VX-4000d/VX-5000d.
Operation Use the DHD Controller front-panel keypad to change the projector IR code. Then, change the code sent by the remote to match as described below. Tip When you change a remote code on the VX-4000d/VX-5000d, you must re-program the standard DHD remote control to send that same code. To do this: 1. Using a straightened paper clip or similar object, press and hold the CODE button on the remote control for approximately three seconds, or until the red LED on the remote lights solid red. Y 2.
Operation • Lamp Hours: This menu page also displays the number of hours that the lamp has been in service, and lets you reset the counter (which is recommended after you replace the lamp; refer to Lamp Replacement on page 55). HD Format: If the characteristics of the incoming signal on the HD1 or HD2 inputs are known, select HD Format from the Service menu and set them as described below. Doing so can reduce the time it takes the DHD Controller to switch from HD to 480i signals or vice versa.
Operation Miscellaneous: Select Miscellaneous from the Service menu to set the following options: • Language: Select Language from the Miscellaneous menu and press the up- or down-arrows to select the OSD Language (English, French, Spanish or German). • Menu Mode: This is the manner in which the OSD menus appear and disappear when you press MENU. Choose one of the following: 0 = No transition; menus abruptly appear and disappear. 1 = Menus fade in and out.
5. Maintenance and Troubleshooting The lamp should be replaced when it reaches the end of its life (typically 2000 hours), or sooner if a noticeable degradation in brightness occurs. Contact your Runco dealer to obtain a replacement lamp. Y 1. Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord. Allow the projector to cool down for approximately 45 minutes prior to removing the lamp assembly for replacement. EL IM IN A R 2.
