Integrating Runco's award-winning controller/processor technology for flawless images
from any source, the Q-750d sets new standards in projection with Runco's
game-changing InfiniLight™ LED lampless technology, Personal Color Equalizer and
Runco SmartColor.
1.3
Description, Features
and Benefits
Runco's revolutionary QuantumColor™ projectors pair energy-saving LED technology
with proprietary Runco engineering to create unsurpassed performance and unrivaled
customization. The Runco QuantumColor Q-750d maximizes the benefits of Runco's new
InfiniLight™ lampless LED illumination technology to provide an infinite light source that
creates an energy-efficient projector with the widest color gamut ever available in home
theater projection.
The Q-750d comes with an external, all-digital signal processor/controller/scaler featuring
advanced Vivix III™ video processing, superb scaling (up to 1080p) and aspect ratio
control. The Q-750d is enhanced further by significant horizontal and vertical lens shift
capability for maximum installation flexibility.
But simply creating a projector platform with lampless technology and the largest color
gamut isn't enough. Harnessing its incredible color options, Runco introduces its
revolutionary new Personal Color Equalizer™, which allows color adjustment that includes
those exactly defined by the cinematographer and the color preferences of each individual
viewer for each source. Proprietary Runco Smart Color (RSC™) provides a hue
compensation curve and gamut mapping that allows for lifelike, accurate flesh tones while
increasing color saturation, without sacrificing the purity of other colors.
In addition to Runco's proprietary InfiniLight, Personal Color Equalizer and Runco Smart
Color, the Q-750d can also be paired with Runco’s award-winning CineWide™ and
CineWide with AutoScope™ technology. CineWide provides uncompromised widescreen
reproduction of movies originally filmed in the CinemaScope™ 2:35:1 format. It maintains
constant vertical height on the screen just as in a movie theater. When a viewer transitions
from 1.78:1 (16:9) program material to superwide 2.35:1, the image simply gets wider
while full screen height is maintained, eliminating useless black bars on the top and
bottom of the screen.
Runco CineWide is achieved through Runco's ingenious combination of software,
electronics and precision anamorphic optics. With Runco CineWide, the projection
system is able to use the full pixel array, thereby producing a 2.35:1 image with enhanced
resolution and increased brightness. No resolution or image area is lost to those black
bars that contain no picture information. CineWide with AutoScope provides a motorized,
remote-controlled anamorphic lens mechanism.
CineWide requires the use of a 2.35:1 or similar aspect ratio superwide
format screen.
Note
Discrete IR and RS-232 control make custom installation seamless, while discrete source
and aspect ratio selection accommodate any automation control system.

Ambient Light
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.

➤
Throw Distance
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
roughly how far back the projector should be positioned from the screen in order to
project a focused image large enough to fill the screen.

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 3-2.

Vertical Lens Shift (Standard Q-750d): The Q-750d provides up to 60% of vertical
lens shift up or down. For example, with a 100 x 56 inch (1.78:1) screen, you can shift
the image up to 33.60 inches (0.85 meters) above or below the screen center.
Vertical Lens Shift (Q-750d/CineWide or Q-750d/CineWide with AutoScope): The
Q-750d provides up to 25% of upward vertical lens shift and up to 60% of
downward vertical lens shift. For example, with a 100 x 56 inch (1.78:1) screen, you
can shift the image up to 14.00 inches (0.36 meters) above or 33.60 inches (0.85 meters)
below the screen center.
Vertical lens shift figures are for ceiling mount
configurations. For floor installations (where the projector is

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.
➤
Most mainstream audio receiver/switchers have the ability to synchronize the audio and
video to the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) prescribed tolerances.
According to the ATSC, the sound program should never lead the video program by more
than 15 milliseconds, and should never lag behind the video program by more than 45
milliseconds.
In addition, many video displays and A/V receivers introduce additional latency that needs
audio latency given different signal input timings.

Other considerations and tips that can help improve your installation:
Other Considerations
• Keep the ambient temperature constant and below 35°C (95°F). Keep the projector
away from heating and/or air conditioning vents. Changes in temperature may cause
drifts in the projector circuitry, which may affect performance.
• Keep the projector away from devices that radiate electromagnetic energy such as
motors and transformers. Common sources of these include slide projectors,
speakers, power amplifiers and elevators.

installation, one method may be more suitable than another.
3.5
Mounting the Q-750d
Floor Mounting (Upright)
In typical front and rear screen installations, the projector can be mounted to a secure and
level surface such as a table or cart. Carts are useful when moving a projector during a
presentation or from site to site. If possible, lock the wheels when it’s in position to prevent
it from being moved during a presentation.
➤
Ceiling Mounting
(Inverted)
For fixed installations, and for those that want the projector out of sight or have a limited
space for projector and audience, you can invert the Q-750d and suspend it from the
ceiling using a specially-designed ceiling mount fixture.
➤
Use only the Runco-approved ceiling mount kit designed for your
projector. Install the mount kit according to the instructions
provided with it.
Note
The projector can also be inverted and placed in an enclosure above and behind the
viewing area. Install four feet on the inside bottom surface of the enclosure on which the
projector can rest. A variety of materials can be used for this purpose (for example, rubber
crutch tips or turntable feet).
Adjusting the Projection
Angle
If the Q-750d is ceiling-mounted and the screen is significantly lower than the projector,
you can tilt the projector at a slight angle by adjusting the ceiling mount.
➤
If you do this, you may need to shift the image using the on-screen display (OSD) controls,

Configure Lens Motor Trigger (Q-750d/CineWide with AutoScope only): CineWide
with AutoScope maintains constant image height independent of the aspect ratio, while
using the full display resolution of the projector. It accomplishes this by moving the
anamorphic lens in front of the primary lens when widescreen material is being viewed.
When the viewer transitions back to 16:9 or 4:3 source material, the anamorphic lens
moves out of the light path.
To configure the lens motor trigger on the DHD Controller for proper AutoScope
operation:
1. Project a 2.35:1 aspect ratio test pattern or other image on the screen.
2. On the DHD Controller remote control or front panel, press MENU.
3. Select Service from the Main Menu and enter the Service Menu passcode.
You must enter a passcode to access the Service menu for the first
time after turning on the system.
Note
4. Select Triggers from the Service menu.
5. Assign the trigger output to which the lens motor is connected to the Cinema and
Virtual Cinema aspect ratios. This enables the lens motor to move the anamorphic
lens into position (in front of the primary lens) when either aspect ratio is selected.
6. Select the Cinema aspect ratio to move the anamorphic lens into position, if it isn’t
or press
or
repeatedly with no menus visible on-screen.
Adjusting the Horizontal (X) Lens Position:
1. Project a white field on the screen.
2. Loosen the Yaw/X-Adjustment Levers underneath the lens.
3. Slowly move the anamorphic lens into place (from right to left or vice versa) so that
there are no shadows on either side of the screen:
Too Far Left
Correct position
Too Far Right
4. When the horizontal position is properly set, tighten the Yaw/X-Adjustment Levers to
secure the lens in place.

Adjusting the Height (Y): With the white field still on-screen, loosen the
Height/Y Adjustment T-Screws on either side of the lens. Then, slowly move the
anamorphic lens into place so that there are no shadows on the top or bottom of the
screen:
Too Low
Correct position
Too High
When the height is properly set, tighten the Height Adjustment T-Screws to secure the
lens in place.
Adjusting the Pitch (Angle): Next, angle the lens to even out any top-to-bottom
pincushion distortion. To do this, loosen the Pitch Adjustment T-Screws (directly below
the Height/Y Adjustment T-Screws) on either side of the lens to allow it to pivot freely.
Then, adjust the anamorphic lens angle so that the projected image is rectangular:
Correct Lens Angle
Incorrect Lens Angle
The anamorphic lens will almost always be angled with respect to the projector; this is
normal.
Once the proper lens angle has been set, firmly tighten the Pitch Adjustment T-Screws to
secure the lens in place.
There may be some pincushion distortion even after the lens is
Note
properly adjusted, especially at shorter throw distances. If this is the
case, Runco recommends that you slightly over-scan the image
into the screen frame area to mask the distortion.

• The aspect ratio of the source material, as broadcast or encoded on the playback
medium.
• The “display type” (16:9 or 4:3) and output resolution settings at the source

Picture
The DHD Controller 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.
1. When you change a picture quality setting, save the change to a
Note
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,
2. For best results, Runco recommends that you set
ConstantContrast to Off before adjusting Brightness, Contrast
and other image quality settings in this menu (refer to
ConstantContrast on page 62). After you have completed the
initial calibration, set ConstantContrast to On if desired.
Although it may be possible to obtain satisfactory picture quality using the naked eye and
regular program material, Runco recommends using an external test pattern source
(Ovation Multimedia, Digital Video Essentials or AVIA test DVD or equivalent) for best
results.
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
pattern.

PLUGE patterns vary but generally consist of some combination of black, white and gray
areas against a black background. The example above includes two vertical bars and four
shaded boxes.
Select Brightness from the Picture menu and press ENTER. Adjust the brightness so that:
• The darkest black bars disappear into the background.
• The dark gray areas are barely visible.
• The lighter gray areas are clearly visible.
• The white areas are a comfortable level of true white.
• The image contains only black, gray and white (no color).
Contrast: On your external test pattern source, select a stepped, gray-bar pattern like the
one shown in Figure 4-3.

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.

Overscan/Overscan Mode: 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.
For HDTV, DVDs and other video sources, Overscan is generally not necessary or
desirable.
This control defines the amount of overscan applied to the image. The range is from
0 to 20. There are two overscan modes:
• In Crop mode, each increment adds a mask at the top, bottom, left and right edges of
the source image equal to 0.5% of the displayed horizontal resolution (1% total). A
setting of 10, for example, crops the image 5% on all sides or 10% total.
• In Zoom mode, each increment adds a factor to the scaling of the source image so
that the vertical and horizontal resolutions are 100% plus 1% increments of the size
determined by the aspect ratio function. A setting of 10, for example, zooms in on the
image 5% on all sides or 10% total.
Figure 4-6 illustrates the effect of each overscan mode setting.

Phase (RGB, Component or SCART sources): This control adjusts the phase of the
pixel sampling clock relative to the incoming signal. Adjust the phase when an RGB,
Component or SCART image still shows shimmer or “noise” after Tracking has been
optimized.
Adjust the Phase after adjusting Tracking (see below).
Tip
For best results, use a good test pattern such as a smooth gray consisting of a clear
pattern of black and white pixels, or a similar “half on, half off” graphic image. Adjust the
slidebar until the image stabilizes and each pixel is clearly defined. You may notice that
you can stabilize the image at more than one point. Use either setting in such cases.
Tracking (RGB, Component or SCART sources): Tracking determines the frequency
of the pixel sampling clock, indicated by the number of incoming pixels per line, so that all
pixels generated by a particular source are sampled.
Steady flickering or several soft vertical stripes or bands across the entire image indicates
poor pixel tracking. Proper pixel tracking helps ensure that the image quality is consistent
across the screen, that aspect ratio is maintained and that pixel phase (see above) can be
optimized.
Memory Presets
For each input, the DHD Controller lets you save image quality settings as presets that you
can recall at a later time. You can create up to four presets per input and display mode
(resolution and frame rate).

17. You can change this setting if either:
• Another device in the theater (a DVD player, for example) is responding to
unpredictable or undesirable.
• You have multiple DHD Controllers and want to control them independently, as
opposed to broadcasting commands from a single remote to all of them. In this
scenario, you can use multiple remotes programmed to use different IR codes. Or,
you can use a single remote and change the IR code as needed to address a
specific DHD Controller.
Use the DHD Controller front-panel keypad to change the IR code to
which the controller will respond. Then, change the code sent by the
remote to match as described below.
Tip
When you change a remote code on the DHD Controller, you must re-program the
DHD Controller remote control to send that same code. To do this:
1. Press and hold the LIGHT button on the
remote control for approximately three
seconds, or until the LED on the remote lights

2. Enter a new two-digit code between 00 and 31
inclusive. Include a leading zero for single-digit
codes; for example, enter 9 as “09.”
3. The LED turns off to confirm the code change. If you enter an invalid code, the LED
flashes for three or four seconds. Try again, entering a valid code.

• HDMI: If the Auxiliary Video Information (AVI) infoframe contains color space and/or
range data, the DHD Controller uses that information. Otherwise, for RGB sources,
the DHD Controller uses the RGB-Video color space. For component SDTV and
EDTV resolutions, REC601 is used. For other component video resolutions,
REC709 is used.
• RGB: If Hsync or Vsync signals are present, the DHD Controller uses the RGB-PC
color space. Otherwise, REC601 is used for SDTV and EDTV sources, and REC709
for all other sources.
• Component: For SDTV and EDTV resolutions, the DHD Controller uses the
REC601 color space. For all other resolutions, REC709 is used.
In most cases, the Auto setting determines the correct color space to use. If it does not,
you can force the DHD Controller to use a specific color space. Choose one of the
following:
• REC709 sets the color space matrix to that defined in ITU-R BT.709.
• REC601 sets the color space matrix to that defined in ITU-R BT.601.
• RGB-PC uses RGB color space and sets black at 0,0,0 RGB and white at
255,255,255 RGB, assuming an 8-bit image.
• RGB-Video uses RGB color space and sets black at 16,16,16 RGB and white at
235,235,235, assuming an 8-bit image, to correspond to the luminance values defined
in digital component standards.
Triggers: Select Triggers from the Service menu to configure the 12-volt trigger outputs.
You can assign one or more trigger outputs to each aspect ratio. Those triggers are then
activated by selecting that aspect ratio.
With a Q-750d/CineWide with AutoScope, assign at least one trigger output (the same
one to which the lens motor is connected) to the Cinema and Virtual Cinema aspect
ratios.

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, Français, Deutsch, Italiano,
Español, Svenska, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Português or Russian).
• OSD Timer: Select OSD Timer from the Miscellaneous menu to set the OSD Timer,
which controls how long the menus remain on-screen after selecting them. Select from
5 to 60 seconds, in one-second increments. Or, set the timer to 0 (disabled) if you want
the menus to remain on-screen indefinitely.
• OSD Messages: When you select a new aspect ratio, input source or memory preset,
the DHD Controller briefly displays an on-screen message confirming your new
selection. To prevent the display of these messages, select OSD Messages from the
Miscellaneous menu to and set it to Off.
• Blank Screen Color: Select Blank Screen Color from the Miscellaneous menu to
select the color that appears when no incoming signal is present. The range is from 0
to 255 inclusive for each color component (red, green and blue).
• Sidebar Color: Select Sidebar Color from the Miscellaneous menu to change the
color of the inactive image area. The range is from 0 to 255 inclusive for each color
component (red, green and blue). The inactive image area is on either side of the active
image area when using the 4:3 aspect ratio.
• Film Mode: Use Film Mode to smooth out moving images from interlaced,
standard-definition (SD) sources. In most cases, the DHD Controller detects the proper
“pull-down” rate and vertical frequency. However, if your source is jittery and/or tearing
you may want to enable Film Mode to ensure stable processing for that source.
• 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.
Sync Threshold: Select Sync Threshold to adjust the threshold at which negative pulses
on the component video green/luma channel are interpreted to be sync pulses.
Sync Threshold adjustment is occasionally necessary when a DVD player or HDTV source
signal drops “below black” (for example, during scenes with explosions or when subtitles
are present) and causes the projector to temporarily lose sync. If the sync level from the
source is persistently too low, the display device won’t sync with the source at all.
The range is from 0 (approximately 60 millivolts (mV)) to 15 (approximately 256 mV).
HDMI EDID Extension: Extended display identification data (EDID) is a data structure
provided by a display device to describe its capabilities to a graphics card. It is what
enables a modern personal computer to know what kind of monitor is connected.
Some modern display devices provide more information via EDID than others, in the form
of “extensions.” Some computer graphics cards do recognize or properly interpret this
extended EDID information.
Select HDMI EDID Extension from the Service menu to specify whether or not the EDID
extensions from the display device are passed through to the sources connected to the
HDMI 1 or HDMI 2 inputs. By default, the extensions are on. Change these settings only if
HDMI EDID incompatibility issues arise.

6. External Control
In addition to using the DHD Controller front-panel keypad or remote control unit, there
are two methods of controlling the Q-750d 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.
The following sections describe both of these methods.
The DHD Controller uses a simple text-based control protocol to take requests from
control devices and to provide responses to such devices. This section describes how to
send control messages over a serial link between the DHD Controller and an
automation/control system or a PC running terminal emulation software.
6.1
Serial Communications
To interface the Q-750d with an automation/control system or a PC running terminal
emulation software, connect it to the Display Control output of the DHD Controller as
input of the DHD Controller as shown in Figure 3-17.
RS-232 Connection and
Port Configuration
Configure the RS-232 controller or PC serial port as follows: no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop
bit and no flow control. Set the baud rate to 19200, to match that of the DHD Controller
RS-232 port.
Serial commands to the DHD Controller take the following form:
• Commands are not case-sensitive.
Serial Command Syntax
• For a single command that takes no parameters, type the command followed by a
carriage return; for example, to set the aspect ratio to Letterbox, type
LETTERBOX <Enter>.
• For a single command that takes a parameter, type the command, a space or a
comma and the desired value followed by a carriage return; for example, to set the
brightness to -10, type BRIGHTNESS -10 <Enter> or
BRIGHTNESS,-10 <Enter>.
• You can also send a string of multiple commands on a single line, separated by
commas. For example, COMPOSITE,BRIGHTNESS 50,16:9 <Enter> switches to
the Composite video input, sets the brightness to 50 and sets the aspect ratio to 16:9.
Command strings can be up to 255 characters long.
Avoid combining the ONor POWER 1commands with other commands
Note
on a single line. After sending ONor POWER 1, allow at least five (5)
seconds for the DHD Controller to power up. If you have enabled the
seconds for the DHD Controller to power up.
Once it does, it will accept and properly execute multiple serial
commands.

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 (- >).

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.
6.2
Using Discrete IR
Codes
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. For more information, consult the documentation
provided with the remote control unit.
IR Command Protocol
The IR control codes have the following characteristics:
• Each code consists of 14 bits:
➤
• Two (2) start bits (always 1);
• A toggle bit. This bit is inverted every time a key is released and pressed again. This
enables the DHD Controller to distinguish between a button that remains down and
one that is pressed repeatedly.
• Five (5) address bits. The default address is 17 (binary 10001). To change it, select
• Six (6) data bits.
• The carrier frequency is 36 kHz, with the modulated pulses having a 25% duty cycle.
• Commands are sent at a maximum rate of 9 Hz.
For example, here is the RC5 control code for the ON button on the DHD Controller
remote control unit (assuming the default address is used):

Cinema Standards Measurement System (CSMS)
Specifications
-
-
Brightness: 29 foot-Lamberts (fL)
Contrast Ratio: 330:1
These measurements are taken from the projector in a controlled,
home theater environment. All measurements are made to
ANSI/NAPM IT7.228-1997 specifications using the Photo Research
PR-650 SpectraColorimeter and Minolta LS-100 Luminance Meter,
Video Essentials test DVD and a 1.3 gain, 72-inch wide screen. The
projector is calibrated to a color temperature of 6,500K and has a
minimum of 150 hours of usage.
The foot-Lambert (fL) is the unit of measurement used in commercial
movie theaters to express image brightness at the screen surface. The
Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) specifies
16 fL as the target image brightness for film-based projectors using an
open gate (without film in the projector). More importantly, today
SMPTE specifies 12 fL as the target image brightness in Digital
Cinema theaters. The foot-Lambert measurement is dependent on
screen size, screen gain and projector light output.
Home Theater Calibration Specifications
-
-
Light Output: 450 ANSI Lumens
Contrast Ratio: 330:1
These specifications are obtained by calibrating the projector as
described above for CSMS measurements.
Industry-Standard Specifications
-
-
Light Output: 700 ANSI Lumens
Contrast Ratio: 3 settings (Infinity:1, 20,000:1, 10,000:1
(sequential))
ColorContrast™
Colors have up to 50% higher contrast than Mercury or Xenon
lamp systems.
These are typical projector brightness and contrast specifications
found in most companies’ sales literature. Runco includes these
measurements in its literature to allow for direct comparison with other
manufacturers’ projectors. These measurements are typically taken at
9,000K to 13,000K to get expected performance data when the
projector is used in professional, commercial and industrial displays.
