provided for your safety. When the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for the replacement of  
the obsolete outlet.  
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles and the point  
where they exit from the apparatus.  
11. Only use the attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.  
12. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table specified by the manufacturer or sold with the apparatus.  
When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus to avoid injury from tip-over.  
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.  
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in  
any way, such as power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus,  
the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.  
15. The +12V trigger only outputs 12Vdc signal for triggering. Do not connect to any other power input or output. This could  
cause damage to this unit.  
16. Keep the packing material in case the equipment should ever need to be shipped.  
17. The lamp becomes extremely hot during operation. Allow the projector to cool down for approximately 45 minutes prior to  
removing the lamp assembly for replacement.

The RS-900 and RS1100 family of Home Theater Projectors offer the astounding picture  
quality and versatility heretofore associated with more expensive projectors. Their  
1920 x 1080, native-resolution DLP light engine features Runco's powerful SuperOnyx™  
technology for bright, pristine high-definition (1080p) images.  
1.3  
Description, Features  
and Benefits  
Contrast ratio and dynamic range extend to new heights with Runco's exclusive  
Reflectance Volume Regulation™ (RVR), an electronically-controlled iris system. The  
RS1100 takes this technology a step further with DynamicBlack™, which analyzes the  
program material and adjusts the iris automatically, in real time to maximize contrast and  
dynamic range at all times.  
All models feature a precision optics package with electronic lens shift. The standard  
RS-900/RS1100 projection lens has a throw range of from 1.87 to 2.20 times the screen  
width. The RS1100 Ultra provides even greater installation flexibility, with five lens options  
from which to choose offering throw distances ranging from 1.06 to 4.80 times the screen  
width. Electronic focus and zoom controls further simplify installation and setup of an  
RS1100 Ultra.  
The RS-900/RS1100's illumination system provides two light intensity levels to allow  
maximum flexibility for screen size, ambient light conditions, brightness and contrast  
balance, and lamp life preservation. It also has a newly refined cooling system, which  
increases efficiency and reduces noise levels.  
The RS-900/RS1100 has been engineered to comply with Imaging Science Foundation™  
(ISF) standards for maximum home theater image quality. Runco's sophisticated  
parameters for white balance and color gamut control have also been implemented for  
precise balance of gray scale and color. The RS-900/RS1100 incorporates  
Runco-proprietary de-interlacing technology that provides exceptional scaling and  
film-to-video (3:2 pulldown) conversion for the most artifact-free images possible.  
For uncompromising widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope”  
(2.35:1) format, the RS-900/RS1100 can be equipped with Runco’s patent-pending  
CineWide™ technology, a combination of software, electronics and high-quality  
anamorphic optics. CineWide 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 2.35:1,  
the image simply gets wider while full height is maintained. Also available with the  
RS-900/RS1100 is CineWide with AutoScope™, an enhanced, remote-controlled  
motorized version of CineWide.  
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.

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.  
3.3  
Installation  
Considerations  
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.  
Installation Type  
Table 3-2. Projector Installation Options  
Advantages  
Front Screen, Floor Mount Installation  
• Shares floor space with audience  
Considerations  
• Easy to set up  
• Can be moved or changed quickly  
• Easy to access  
Front Screen, Inverted Mount (ceiling) Installation  
• Does not take up audience space  
• Projector is unobtrusive  
• Installation is more permanent  
• Projector access is more difficult  
• Projector cannot be accidentally moved  
Rear Screen, Floor Mount Installation  
• Projector is completely hidden  
• Projector is easily accessed  
• Requires separate room  
• Installation cost is usually higher  
• Usually good ambient light rejection  
Rear Screen, Inverted Mount (ceiling) Installation  
• Projector is completely hidden  
• Requires separate room  
• Usually good ambient light rejection  
• Installation cost is usually higher  
Rear Screen, Floor Mount with Mirror  
• Projector is completely hidden  
• Usually good ambient light rejection  
• Requires less space behind screen than  
other rear screen installations  
• Requires separate room  
• Installation cost is usually higher  
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  
multiplying it by the lens throw ratio; see Figure 3-1. The result of this calculation tells you  
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.  
Estimating Throw Distance  
Throw Distance (TD) = Screen Width (w) x Lens Throw Ratio

Proper placement of the projector relative to the screen will yield a rectangular,  
perfectly-centered image that completely fills 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.

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.  
If you are installing a standard (non-CineWide) RS-900, RS1100 or RS1100 Ultra, skip this  
step and proceed with Mounting the RS-900/RS1100 (page 30).

There are several methods for mounting the projector. Depending on your chosen  
installation, one method may be more suitable than another.  
3.5  
Mounting the  
RS-900/RS1100  
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 RS-900/RS1100 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 Projector  
Height or Projection Angle  
If the screen is significantly higher or lower than the projector, you can also tilt the  
projector at a slight angle. In a ceiling installation, you do this by adjusting the ceiling  
mount.

For a floor installation, turn the four adjustable  
feet on the bottom of the projector to adjust  
the projector height and/or projection angle.  
If you do this, you may need to make keystone  
adjustments or vertically shift the image using  
the on-screen display (OSD) controls, to  
compensate. For detailed instructions, refer to  
Proceed as follows to connect the RS-900/RS1100 to your video sources, external  
controller(s) – if present – and AC power.

By default, the RS-900/RS1100 is configured for a “floor/front” installation, in which the  
projector is installed upright and in front of the screen. If it is installed behind the screen  
and/or mounted on a ceiling, you must change the picture orientation. To do this:

If you are installing a CineWide-equipped projector, proceed as follows to install and  
adjust the anamorphic lens.  
3.11  
Installing and  
Adjusting the  
CineWide Anamorphic  
Lens  
It is extremely important that the primary lens is properly  
Note  
adjusted before you install the anamorphic lens. Ensure that  
the image from the primary lens is perfectly centered on the  
screen.  
Runco offers two types of anamorphic lenses for its CineWide projectors: prismatic and  
cylindrical.  
• The prismatic lens compresses the height of the image (as opposed to stretching the  
width) to achieve a 2.35:1 aspect ratio with a 1.78:1 display device.  
• The cylindrical anamorphic lens has a larger aperture than the prismatic lens. It  
stretches the width of the image to achieve a 2.35:1 aspect ratio with a 1.78:1 display  
device. Two, cylindrical anamorphic lens options are available: Rainier II and McKinley.  
Although they differ in size and throw distance range (refer to Table 3-3), the installation  
procedure for both lenses is similar.  
The following models are available with either a prismatic or a cylindrical anamorphic lens:  
• RS-900/CineWide  
• RS1100/CineWide  
• RS1100 Ultra/CineWide  
The following models always use a cylindrical lens:  
• RS-900/CineWide with AutoScope  
• RS1100/CineWide with AutoScope  
• RS1100 Ultra/CineWide with AutoScope  
If you are installing a CineWide projector with a prismatic lens, refer to Whitney  
installing a CineWide projector with a cylindrical lens, continue with the next section.

Anamorphic Lens Holder (item #5).  
2. Place the Anamorphic Lens Holder on top of the AutoScope Carriage Plate or Fixed  
CineWide Base Plate (item #7). Position the bracket so that the long slot at the bottom  
of the lens holder is perpendicular to the corresponding slots on the plate.  
3. Secure the Anamorphic Lens Holder to the plate using the Hex Bolts/Washers  
(item #6) and Yaw/X Adjustment Levers that you removed in Step 1.  
4. Use the Lens Mounting Screws to attach the Lens Adapter Ring (item #1) to the Pitch  
Adjustment Yoke (item #2); see Figure 3-21. (Use the round, threaded holes on the  
yoke.)

T-Screws/Washers (item #4) and T-Nuts (item #9) to attach the Pitch Adjustment  
Yoke and Lens Adapter Ring to the Anamorphic Lens Holder. The Yoke should be  
as close to the primary lens as possible.  
6. Attach the lens to the Lens Adapter Ring by threading it clockwise.  
Lens threads into ring  
Figure 3-21. Attaching the Anamorphic Lens to the Lens Ring  
Configure Lens Motor Trigger: 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 RS-900/RS1100 for proper AutoScope  
operation:  
1. Press MENU on the remote control.  
2. Select Setup from the Main menu and press ENTER.  
3. Use the number buttons on the remote to enter the Setup menu passcode when  
prompted and press ENTER again. Then, press MENU on the remote control.  
4. Select 12-volt Trigger from the Setup menu.  
5. Set the 12-volt Trigger to “Cinema.” This enables the lens motor to move the  
anamorphic lens into position (in front of the primary lens) when the Cinema or Virtual  
Cinema aspect ratio is selected.

6. Select the Cinema or Virtual Cinema aspect ratio to move the anamorphic lens into  
position, if it isn’t already. To do this, press CINEMA or VCINE on the  
RS-900/RS1100 remote control (Figure 2-4).  
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

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.  
Adjusting the Yaw: Loosen the Yaw/X-Adjustment Levers to allow the lens to pivot freely  
from side to side. Then, angle the lens to even out any left-right pincushion distortion:

4. When the image geometry appears correct, tighten the  
Anamorphic Lens Set Screw (item #10) to secure the lens in place.  
(When viewed from the front, the rear opening on the anamorphic  
lens should appear as a tall, narrow oval.)  
Focus: Finally, rotate the Focus Ring on the anamorphic  
lens to fine-tune the optical focus.

The RS-900/RS1100 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 input  
separately.  
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.

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. To set the tint, select Tint from the Picture Adjust menu and press  
ENTER. While looking at the color bar pattern through a blue filter, adjust the tint level until  
the cyan and magenta color bars (on either side of the green bar) appear to be a single  
shade of blue.  
Like the Brightness and Contrast controls, the color and tint controls  
are interactive. A change to one may require a subtle change to the  
other in order to achieve the optimum setting.

Overscan: 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.  
Use the on-screen slidebar to select the desired amount of over scan.  
For HDTV, DVDs and other video sources, overscan is generally not necessary or  
desirable.  
HD & RGB Adjust: Use the settings in the HD & RGB Adjust menu to fine-tune 480p and  
higher-resolution signals for optimum picture quality.  
• Auto: Adjusts the phase, frequency and position automatically.  
• Frequency: Adjusts the frequency of the signal.  
• Phase: Adjust the phase if the image (usually from an RGB source) shows shimmer or  
“noise.” Pixel phase adjusts the phase of the pixel sampling clock relative to the  
incoming signal. The effect of this control is similar to that of a tracking control on a  
VCR.  
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. (You may  
find that you can stabilize the image at more than one point. Use either setting in this  
case.)  
• H. Position: Adjusts the horizontal position of the image.  
• V. Position: Adjusts the vertical position of the image.  
OSD Setup: Choose OSD Setup from the Installation menu to change the behavior or  
appearance of the OSD menus.  
OSD Timer: Use the

RVR: Use the RVR control to increase or decrease the Reflectance Volume Regulation  
setting. RVR lets you control the aperture or iris size (the physical opening through the  
lens; similar to an “f-stop” on a camera). Doing so allows you to optimize brightness and  
contrast according to the amount of ambient light in the viewing area.  
Use a higher setting for rooms with a lot of ambient light. Use a lower setting for more  
“theater-like” viewing conditions (little or no ambient light).  
12-volt Trigger: Select 12-volt Trigger from the Setup menu to configure the 12-volt  
trigger output.  
• Set the 12-volt Trigger to Normal if you want the trigger to activate when the projector  
is turned on (for instance, if the trigger is controlling a retractable screen).  
• Set the 12-volt Trigger to Cinema if you want the trigger to activate when the Cinema or  
Virtual Cinema aspect ratio is selected. Choose this setting if your RS-900/RS1100 is  
equipped with the Runco CineWide with AutoScope system.  
V. Correction: To achieve the proper image geometry with the secondary anamorphic  
lens, select V. Correction from the Set Up menu. Then, use the  
or  
button to change  
the native aspect ratio of the display, in small increments.  
Amplitude: The Amplitude menu allows you to fine-tune the aspect ratio by compressing  
it horizontally or vertically, in small increments. This can be useful if your projector is  
equipped with an anamorphic lens.  
The Horizontal control adjusts the image width while keeping the height constant.  
Similarly, the Vertical control adjusts the image height while keeping the width constant.  
Auto Off: When using the RS-900/RS1100 with a computer, use the Auto Off feature to  
have the RS-900/RS1100 go into standby mode when no source signal is present on the  
current input. (A warning message appears on-screen for approximately eight seconds  
before this occurs.) Select an Auto-Off interval of from five to 30 minutes, in five-minute  
increments. To return to normal operating mode from the Auto Off standby mode, select  
the input with the remote control or operate your computer.  
When Auto Off is disabled, the RS-900/RS1100 remains in normal operating mode,  
regardless of the presence or absence of an input sync signal.  
1. If the computer is turned off or not properly connected to the  
RS-900/RS1100, the system is set to the off state.  
Note  
2. For instructions on using the computer's power management  
features, refer to the instructions for your computer.

White Balance: To remove any trace of color from the white areas of the projected  
image, select the “Custom 1” or “Custom 2” Color Temperature. Then, choose White  
Balance from the ISF menu and press ENTER.  
• Gain: Use the Gain controls to correct color imbalances in the bright areas of the  
image. A good way to do this is to use a test pattern consisting mostly of solid white  
areas, such as an 80 IRE “window” pattern. If the white areas contain traces of red,  
green or blue, decrease the Gain for that color.  
• Offset: Use the Offset controls in the White Balance sub-menu to correct color  
imbalances in the dark areas of the image. A good way to do this is to use a test  
pattern consisting mostly of dark gray areas, such as a 30 IRE “window” pattern. If the  
gray areas contain traces of red, green or blue, decrease the Offset for that color.  
The Gain controls increase or decrease the full-scale input range; the Offset controls  
shift the entire range, resulting in a change in brightness. Figure 4-8 shows how the  
Gain and Offset controls interact with each other.

Generally, higher Gain settings reduce the image contrast; higher  
Offset settings reduce the image brightness.  
Note  
Advanced Options: For more precise control over picture quality, select Advanced  
Options from the ISF menu and press ENTER.  
Image Enhance: The Image Enhance menu gives you options for improving the  
quality of standard-definition, 480i images. (For 480p and higher-definition images, the  
controls in this menu are disabled.) Keep in mind that these controls add frequencies  
that are not present in the original signal, and may make images appear “noisy” if  
misused.  
DNR: Use the  
or  
button to adjust the Digital Noise Reduction (DNR). DNR is  
useful for clearing up noisy images from interlaced SD sources. Adjust as desired,  
keeping in mind that reducing noise (which reduces high frequencies) may also  
soften the image.  
Detail Enhance: Use the Detail Enhance control to improve the apparent horizontal  
and/or vertical resolution of the image.  
Luma Enhance: Use the Luma Enhance control to improve the apparent brightness  
of the image.  
Chroma Enhance: This control adds chroma (color information) to the input signal  
and can make colors appear more vibrant and saturated.  
Black Threshold: This control compensates for incoming elevated black levels  
present in certain video signals, and ensures that blacks in the display are neither  
“crushed” (where dark grays appear black) nor excessively elevated (where blacks  
appear dark gray). By default, the projector automatically determines the best setting  
according to the type of incoming video signal:  
0 IRE: Used for DVD output with “enhanced black,” SECAM, most PAL standards  
and Japanese NTSC.  
7.5 IRE: Used for most NTSC video signals.  
For some types of video, you may want to override the setting. Generally, if black  
appears crushed when brightness = 30, choose “0 IRE.” If black appears excessively  
elevated, use “7.5 IRE.”  
Gamma Selection: The normal gamma setting of 2.2 is correct for almost all signals  
and conditions. If excess ambient light washes out the image and it becomes difficult or  
impossible to see details in dark areas, lower the gamma setting to compensate. This  
will improve contrast while maintaining good details for blacks. Conversely, if the image  
is washed out and unnatural, with excessive detail in black areas, increase the setting.  
Again, good gamma improves contrast while maintaining good details for blacks and  
whites.

to customize the stored color space characteristics. To do this, use the or button  
to select a component color (Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Cyan or Magenta).  
For each component color, you can adjust the following:  
Limit: This slidebar adjusts the intensity – also known as luminance – of a given  
color.  
Saturation: This slidebar adjusts the color saturation level – the amount of that color  
in a video image. Lower settings produce less saturated colors; a setting of “0”  
removes that color from the image entirely. If the saturation is too high, that color will  
be overpowering and unrealistic.  
To restore the color space settings to their factory-default values, select Reset to  
Defaults and press ENTER.  
Gamut: Under most conditions, the White Balance and Advanced Color Enhance  
(ACE) controls in the Calibration menu are adequate for producing accurate and  
realistic colors from a variety of sources.  
In rare cases, though, you may need more precise control over the RS-900/RS1100  
display color gamut (range). For example, you may require a unique color gamut for a  
given projector or application.  
The RS-900/RS1100 enables you to define the precise hue of each primary color  
component (white, red, green and blue) used to generate the millions of colors  
produced in displays. You do this by specifying x/y coordinates and luminance values  
for each primary color component.  
The x and y coordinates for each color define its location on the standard CIE  
chromaticity graph, shown in Figure 4-9. (CIE stands for “Commission Internationale de  
l’Éclairage” (International Commission on Illumination), the organization responsible for  
color measurement and management standards.)

Changing either or both of these numbers changes the hue of the color and relocates  
the “triangle” for possible colors. For example, changing the x/y coordinates for red  
moves the color closer to either orange or violet, which in turn affects all displayed  
colors having a red component.  
To perform these adjustments, you will need a color analyzer (Sencore  
ColorPro 5000 software and ColorPro III sensor, or equivalent).

6. Serial Communications  
To interface the RS-900/RS1100 with a home theater automation/control system or a PC  
running terminal emulation software:  
6.1  
RS-232 Connection  
and Port Configuration  
1. Connect it to your control system or PC as shown in Figure 3-17.  
2. Start a terminal session on your PC using a terminal-emulation program, such as  
HyperTerminal.  
3. 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.  
4. Type a command from among those listed in Table 6-1. For example, to select the  
Component 1 input, type X133X. Do not send a carriage return after the  
command.  
Serial commands to the RS-900/RS1100 take the following form:  
• Commands are in ASCII format.  
6.2  
Serial Command  
Syntax  
• Commands must be in UPPERCASE; for example, X001X, not x001x.  
• When you send a valid command, the RS-900/RS1100 performs the following actions:  
1. Echoes the command back to the PC or control system, unless the command is  
X001X (Power On).  
2. Executes the command.  
3. Sends a confirmation message in the form X0_[command number]X<CR>. The  
confirmation message does not include the leading zeros in the command.  
For example, when you send the command X003X, the RS-900/RS1100 responds  
with X003XX0_3X<CR>. When you send the command X061X, the RS-900/RS1100  
responds with X061XX0_61X<CR>. When you send the command X133X, the  
RS-900/RS1100 responds with X133XX0_133X<CR>.  
• When you enter an invalid command, the RS-900/RS1100 echoes the command and  
does nothing else.  
The RS-900/RS1100 will not accept serial commands for 20  
seconds after it is turned on or off.

Table 7-1. RS-900/RS1100 Specifications (continued)  
Brightness and Contrast:  
Cinema Standards Measurement System (CSMS)  
Specifications – RS-900 Series  
-
-
Brightness*: 13.9 to 19.8 foot-Lamberts (fL)  
Contrast Ratio*: 200:1 to 220:1  
Cinema Standards Measurement System (CSMS)  
Specifications – RS1100 Series  
-
-
Brightness*: 14.9 to 21.8 foot-Lamberts (fL)  
Contrast Ratio*: 205:1 to 225:1  
*Variable depending on RVR setting  
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 –  
RS-900 Series  
-
-
Light Output: 438 to 543 ANSI Lumens  
Contrast Ratio*: 200:1 to 220:1  
Home Theater Calibration Specifications –  
RS1100 Series  
-
-
Light Output: 447 to 591 ANSI Lumens  
Contrast Ratio*: 205:1 to 225:1  
These specifications are obtained by calibrating the projector as  
described above for CSMS measurements.  
Industry-Standard Specifications – RS-900 Series  
-
-
Light Output: 1200 ANSI Lumens  
Contrast Ratio: 3000:1  
Industry-Standard Specifications – RS1100 Series  
-

-
Light Output: 1300 ANSI Lumens  
Contrast Ratio – RS1100 Ultra: 1600:1 to 3200:1  
Contrast Ratio – RS1100: 11,000:1  
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.
