6. Do not block any ventilation openings.
7. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.
8. Do not defeat the safety feature of the polarized or grounding type plug. A polarized type plug has two blades with one
wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The third prong is provided for
your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for the replacement of the obsolete
outlet.
9. The 12V trigger only outputs DC 12V signal for triggering. Do not connect to any other power input or output. This could

Runco steps into the future once again with the Video Xtreme™ VX-2ix Digital Light
Processing (DLP™) Projector, one of the world’s first THX Certified, high-definition home
1.3
®
Description, Features
and Benefits
theater projectors.
THX recommends the use of 720p source material for optimal
performance with this product.
Note
The VX-2ix optical light engine utilizes three, 16:9 SuperOnyx™ Digital Micromirror
Device™ (DMD™) chips featuring 1280 x 720, high-definition resolution and 12-degree
mirror tilt for unsurpassed black level performance. Unlike previous, single-chip DLP
implementations, no color wheel is used. This reduces mechanical complexity and
compromises to color spectrum purity. The impressive brightness inherent in 3-chip
systems is further bolstered by the improved contrast capabilities of the VX-2ix light
engine design, offering the best of both worlds.
The VX-2ix is equipped with an embedded, all-digital signal processor/controller featuring
advanced Vivix II™ video processing, superb scaling and aspect ratio control. The VX-2ix
is enhanced further by significant horizontal and vertical lens shift capability for maximum
installation flexibility.
The VX-2ix produces an impressive 2500 ANSI lumens of light output (CSMS™ light
output of 52.1 ft-Lamberts). The VX-2ix’s 16:9 native aspect ratio DMD array makes it
ideal for widescreen viewing, while its 3-chip, 1280 x 720 native resolution produces crisp,
crystal clear high-definition images with richly saturated colors, deep black levels and
natural, highly refined detail.
This advanced design provides pure digital connections from input to light engine for
absolutely stellar pictures. In addition, Runco’s multiple aspect ratio control includes its
unique VirtualWide™ mode for viewing standard video formats in widescreen without loss
of image quality.
For uncompromising widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope”
(2.35:1) format, the VX-2ix 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 VX-2ix 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.

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.
Estimating Throw Distance
Throw Distance (TD) = Screen Width (w) x Lens Throw Ratio

the lens shift controls to center the image on the screen. Lens shift is generally expressed
Vertical and Horizontal
Lens Shift
Vertical Lens Shift: The VX-2ix zoom lenses (Proteus B through F) provide up to 80% of
downward vertical lens shift. For example, with a 96 x 54-inch (16:9) screen, you can shift
the image up to 43.20 inches (1.10 meters) below the screen center. (Upward vertical lens
shift is not possible. Vertical lens shift is not possible in either direction with the Proteus A
lens.)
Horizontal Lens Shift: The VX-2ix zoom lenses (Proteus B through F) allow up to 10% of
horizontal lens shift in either direction (left or right). For example, with a 96 x 54-inch (16:9)
screen, you can shift the image up to 9.60 inches (24.38 cm) left or right of the screen
center. (Horizontal lens shift is not possible with the Proteus A lens.)
1. With no vertical or horizontal lens shift, the lens center and
Note
screen center are aligned with each other.
2. Vertical shift limits are percentages of the screen height.
Horizontal shift limits are percentages of the screen width.
3. Vertical lens shift figures apply to ceiling mount
configurations. For floor installations (where the projector is
upright), reverse the up/down vertical offset percentages.

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 VX-2ix with the optional CineWide or CineWide with AutoScope
system, install the secondary anamorphic lens in accordance with the instructions
provided with the lens installation kit.
3.4
Installing the Optional
CineWide Lens

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 VX-2ix
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 VX-2ix 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 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.
➤
If you do this, you may need to shift the image using the on-screen display (OSD) controls,

Use the controls in the Picture Menu to calibrate your VX-2ix for optimum picture quality.
Picture
The VX-2ix 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.
Picture
Brightness
Contrast

All signal types require separate processing. Therefore, you need to calibrate each input
separately.
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, refer
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.
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
Figure 4-3. 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.

Color Saturation: On your external test pattern source, select a color bar pattern like the
Figure 4-4. Typical Color Bar Pattern for Adjusting Color Saturation and Tint
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. To set the tint, select Tint 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: 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.
For HDTV, DVDs and other video sources, Overscan is generally not necessary or
desirable.
For each input, the VX-2ix 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 resolution. Use the
ISF Presets menu to recall saved image presets, or to save image settings in the
“Custom 1” or “Custom 2” memory location. The currently-selected preset is indicated by

ISF Night - Display Color: Use the Display Color settings to adjust the color balance at
the projector output. These settings are saved independently for each input.
• 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.
• Gamma: “Gamma” is a global setting that determines how gray shades are displayed
between minimum input (black) and maximum input (white) for all signals. A good
gamma setting helps to optimize blacks and whites while ensuring smooth transitions
for the “in-between” values utilized in other grays. Unlike “Brightness” and “Contrast”
controls, the overall tone of your images can be lightened or darkened without
changing the extremes and all images will be more vibrant while still showing good
detail in dark areas.
In all but the most unusual situations, the appropriate “Color Temp” selection (see
below) will produce accurate colors and a satisfying contrast level. However, it is
sometimes necessary to adjust the red, blue and green gamma curves individually. To
do this, select Gamma from the Display Color sub-menu and use the left- and
right-arrow buttons to manipulate the on-screen slidebars.
• Lamp Power: Select Lamp Power from the Display Color Menu to adjust the lamp
output level. You can choose to run the lamp as bright as possible (“1”; this is the
default setting) or you can choose the lower setting (“0”). Generally, lower lamp output
can prolong the life of the lamp, but decreases brightness.
• Color Temp: Select Color Temp from the Display Color menu to adjust the color
temperature. The default setting is appropriate for most situations. Higher settings

ISF Night - Input Color: The Input Color controls are similar to those in the Display Color
menu (see above), but adjust the color balance of the incoming signal. These settings are
also saved independently for each input.
• 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. If necessary, adjust this setting to eliminate them.
• 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
notice that you can stabilize the image at more than one point. Use either setting in this
case.)
• Noise Filter: To apply noise filtering to the input signal, select Noise Filter from the
Input Color menu. The Noise Filter is useful for clearing up noisy images from 480i
video sources.
Use the left- or right-arrow buttons to select the desired amount of noise reduction,
keeping in mind that higher settings (which reduce high frequencies) may also “soften”
the image.

Remote Control: The Remote Control menu shows you the primary and secondary
infrared (IR) codes to which the VX-2ix will respond. By default, both are set to 17. You
can change these codes if either:
• Another device in the theater (a DVD player, for example) is responding to commands
from the VX-2ix remote control in ways that are unpredictable or undesirable.
• You have multiple VX-2ix projectors 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
projector.
Use the rear-panel keypad to change a projector IR code. Then,
change the code sent by the remote to match as described below.
Tip
Do not change the “Type” setting in this menu.
Note
When you change a remote code on the VX-2ix, you must re-program your 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.
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.

The inactive image area is on either side of the active image area when using the
Standard 4:3 aspect ratio, and above and below the active image area when using the
Letterbox aspect ratio.
• Film Mode: Enable Film Mode to smooth out moving images from interlaced,
standard-definition (SD) sources. In most cases, the VX-2ix detects the proper
“pull-down” rate and vertical frequency. However, if your source is jittery and/or tearing
you may wish to enable Film Mode to ensure stable processing for that source.
Resolution: The VX-2ix defaults to an output resolution of 720p. When using the VX-2ix
with a computer or certain HD sources, you may want to force it to use a different output
resolution. If so, select Resolution from the Service menu and choose one. Then, press

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 100,ANAMORPHIC <Enter>
switches to the Composite video input, sets the brightness to 100 and sets the aspect
ratio to Anamorphic. 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 15
seconds for the projector 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 VX-2ix 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 VX-2ix
ignores it and returns a minus sign (- >).

Brightness and Contrast:
Cinema Standards Measurement System (CSMS)
Specifications
-
-
Brightness: 52.1 foot-Lamberts (fL)
Contrast Ratio: 271:1
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: 1227 ANSI Lumens
Contrast Ratio: 271:1
These specifications are obtained by calibrating the projector as
described above for CSMS measurements.
Industry-Standard Specifications

-
Light Output: 2500 ANSI Lumens
Contrast Ratio: 3100:1
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.

Appendix A. VX-2ix Color Gamut Adjustment
Only ISF-trained and -certified technicians should attempt this
procedure!
Note
For most applications, the Display Color 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 VX-2ix display color
gamut (range). For example, you may require a unique color gamut for a given projector or
application. In such cases, you can access the VX-2ix’s color gamut controls via serial
commands. This 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 and y coordinates for each primary color component.
The x and y coordinates for each color define its location on the standard CIE chromaticity
(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 need the following:
• Laptop or desktop PC with a DB-9 serial port.
A.1
Required Hardware
and Software
• A straight-through (not null-modem) serial cable (DB-9 female to DB-9 male).
• A DB-9 female-to-3.5mm phono plug adapter.
• Terminal emulation software – HyperTerminal or equivalent.
• Color analyzer – Sencore ColorPro 5000 software and ColorPro III sensor, or
equivalent.
Most computer-based color analyzers – like the Sencore product used
Note
here as an example – also require a serial connection for the color
sensor. In order to use them for this procedure, your PC must have either
two available RS-232 COM ports, or one COM port and one Universal
Serial Bus (USB) port.
If you are using a stand-alone color analyzer, this is not an issue.

6. Press <Enter>. The VX-2ix responds with “+>” to indicate that it is ready to accept
commands.
7. Start your color analyzer. Position the sensor approximately 6 to 12 inches from the
screen, facing it at a slight angle (upward or to one side) so that the color of the
screen is included in the calibration.

Serial Command
Syntax
When you enter a valid command, the VX-2ix 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 VX-2ix
ignores it and returns a minus sign (- >).
