The projector has a RS232 port that allows it to communicate with the VHD Controller.  
The VHD Controller will communicate with the projector via its RS232 output.  
This communiction includes on/off commands and source switching commands  
(see the VHD Controller of this manual). This allows much easier integration  
into your home theater system by only having to control a single piece of gear.

CONTROLLING  
The DTV-947 can be controlled with  
a. The RCU  
c. Using your RCU.  
b. The hardwired RCU (cable not included)  
c. The local keyboard  
Before using your RCU, it is necessary to enter the projector address into  
the RCU (only when that address is between 1 and 9). The projector with  
the corresponding address will listen to that specific RCU.

How to use your RCU  
Press the ADDRESS key (recessed key on the RCU) with a pencil. The  
projector’s address will be displayed in a ‘Text box’. This text box dis-  
appears after a few seconds.

RCU  
To continue using your RCU, it is necessary to enter the same address  
with the digit buttons (address between 0 and 9). For example, if the  
Address Key displays projector address 003, then press the “3” digit but-  
ton on the RCU to set the RCU’s address to match the projector’s address.  
Do not press digit 003. This will address the remote to ‘0’ and control all  
projectors in the room.  
b) RCU used in a hardwired configuration.

This device complies with part 15 of  
the FCC rules. Operation is subject to

Press the ADDRESS key (recessed key on the RCU) with a pencil and  
enter the address with the digit buttons. That address can be any digit  
between 0 and 9.  
When programming ‘0’, zero address, the RCU will control a projector  
regardless of the projector’s address. This feature allows multiple projec-  
tors with different addresses to be controlled by a single RCU.  
Plug one end of the remote cable in the connector on the bottom of the  
RCU and the second side in the connector in the rear panel of the DTV-  
947 labeled ‘REMOTE’.  
Projector Address  
a. Hardware set up of the projector address.  
Every projector requires an individual address between 0 and 255 which  
is set with hardware DIP switches inside the projector. To change that  
address, contact a RUNCO authorized technician.  
b. How to control the projector.  
The projector’s address may be set to any value between 0 and 255.  
When the address is set, the projector can be controlled now with :  
-the RCU for addresses between 1 and 9.  
-computer, e.g. IBM PC (or compatible), Apple MAC, etc. for  
addresses between 0 and 255.  
Note : A projector will respond to a RCU set to an address of ‘0’ regard-  
less of what address is set in the projector itself. Address “0” is therefore  
a universal address.

How to format the control data  
Every command sent to the projector is a group of 9 bytes that is called a record. Even a  
simple ON command is sent as a record. Below is an explanation of the syntax of a record.  
It is not necessary to memorize the syntax since the next section contains a chart of strings  
that work with any DTV-947 and can be entered directly into most automation systems to  
control all the functions of the projector.

RS-232 CONTROL  
Sending a RECORD (single instruction)  
A RECORD consists of 9 bytes of information in the following order:  
STX, OFFS, ADR, CMD, DAT1, DAT2, DAT3, DAT4, CHKS  
Where:  
STX  
- 02H  
Make projector(s) listen for its (their) unique address.  
OFFS  
- (1-255)  
Offset you choose so that none of the data or CMDs - 02H (STX).  
Normally set the offset to 0.  
ADRe  
- (1-255)  
Number corresponding to projector’s unique address (see dip switch setting).  
If you are unsure of your projector’s address, set this to 0.  
It will talk to your projector regardless of its address.  
CMDe - (1-255)  
The command to be sent to the projector (see list of commands).  
See command list for all possible functions.  
DAT1e - (1-255)  
DAT2e - (1-255)  
DAT3e - (1-255)

EYE-QTM Autoconvergence  
OVERVIEW  
TM  
The EYE-Q auto-convergence system allows for faster and more accurate convergence when used by the installer upon initial instal-  
TM  
lation. The EYE-Q system also allows the end-user to perform occasional convergence touch ups without having to learn the com-  
TM  
plex convergence procedure using the TOUCH-UP option in the EYE-Q menu. By doing so, the end-user can be assured that the  
image quality is always at its best.  
To work correctly, the installer must complete geometry (setting green only) for one source which is the reference geometry. Every  
memory that is auto-converged after that will use the same geometry as the reference. In most applications, however, multiple aspect  
ratios are to be converged, each with its own unique geometry. In this case, the geometry for each aspect ratio needs to be completed  
TM  
first, the EYE-Q will converge the red and blue colors to the green for each aspect ratio.  
The last step is for the installer to touch-up the convergence using the fine convergence using the fine convergence adjustments for the  
TM  
red and the blue. The EYE-Q  
is typically 95% accurate when doing a FULL AUTOCONVERGENCE adjustment, depending on  
TM  
screen size and how well the initial EYE-Q setup was performed.  
TM  
THE QUICK GUIDE to using the EYE-Q system:  
Do geometry for the current memory bank (see geometry section)  
TM  
Focus the lens in EYE-Q SETUP menu  
TM  
Center the camera in EYE-Q SETUP menu  
TM  
Learn reference in EYE-Q SETUP menu  
Select AUTO-CONVERGENCE then ALIGN on current source from the EYE-Q menu  
TM  
If all five steps were completed successfully, the projector will have already begun to converge red and blue automatically at this time.  
Please read further for detailed instructions of each adjustment.

after a user-defined time: alignment of static convergence is  
almost invisible for the audience.  
Easy-to-use, high precision automatic geometry system  
Various options on the menu offer a comprehensive solution to  
your geometry requirements:  
Quick auto-picture: aligns geometry within 45 seconds.

EYE-Q requires a reference for adjusting geometry. The simplest  
way to have a reference screen is to adjust one source by hand,  
which then serves as a reference for all other sources. After adjust-  
TM  
ing a source, the reference is learned by EYE-Q and stored in  
non-volatile memory. Having this Reference Source in memory  
TM  
EYE-Q can adjust all other sources to have the same geometry as  
the Reference Source.  
REFERENCE SOURCE  
Before any geometric adjustment can be done, the user Must learn  
a Reference Source. This process is ONLY DONE ONCE since the  
Reference will be stored in non-volatile memory. If however, the  
projector is moved from its position, then the Learn Reference pro-  
cedure must be repeated. After learning a Reference do not touch  
the camera (for focusing and centering).  
If using multi-aspect ratios, a Reference Geometry must be done  
for each aspect ratio.  
ADJUSTING OTHER SOURCES  
Once a Reference Source is in memory, other sources are aligned  
with the same geometry as the Reference Source. If no Reference  
Source is learned, the resulting geometry will be unpredictable.

<ENTER>.  
Top Green Line  
Top Edge  
Using the up or down keys of the control disc adjust the horizontal green line at the  
bottom until it matches the bottom edge of the Reference Source perfectly, then  
press <ENTER>.  
REFERENCE SOURCE  
TM  
Now EYE-Q projects the Reference Source with a vertical green line inserted at the  
left and a vertical green line inserted at the right.  
Pushing the up or down keys of the control disc changes the position of the verti-  
cal green lines simultaneously; they are being shifted symmetrically inward and  
outward with respect to the scan of the projector.  
Bottom Green Line  
Bottom Edge  
Use left or right keys of the control disc to change the phase of the Reference Source.  
Use both (up or down) or (left or right) so that the green vertical lines perfectly match  
the right-left edges of the reference image, then press <ENTER> (this will initiate the  
learning procedure).  
Right Green Line  
Right Edge  
NOTE: If you had to use the left and right arrow keys to adjust the phase, this means  
that the phase of the Reference Source was originally not adjusted correctly. Hence the  
Reference Source may now fall short of the physical screen. To avoid this, re-adjust the  
Horizontal Raster Shift (in the Random Access Adjustment mode, refer to Owner Man-  
ual) so that the Reference source falls on the physical screen and repeat the Learn Ref-  
erence selection.  
REFERENCE SOURCE  
Do not adjust the phase when repeating the Learn Reference procedure.  
Left Edge  
Left Green Line  
Pressing<EXIT> will interrupt the Learn Reference procedure if required.  
TM  
WHAT IS BEING MEASURED BY EYE-Q  
TM  
Using the borderlines define above, EYE-Q knows exactly when the image starts and  
TM  
stops with respect to time scale. EYE-Q is now able to project lines at the edges. Using  
TM  
the border lines left and right, EYE-Q projects three vertical thick green lines at posi-  
TM  
tions 5, 50 and 95%. Using the border lines top and bottom, EYE-Q projects three hor-  
TM  
izontal thick lines at positions 5, 50 and 95%. EYE-Q then calculates the intercepts of  
the three vertical and three horizontal lines resulting in nine points. These nine points  
are the reference points for other geometry sources and are stored into memory.  
NOTE: “DELETE ALL BLOCKS” in the Service menu does not delete the Reference  
source parameters.

ADJUSTING SCREEN SIZE

blanking  
In case the projection screen is not greater than the desired size or  
the screen has a frame around it (i.e. projection impossible outside  
the frame), the following blanking adjustments have to be done  
before starting the automatic convergence:  
When using a video source: adjust the top, bottom, left and  
right blanking until the whole projected image of video is just  
still visible;  
When using a screen with a frame: adjust the top, bottom,  
left and right blanking until the whole projected image is just  
still visible.  
So that the selected screen area after blanking adjustments corre-  
sponds with the projected image size.  
In this way, the screen size is set correctly to ensure the successful  
convergence.

INTRODUCTION  
General Description  
Congratulations on your purchase of the DTV-947/VHD Controller system! The  
processor is designed to work with the DTV-947 projector, and will provide full  
aspect ratio control as well as greatly enhanced picture quality. As a result the  
aspect ratio control feature within the controller allows the projector to stay in a  
single memory, making integration into the system much easier.  
The VHD Controller is not only an aspect-ratio controller, but is also scaler with a  
progressive output, which virtually eliminates motion artifacts as a result of inter-  
laced signals. Also, its 10-bit processing results in the cleanest, most resolved  
video images a processor can provide.  
Features and Benefits  
The VHD Controller has many great features and benefits that make it a flexible,  
high-quality processor. Its many benefits include:  
An adaptive 2-dimensional comb filter that greatly reduces artifacts when  
using a composite video signal as an input.  
A Luma edge enhancement circuit makes the edges of objects appear  
sharper without the ringing and noise increase associated with traditional  
sharpness circuits  
A Chroma edge enhancement circuit is included to compensate for lower  
chroma resolution found in composite and S-video.  
Inverse Telecine (3:2 pulldown) detection and processing allows the scaler to  
almost completely eliminate interlace artifacts associated with other scalers  
The controller can correctly scale anamorphic, letterbox and 4:3 formats to fit  
on a wide aspect-ratio screen, and scale anamorphic formats on a 4:3 screen  
A pass-through connector is supplied for routing HDTV or computer graph-  
ics directly to the projector.  
An RS-232 input is provided for easy integration into the automated home  
theater environment  
A TBC (Time Base Corrector) circuit is provided for unstable sources such  
as VCR’s.  
A Dual-Screen actuator output for both Widescreens and 4:3 screens is provided  
A simple 7-button remote controls all aspects of operation. One button  
source selection and aspect ratio control is also provided via the remote  
control or the front panel.

While there are many different ways to connect your source equipment to your VHD-  
Controller, the examples shown above are the most common and are recommended by  
Runco.  
• COMPOSITE VIDEO INPUT:  
Composite video is the most common type of signal used, but is also the lowest in picture  
quality. Many sources have outputs that are limited to composite video, such as most VCR’s  
and some camcorders; others such as Laser Disc players actually produce slightly better  
results when using composite video. While the VHD-Controller has an excellent decoder for  
composite video, it is recommended that composite video be used only if necessary.  
• S-VIDEO INPUT  
S-video is the second-best type of signal that can be used, but is MUCH better than compos-  
ite video. Using such sources as Satellite receivers, high-quality VCRs and DVD players (with  
no component output) will produce a MUCH cleaner and sharper signal. Decoder artifacts  
that are associated with composite video (dot crawl and ‘rainbows’) are non-existent when  
using S-video.  
• COMPONENT INPUT  
Component video is the best type of signal that can be used. The most common sources that  
use component outputs are DVD players, and it is highly recommended that component be  
used when possible. Component video goes one step beyond S-video in picture quality; chro-  
ma (color) information is more resolved and the overall picture appears more well-defined.  
• PASS-THROUGH  
This input is used to ‘pass-through’ any high-definition or computer signals that do not require  
processing. The signal by-passes the controller’s processing and is sent directly to the pro-  
jector. The pass-through may be used for COMPONENT outputs from a DTV decoder, a pro-  
gressive-scan DVD player or RGB outputs from a computer.

QUICK SET-UP GUIDE  
Getting Started  
To get started using your DTV-947 system, follow these simple steps:  
1. Ensure all sources that you are using are properly connected to the controller.  
This is something your Runco dealer has probably already done for you; if not,  
please refer to the ‘Connection Examples’ and the owners manuals of each appro-  
priate source as necessary.  
2. Turn on all sources. If a A/V receiver or a Runco OVSS-8 is being used to switch  
the video, ensure that is also turned on.  
3. Turn on the controller. Make sure the Main Power switch (pg. 11-8) is ON, then  
press the power button on the front of the controller (or the power button on the  
remote). Ensure the red LED lights up on the front of the controller.  
4. Turn on the projector.  
5. With the left or right buttons on the front panel or remote, select the desired  
source. You may also do this by going through the menu (see pg. 11-14).  
6. Select the desired aspect ratio by using the up and down buttons on the front  
panel or the remote. You may also do this by going through the menu (see  
pg.11-14). For an explanation of Aspect ratios, please refer to pg. 11-18.

QUICK SET-UP GUIDE  
Overall Functional Description  
The VHD-Controller’s purpose is twofold. First, it provides aspect ratio control for  
the projectors, and can do so on either a WIDESCREEN or a standard 4:3 screen.  
Second, it provides a clean, progressive signal to the projector.  
The processing the controller uses is called SCALING. Scaling is simply a way of  
taking a signal, ‘digitizing’ it, then converting it to any of a number of resolutions. It  
is by manipulating the algorithms of the scaling process that we are able to not only  
produce properly-configured aspect ratios, but to match the resolutions required for  
the projector it will be used with.  
An INTERLACED signal is the type of signal that comes from all consumer sources  
(with the exception of DTV decoders and computers). DVD players, Laser Disc  
players, and VCRs are all examples of source equipment that have interlaced out-  
puts. An interlaced signal is simply described as this:  
An NTSC picture is made of approximately 480 lines. Images are drawn 60 times a sec-  
ond, but in an interlaced system, only half the lines are drawn each ‘pass’. Therefore, it  
240 lines (odd)  
240 lines (even)  
First 1/60th of a second  
Second 1/60th of a second  
th  
takes two ‘passes’ to actually complete the picture. On the first 1/60 of a second, all of  
th  
the ‘ODD’ lines are drawn, then the ‘EVEN’ lines the next 1/60 of a second. This is also  
called ‘480i’, where 480 is the total number of lines of resolution, and ‘i’ means interlaced.  
th  
A PROGRESSIVE signal, however, draws all 480 lines each 1/60 of a second, not  
half and half like an interlaced signal. A ‘line doubler’, for example, outputs a 480-line  
progressive signal (also known as 480P). The line doubler takes the first field (odd  
lines), and stores them in memory, then takes the second field (even lines) and does  
the same. Then, all 480 are output at once, and then the same frame is repeated.  
The controller starts off as a line doubler by ‘de-interlacing’ the signal. Then, the  
480p signal is scaled to appropriate resolution, and then output to the projector. It is  
Runco’s high-quality scaling process as well as its de-interlacing that provides the  
clean, resolved image that you see from your projector. It is also how the controller  
can provide aspect ratio control.  
In the next chapter, the individual menu items will be described in detail. Overall,  
the controller has a number of useful functions aside from the scaling and de-inter-  
lacing described above. It has typical picture controls, including COLOR (satura-  
tion), TINT (hue), BRIGHTNESS (black level), SHARPNESS, CONTRAST (ratio of  
white to black) and other picture enhancements such as LUMA and CHROMA  
ENHANCE.

MENU DESCRIPTION AND NAVIGATION  
Aspect Ratio allows selection of one of the three aspect ratios provided by the  
controller. You have two options for selecting an aspect ratio: First, highlight  
ASPECT RATIO on the main menu, then press ENTER. Then select the desired  
aspect ratio, and again press ENTER. The second option is to simply press the UP  
or DOWN arrows on the remote or front panel. Doing this will toggle you through  
the three choices- Anamorphic (16:9), Letterbox and Standard (4:3). For more infor-  
mation on aspect ratios, please refer to Page 11-18.  
Pass Through Setup: The settings for this will tell the projector which source (RGB  
or Component) and aspect ratio to ‘look at’ when using the pass-through connectiion  
on the Controller. For example, if using a computer via the Pass-Through port on the  
Controller, this setting should be ‘Computer’. However, if a DTV decoder with a com-  
ponent output is used, the setting should be on ‘YUV HDTV’.

Picture quality adjustments are those that change the various parameters of the  
image, such as COLOR (saturation level) and BRIGHTNESS (black level), among  
others. Typically, these adjustments should be made only once (during initial calibra-  
tion) and then left alone. However, if it is necessary to make any adjustments, per-  
form the following procedure:  
In the example above, note that COMPOSITE is the active source. This is indicated  
by an arrow to the left of the word ‘COMPOSITE’. To make adjustments, highlight  
the active source (composite in this case) and press ENTER.  
Note:  
Pressing ENTER after highlighting a different source will switch you to that  
source instead of making picture quality adjustments.

MENU DESCRIPTION AND NAVIGATION  
After pressing ENTER, the picture quality menu will appear (the menu to the right  
of the main menu above). To adjust a certain function, highlight it with the or  
DOWN buttons, and press ENTER. The following will then appear on-screen (we’ll  
use COLOR as an example):  
COMPOSITE  
COLOR: 0  
AGC ENABLED  
To Change the value of the function (Color in this case), simply press the UP button to increase the  
value, and the DOWN button to decrease the value. For COLOR and CONTRAST, to turn AGC on or  
off, press the ENTER button.  
• TINT  
Also known as ‘HUE’. Decreasing this will give the picture a ‘redder’ tint, increasing it gives the pic-  
ture a ‘greener’ feel. This is actually a ratio of one color vs. another (red, green or blue), so making  
the picture ‘greener’ for example, is actually affecting all three colors. It is recommended that this  
function stay about mid-range.  
• COLOR  
Also known as ‘SATURATION’. Decreasing this will decrease the amount of color in the image (it will  
be black and white if it is decreased all the way), Increasing this will add color to the image. This is  
typically best at about mid-range, but increasing it a little will add more vibrance to the colors.  
However, if it is increased too high, the picture will look very unnatural.  
The ‘AGC enabled/disabled’ function should normally be left in ‘AGC Disabled’. If, however, you are  
using an unstable source and are having color level fluctuations in the image, you may try to use  
‘AGC Enabled’ to see if it helps.  
• BRIGHTNESS  
This actually controls the black level of the picture- not the overall light output! If this is set too low,  
then there will be no detail in the dark areas of the image. If it is set too high, then the picture will  
appear ‘washed out’. This is normally set using a ‘PLUGE’ test pattern; if this has already been cali-  
brated it should not be adjusted (for best results).  
• CONTRAST  
This is the ratio of brightest whites to the darkest scenes. Basically, this increases the ‘white level’ of  
the image. While it will increase the light output to a certain extent it could also cause ‘clipping’ if it is  
increased too high. This appears as a loss of definition in the brightest scenes, where the whites  
appear to ‘bleed together’.  
The ‘AGC enabled/disabled’ function should normally be left in ‘AGC Disabled’. If, however, you are  
using an unstable source and are having brightness (light output) level fluctuations in the image, you  
may try to use ‘AGC Enabled’ to see if it helps.

MENU DESCRIPTION AND NAVIGATION  
• SHARPNESS  
This controls the ‘high-frequency’ detail of the image. The more sharpness is  
increased, the more detail is added into the picture. However, if it is increased too  
much, it will also increase ‘noise’ in the picture as well as other types of artifacts.  
This may be set to personal preference; midrange is factory-preset.  
• LUMA ENHANCE  
This is similar to the sharpness control, but it does not boost the frequencies all  
over the picture. Instead, this is more like an ‘edge enhancement’ that makes transi-  
tions between objects more or less defined. The edges of a building, for example,  
may appear more or less defined depending on the setting of LUMA ENHANCE.  
This affects areas of the image that do not have much color.  
The LOW and HIGH FREQUENCIES setting on the bottom of the LUMA  
ENHANCE adjustment window are for different sources; it should be set to LOW  
FREQUENCIES if a lower quality source is used (VCRs), and HIGH FREQUEN-  
CIES if a good quality source like a DVD player is used. To select HIGH or LOW  
FREQUENCIES, use the ENTER button.  
• CHROMA ENHANCE  
This is basically the same as LUMA ENHANCE, but affects the color edges.It helps  
remove the watercolor look of NTSC images. Use low frequency for VCRs and  
cable and high frequency for DVDs.

Aspect Ratios  
First, the Basics  
An ‘aspect ratio’ is simply the ratio of the width vs. the height of the screen. For  
example, the current aspect ratio standard is 4:3 (or 1.33:1), where the image is 4  
units wide and 3 units tall.  
3 units tall  
4 units wide  
All of our ‘regular’ televisions are this aspect ratio. You have probably noticed that  
occasionally you’ll watch a movie that does not fill the screen vertically. This is  
because the movie was filmed in WIDESCREEN (letterbox), and the result is ‘black  
bars’ above and below the image:  
Obviously, watching a movie like this does not lend itself to a truly cinematic experi-  
ence! This is why Runco invented the first-ever multiple aspect-ratio projection sys-  
tem back in 1991, so true movie-lovers can watch actual widescreen (letterbox)  
movies on a WIDESCREEN!  
A WIDESCREEN can be a number of aspect ratios; many movies are either 1.85:1  
or 2.35:1, and HDTV is always 1.78:1 (16:9). The way we create a widescreen (or  
LETTERBOX) aspect ratio is to take a full 4:3 image, then ‘blank’ (or cut off) the top  
and bottom so the displayed image is in a widescreen format. For movies recorded  
in ‘letterbox’, there would be no information above and below the screen anyways,  
so we’re not losing any of the picture. However, if you were to watch standard tele-  
vision broadcast this way, you would lose some information (see next drawing).

ASPECT RATIOS  
Active image area  
(Actual screen area)  
Blanked (cut off)  
areas  
As you can see, our screen in this example is a 1.85:1 ratio. The dashed lines  
show the area that we ‘blanked’. If you recall, watching a letterbox movie on a 4:3  
screen gave us black bars; therefore with letterbox movies, we’re not losing any  
information!  
The ‘other’ type of widescreen is called ‘ANAMORPHIC’. The image is still a  
widescreen format, but instead of ‘blanking’ the top and bottom, we simply reduce  
the overall height of the image:  
As a result, all objects will be ‘short and fat’ (like the circle above), right? Well, not if  
you’re using software that is anamorphic. Most (but not all) DVD movies have an  
anamorphic option.  
Anamorphic material will always produce a better image when using a high quality  
scaler such as the VHD-Controller. The reason is that you will actually get more  
lines of resolution (and ultimately more detail) when using anamorphic titles (assum-  
ing your display device has that capability). Basically, a TV image is made of 480  
lines. When using LETTERBOX (the drawing at the top of the page), we’re ‘throwing  
away’ information by blanking the top and bottom. The end result is that there will  
only be around 360 lines of information on the screen. With anamorphic, 480.

Command format <input><aspect ratio>  
Inputs:  
Aspect Ratios:  
A = Anamorphic  
Power:  
0 = Composite  
1 = S-Video  
ON = Power on  
OF = Power off  
L = LetterBox  
2 = Component  
3 = Pass Through  
S = Standard (4:3)  
H = HDTV (for pass through)  
C = Computer (for pass through)  
To keep the currently selected aspect ratio or input, replace the letter/number with a dash "-"  
Each command must be followed by a carriage return <CR>.  
Examples:  
2L will select the component input and change the aspect ratio to letterbox  
-A will change the aspect ratio to anamorphic, but leave the input selection alone  
1- will change the input to S-Video, but leave the aspect ratio alone  
RS-232 Projector Control requires a cable terminated with male RJ-11 jacks at both ends.  
Wiring is the same as for a phone (ie. in a cross configuration).
