The Runco Video Extreme™ VX-6000d follows in the footsteps of its renowned
predecessor, the VX-5000d by offering extraordinary performance, state of the art optics,
impressive custom installation flexibility and today’s most advanced DLP technology with
1920 x 1080 SuperOnyx™ resolution.
1.3
Description, Features
and Benefits
Its performance is so extraordinary, in fact, that the VX-6000d has earned its place in our
exclusive, Video Xtreme™ family of products — our top of the line and the world’s first
®
video products to earn prestigious THX certification.
The VX-6000d incorporates Runco’s exclusive Enhanced GEN 3™ engineering
advancements to make more efficient use of optical light engine design. This results in
greater light output and dramatically increases contrast ratio.
Among the advances Runco has developed are a sophisticated color balancing system
and Reflectance Volume Regulation™ (RVR™), which provides the perfect balance of
black and white levels. These engineering achievements are combined with lens choices
featuring world-class optics and lens shift versatility. The resulting images are superb. In
fact, the VX-6000d can easily surpass the black levels of film projectors!
The VX-6000d is supplied with Runco’s next-generation, Digital High Definition (DHD™)
Controller/Scaler/Processor, featuring advanced Vivix III™ video processing and superb
scaling. 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. The
DHD provides for a pure digital signal path from input to light engine.
The VX-6000d produces an impressive 1750 ANSI lumens of light output (CSMS light
output of 17.3 to 29.8 ft-Lamberts).
For uncompromising widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope”
(2.35:1) format, the VX-6000d 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-6000d 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 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.
Throw Distance
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

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.
Audio/Video
Synchronization Issues
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 A/V receivers introduce additional latency that needs to be
latency given different signal input timings.

Other Considerations
Other considerations and tips that can help improve your installation:
➤
• Keep the ambient temperature constant and below 35°C (95°F). Keep the projector
away from heating 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,

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-6000d
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.
Floor Mounting (Upright)
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-6000d and suspend it from the
ceiling using a specially-designed ceiling mount fixture.
Ceiling Mounting
(Inverted)
Use only the Runco-approved ceiling mount kit (part number
956-0074-00) 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).
If the VX-6000d 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.
Adjusting the Projection
Angle
If you do this, you may need to shift the image using the OSD controls, to compensate.
Proceed as follows to connect the DHD Controller to the VX-6000d, your video sources,
external controller(s) – if present – and AC power.
3.6
Connections to the
VX-6000d and DHD
Controller
When connecting your equipment:
• Turn off all equipment before making any connections.
• Use the correct signal cables for each source.
• Route all cables through the cable opening at the bottom rear of the projector (see
• Ensure that the cables are securely connected. Tighten the thumbscrews on
connectors that have them.
The VX-6000d is designed to receive only video input signals directly from the companion
DHD Controller/Scaler/Processor. Connect all signal sources to the appropriate inputs on
the rear panel of the DHD Controller. The signal from the DHD Controller is then output to
the VX-6000d projector through an HDMI cable.

(Skip this step if you are installing a fixed CineWide anamorphic lens.)
Configure Lens Motor
Trigger (CineWide with
AutoScope)
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.
Adjust the Anamorphic
Lens
2. Loosen the Yaw/X-Adjustment Levers underneath the lens.
3. Slowly move the anamorphic lens into place 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.
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 Geometry:
1. Input an anamorphic cross-hatch test pattern to the projector.
2. Unscrew the Anamorphic Lens just enough to allow it to rotate freely.
3. Grasp the lens by the center ring and rotate the lens until the image is properly
anamorphic:
Wrong Position
Correct Position
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.)

Note that some aspect ratios are unavailable and/or not useful with certain types of
source material. The optimal setting depends on a number of factors, such as:
• 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
component. Most modern DVD/BD players and set-top boxes have such controls.
• Viewer preference (original aspect ratio with “black bars,” or a full-screen presentation

The VX-6000d 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.
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 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

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.
• 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.

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.

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.

the source signal for HDMI, RGB, and component connections.
• The default setting, Auto, functions as follows:
• HDMI: If the Auxiliary Video Information (AVI) infoframe contains color space and/or
range data, the VX-6000d uses that information. Otherwise, for RGB sources, the
VX-6000d 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 VX-6000d 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 VX-6000d 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 VX-6000d 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.
If you are using the VX-6000d with a projector is equipped with the Runco CineWide with
AutoScope system, assign at least one trigger output (the same one to which the lens
motor is connected) to the Cinema and Virtual Cinema aspect ratios.

6. External Control
In addition to using the DHD Controller front-panel keypad or remote control unit, there
are two methods of controlling the VX-6000d 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 DHD Controller with a home theater automation/control system or a PC
running terminal emulation software, connect it to your control system or PC as shown in
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
allows 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):

RVR calibration):
Cinema Standards Measurement System (CSMS)
Specifications
-
-
Brightness: 17.3 to 29.8 foot-Lamberts (fL)
Contrast Ratio: 285:1 to 360:1
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: 468 to 801 ANSI Lumens
Contrast Ratio: 285:1 to 360:1
These specifications are obtained by calibrating the projector as
described above for CSMS measurements.

-
Light Output: 1750 ANSI Lumens
Contrast Ratio: 4450:1 to 5000:1
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
