  • Page 31: Installation Considerations

    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. Choose the installation type that best suits your needs: front or rear screen, floor mount or inverted mount.
  • Page 32: Ambient Light

    Installation ➤ Ambient Light ➤ Throw Distance 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.

  • Page 34: Vertical And Horizontal Position

    Installation ➤ Vertical and Horizontal Position ➤ Vertical and Horizontal Lens Shift Proper placement of the projector relative to the screen will yield a rectangular, perfectly-centered image that completely fills the screen. 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.
  • Page 35: Horizontal Lens Shift (Example Only)

    100% Width Lens Shift (1.0 x W) Note: This is a general example of lens shift. Lenses vary in their shift capabilities. No particular lens or projector is used in this example. Figure 3-4. Horizontal Lens Shift (EXAMPLE ONLY) Vertical Lens Shift (Standard Q-750d): The Q-750d provides up to 60% of vertical lens shift up or down.
  • Page 36: Folded Optics

    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.
  • Page 37: 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 and/or air conditioning vents. Changes in temperature may cause drifts in the projector circuitry, which may affect performance. •...

  • Page 57: Installing And Adjusting The Cinewide Anamorphic Lens

    The Q-750d Anamorphic lens mount kit consists of everything shown in Figure 3-20. Some components shipped with your projector may differ slightly from what is shown in these instructions. If any items are missing or damaged, please contact your Runco dealer or Runco Customer Service at (800) 23-RUNCO.
  • Page 58 Installation Attach Lens Mounting Assembly to Lens Motor Carriage Plate or Fixed CineWide Base Plate: 1. Remove the two Yaw/X Adjustment Levers (item #8) from the bottom of the 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).
  • Page 59 Configure Lens Motor Trigger (Q-750d/CineWide with AutoScope only): CineWide with AutoScope maintains constant image height independent of the aspect ratio, while using the full display resolution of the projector. It accomplishes this by moving the anamorphic lens in front of the primary lens when widescreen material is being viewed. When the viewer transitions back to 16:9 or 4:3 source material, the anamorphic lens moves out of the light path.
  • Page 60 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. Correct position...

Then, angle the lens to even out any left-right pincushion distortion: Anamorphic Lens (Top View) Correct Position Wrong Position Once the proper lens angle has been set, firmly tighten the Yaw/X-Adjustment Levers to secure the lens in place.
  • Page 62 Installation 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 4.

  • Page 98 Colors have up to 50% higher contrast than Mercury or Xenon lamp systems. These are typical projector brightness and contrast specifications found in most companies’ sales literature. Runco includes these measurements in its literature to allow for direct comparison with other manufacturers’ projectors. These measurements are typically taken at 9,000K to 13,000K to get expected performance data when the projector is used in professional, commercial and industrial displays.
