    Computer While there are many different ways to connect your source equipment to your DHD 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 some VCR’s and camcorders.

    • DVI 1 / DVI 2 These are High Definition Digital Video Interface (DVI) inputs; Runco recommends using these digital inputs whenever possible. Using the DVI 1 and DVI 2 inputs ensures the highest video quality because the signal is carried in the digital domain throughout the entire signal path, from source component output, through the DHD and finally into the plasma.

    SHARPNESS adjusts the amount of high-frequency detail in the image. This can be adjusted to the preference of the user. Keep in mind that when SHARPNESS is decreased, fine details in the image will become ‘soft’; when it is increased, fine details will become sharper but will also make the picture appear ‘noisy’ if adjusted too high. All the picture adjustments (contrast, brightness, color, tint and sharpness) must be saved manually to Custom 1 or Custom 2 under ISF presets menu.
