  • Page 32: Vertical And Horizontal Position

    Installation Vertical and Horizontal Proper placement of the projector relative to the screen will yield a rectangular, Position 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 33: Horizontal Lens Shift (Example Only)

    Installation Vertical Lens Shift (Standard Q-750i): The Q-750i provides up to 60% of vertical lens shift up or down. For example, with a 100 x 56 inch (1.78:1) screen, you can shift the image up to 33.60 inches (0.85 meters) above or below the screen center. Vertical Lens Shift (Q-750i/CineWide or Q-750i/CineWide with AutoScope): The Q-750i provides up to 25% of upward vertical lens shift and up to 60% of downward vertical lens shift.
  • Page 34: Folded Optics

    Installation 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.

  • Page 54: Installing And Adjusting The Cinewide Anamorphic Lens

    Installation 3.12 If you are installing a CineWide-equipped projector, proceed as follows to install and adjust the anamorphic lens. Installing and Adjusting the CineWide Anamorphic It is extremely important that the primary lens is properly Note Lens adjusted before you install the anamorphic lens. Ensure that the image from the primary lens is perfectly centered on the screen.
  • Page 55 Installation Attaching 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 56 Installation Select the Appropriate CineWide Scaling Method: CineWide and CineWide with AutoScope both produce the same image geometry for a given aspect ratio (refer to Table 4-2). However, when the viewer selects the 16:9, 4:3, Letterbox or VirtualWide aspect ratio, CineWide uses different scaling algorithms to compensate for the fact that the anamorphic lens is always in front of the primary lens.
  • Page 57 Installation 3. Slowly move the anamorphic lens into place (from right to left or vice versa) 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.
  • Page 58 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 Yaw: Loosen the Yaw/X-Adjustment Levers to allow the lens to pivot freely from side to side.
  • Page 59 Installation 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. Geometry: 1.
