  • Page 63: Configure Lens Motor Trigger (Cinewide With Autoscope)

    Installation CineWide with AutoScope maintains constant image height independent of the aspect Configure Lens Motor ratio, while using the full display resolution of the projector. It accomplishes this by moving Trigger (CineWide with the anamorphic lens in front of the primary lens when widescreen material is being viewed. AutoScope) When the viewer transitions back to 16:9 or 4:3 source material, the anamorphic lens moves out of the light path.
  • Page 64 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. Signature Cinema™ SC-50d/SC-60d Installation/Operation Manual...

    External Control 6. External Control In addition to using the DHD Controller front-panel keypad or remote control unit, there are three methods of controlling the SC-50d/SC-60d and DHD Controller externally: • Using a serial (RS-232) link to send ASCII commands and receive responses to those commands.
  • Page 104 External Control 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 (+ >).
