Page 9: Pl-43Hdx And Vivix™ Pfp™ Controller Operation
PL-43HDX & VIVIX™ PFP™ CONTROLLER OPERATION General Overview The PL-43HDX is actually a two-piece system- the Plasma display itself, and the Vivix™ PFP™ Controller. The Vivix PFP Controller is a Digital Scaler that converts NTSC Video, S-Video or Component video to the native resolution of the Plasma display- 1024 x 768. Typically, fixed-pixel devices provide a much more resolved and artifact-free image when they are fed a progressive signal matched to the display’s native resolution- exactly what the Vivix PFP Controller does. -

Page 22: Side Bar Level
‘4:3 burn’ To minimize this problem, the PL-43HDX can provide SIDE BARS, which will put grey bars up on either side of a small 4:3 image (see 'side bar area' in the drawing above). This illuminates the otherwise unused portion of the display, minimizing a potential 4:3 burn. -
Page 23: Image Shift
While using IMAGE SHIFT will not cause any problems with your display, it is possible to use too much image shift, which could cause the image to shake or disappear. Therefore, Runco recommends that image shift be done with the display device itself whenever possible. -

(letterbox), and the result is ‘black bars’ above and below the image: Obviously, watching a movie like this does not lend itself to a truly cinematic experience! This is why Runco invented the first-ever multiple aspect-ratio projection system back in 1991, so true movie-lovers can watch actual widescreen (letterbox) movies on a WIDESCREEN!
