Installation 3.2 Quick Setup Table 3-1 gives a quick overview of the CL-810 installation process. The sections following this one provide detailed instructions. Note Installation should be performed by a qualified custom video installation specialist. Y Table 3-1. Installation Overview Procedure PR EL IM IN A R Step For Details, Refer to page...
Installation 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. 3.3 Installation Considerations Choose the installation type that best suits your needs: front or rear screen, floor mount or inverted mount. Table 3-2 compares these various installation methods.
Installation Throw Distance ➤ Throw distance is the distance measured from the front of the projector to the screen. This is an important calculation in any projector installation as it determines whether or not you have enough room to install your projector with a desired screen size and if your image will be the right size for your screen. You can quickly estimate the throw distance by taking the width of the screen and multiplying it by the lens throw ratio; see Figure 3-1.
Installation Throw Ratio - CL-810 Ultra: Table 3-3 lists the available lens options for the CL-810 Ultra and their associated throw ratios. Table 3-3. CL-810 Ultra Lens Options and Throw Ratios Minimum Proteus A 0.67 (Fixed) Maximum Throw Range in Throw Ratio inches, with with Primary 126.9x54-inch (2.35:1) Lens and Screen Anamorphic Lens Minimum Maximum For rear-screen installations only. Contact Runco Technical Support for more information.
Installation Vertical and Horizontal ➤ Position 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 and screen center are aligned with each other, as shown in Figure 3-2.
Installation 100% Width Lens Shift (1.0 x W) 50% Width Lens Shift (0.5 x W) Screen Center EL IM IN A R Screen Width (W) Y 0% PR 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.
Installation Table 3-4 lists the lens shift limits for each available CL-810 lens, as percentages and absolute measurements with a 100 x 56 inch (1.78:1) screen. Table 3-4.
Installation In rear-screen applications where space behind the projector is limited, a mirror may be used to fold the optical path, as shown in Figure 3-5. The position of the projector and mirror must be accurately set. If you are considering this type of installation, contact your dealer for assistance. Folded Optics Screen Figure 3-5.
Installation 3.4 Installing the Optional CineWide/AutoScope Lens Motor (CL-810 Ultra only) If you are installing an CL-810 Ultra with the optional CineWide with AutoScope system, proceed as follows to install the AutoScope lens motor. Otherwise, skip this step and proceed with Mounting the CL-810 (page 25). Note 1. Do not install the CineWide lens yet, only the AutoScope lens motor. You will install the CineWide lens after you install the projector and adjust the primary lens. Y 2.
Installation Remove Projector Front Feet For ceiling installations, the adapters bring the mounting points for the projector mounting plate (included with the ceiling mount kit) from the bottom of the projector up and around the lens motor housing. For floor installations (where the projector is upright), the adapters allow the projector to lie flat on the mounting surface.
Installation Caution Position the AutoScope Lens Motor (item #5) as shown in Figure 3-8. Line up the eight mounting holes on the lens motor housing with those on the Lens Motor Mounting Plate. Secure the motor to the projector with the eight, 1/4-20 x 1/2” Phillips screws (item #6) provided for this purpose. PR EL IM IN A R Y Install Lens Motor ➤ DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN THE SCREWS. Figure 3-8.
Installation There are several methods for mounting the projector. Depending on your chosen installation, one method may be more suitable than another. 3.5 Mounting the CL-810 Floor Mounting (Upright) For fixed installations, and for those that want the projector out of sight or have a limited space for projector and audience, you can invert the CL-810 and suspend it from the ceiling using a specially-designed ceiling mount fixture.
Installation 3.6 Connections to the CL-810 Proceed as follows to connect the CL-810 to your video sources, external controller(s) -- if present -- and AC power. When connecting your equipment: • Turn off all equipment before making any connections. • Use the correct signal cables for each source. • Ensure that the cables are securely connected. Tighten the thumbscrews on connectors that have them. Y To access the connector panel, pull firmly on the cable access cover to open it.
Installation If your installation does not include an SDC-1: Connect your video sources to the CL-810 as shown and described in the sections that follow. HDMI/DVI Connections: See Figure 3-10. With an HDMI source, use the included HDMI-to-HDMI cable; with a DVI source, use the included DVI-to-HDMI cable. Use the HDMI input whenever possible.
Installation Progressive Component Video Connections: Connect your progressive component source (DVD player or HD set top box) to the COMP 2/RGB input as shown in Figure 3-12. EL IM IN A R Y S-VID S-VID / Y Pb Pr DTV or Progressive Component (YPbPr) Source PR Figure 3-12.
Installation Composite/S-Video/Component Video Connections: Use the included cables to connect your composite, S-Video and SD (480i) component video sources to the CL-810 as shown in Figure 3-13. PR EL IM IN A R Y S-VID S-VID / DTV Source, DVD Player, VCR, Satellite Receiver etc. Figure 3-13.
Installation RS-232 Controller ➤ Connection Connect a PC or home theater control/automation system (if present) to the RS-232 port on the CL-810; see Figure 3-14. Use a standard, 4-wire RJ-11 telephone cable, wired straight-through. For more information about using this connection, refer to Serial Communications on page 69.
Installation If your CL-810 is equipped with a CineWide with AutoScope system, use the cable supplied with the AutoScope Lens Motor to connect the motor to the 12-volt trigger output as shown in Figure 3-15. Y S-VID S-VID / EL IM IN A R 3.5-mm mini plug AutoScope Lens Motor (Rear) Power Switch AC Input PR Figure 3-15.
Installation Connecting to AC Power ➤ Projector: The CL-810 ships with various types of AC power cords. Choose the one that is appropriate to your locale. Power switch Plug the female end of the power cord into the AC receptacle on the rear of the projector (AC 100V ~ 240V). Then, connect the other end to your AC power source. EL IM IN A R Y AutoScope Lens Motor: With AutoScope-equipped projectors, an additional power cord is provided for the lens motor.
Installation 3.8 Changing the OSD Language The CL-810 OSD language is initially set to English, but can also display the menus in French, Spanish, Italian or German. To change the OSD language: 1. Press MENU. 2. Select Installation from the Main Menu and press ENTER. 3. Select Language from the Installation Menu and press ENTER. 4. Press or to highlight the desired language. (The change takes effect immediately.
Installation 3.11 Installing and Adjusting the CineWide Anamorphic Lens If you are installing a CineWide-equipped projector, proceed as follows to install and adjust the anamorphic lens. Note It is extremely important that the primary lens is properly adjusted before you install the anamorphic lens. Ensure that the image from the primary lens is perfectly centered on the screen. Y The standard CL-810/CineWide uses a prismatic-style anamorphic lens.
Installation Attaching Lens Mounting Assembly to Lens Motor Carriage 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 (item #7). Position the bracket so that the long slot at the bottom of the lens holder is perpendicular to the corresponding slots on the carriage plate. 3.
Installation Configure Lens Motor Trigger: 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.
Installation Adjusting the Height (Y): With the white field still on-screen, loosen the Height/Y Adjustment T-Screws on either side of the lens. Then, slowly move the anamorphic lens into place so that there are no shadows on the top or bottom of the screen: EL IM IN A R Y Too Low Correct position Too High When the height is properly set, tighten the Height Adjustment T-Screws to secure the lens in place.
Installation Adjusting the Yaw: Loosen the Yaw/X-Adjustment Levers to allow the lens to pivot freely from side to side. Then, angle the lens to even out any left-right pincushion distortion: EL IM IN A R Y Anamorphic Lens (Top View) Correct Position Wrong Position PR Once the proper lens angle has been set, firmly tighten the Yaw/X-Adjustment Levers to secure the lens in place. Geometry: 1. Input an anamorphic cross-hatch test pattern to the projector. 2.
Installation S CU FO Focus: Finally, rotate the Focus Ring on the anamorphic lens to fine-tune the optical focus. EL IM IN A R Y Standard CL-810/CineWide (Prismatic Lens): The standard CL-810 Anamorphic lens mount kit consists of everything shown in Figure 3-19. Some components shipped with your projector may differ slightly from what is shown in these instructions.
Installation Adjusting the Lens Height (Y): 1. Project a white field on the screen. 2. Ensure that the four Height (Y) Adjustment Screws are loose enough to allow vertical movement of the lens assembly. Y 3. Slowly move the anamorphic lens into place so that there are no shadows on the top or bottom of the screen: EL IM IN A R Too Low Correct position Too High 4. When the height is properly set, tighten the Height Adjustment Screws to secure the lens in place.
Installation Note There may be some pincushion distortion even after the lens is 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. CL-810 Ultra/CineWide (Cylindrical Lens): The CL-810 Ultra 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.
Installation EL IM IN A R Y 4. Attach the Anamorphic Lens (item #9) to the Lens Adapter Ring by threading it clockwise. Adjusting the Lens Height (Y): 1. Project a white field on the screen. PR 2. Ensure that the Height/Y-Adjustment T-Screws and Pitch Adjustment T-Screws are loose enough to allow vertical movement of the lens assembly. 3. Slowly move the anamorphic lens into place so that there are no shadows on the top or bottom of the screen: Too Low Correct position Too High 4.
Installation Y Correct Lens Angle EL IM IN A R Incorrect Lens Angle The anamorphic lens will almost always be angled with respect to the projector; this is normal. Once the proper lens angle has been set, firmly tighten the Pitch Adjustment T-Screws to secure the lens in place. Note There may be some pincushion distortion even after the lens is properly adjusted, especially at shorter throw distances.
