Note Installation must be performed by a qualified custom video installation specialist. For Details, Refer to page... Procedure EL IM IN A R Step Y Table 3-1.
Installation 3.3 Installation Considerations 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. Installation Type ➤ 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. Table 3-2.
Installation In general, minimize or eliminate light sources directed at the screen. Contrast ratio in your images will be noticeably reduced if light directly strikes the screen, such as when a shaft of light from a window or floodlight falls on the image. Images may then appear washed out and less vibrant. Ambient Light Throw distance is the distance measured from the front of the projector to the screen.
Installation Table 3-3 lists the available X-200i Series lens options and their associated throw ratios. Table 3-3. X-200i Lens Options and Throw Ratios (Note) X-200i + Standard Lens 1.85 – 2.40 X-200i/CineWide (Whitney Lens) Throw Range in inches, with 108 x 60.75-inch (1.78:1) Screen Throw Ratio Throw Range in with inches, with Primary 144 x 60.75-inch (2.35:1) Screen Lens and Anamorphic Minimum Maximum Minimum Maximum Lens 199.80 EL IM IN A R (n/a) 259.
Installation Proper placement of the projector relative to the screen will yield a rectangular, perfectly-centered image that completely fills the screen. Vertical and Horizontal Position 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. See Figure 3-3.
Installation 100% Width Lens Shift (1.0 x W) 50% Width Lens Shift (0.5 x W) Screen Center PR EL IM IN A R Y 0% Screen Width (W) 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 3-5.

Unless you select Default (see below), this control affects all sources, not just the active source. • Custom 1 and Custom 2 contain the factory default settings when the projector is initially turned on.
Operation Overscan: Some television programs are produced based on the assumption that older television sets may not display the outer edges of the broadcast picture area. Overscan effectively hides these inactive, outer edges of the image. Choose one of the following: • Off: This setting leaves the image as-is.
Operation 3D Control: Select 3D Control from the Main Menu to set the following options related to formatting and delivery of HDMI 3D content. • 3D Mode: Select 3D Mode from the 3D Control menu to specify how the X-200i processes the “left eye” and “right eye” image components. • Choose Auto to have the X-200i determine the appropriate 3D or 2D mode based on the HDMI vendor-specific InfoFrame data. This is the default setting. • Choose Off to watch all content, including that mastered in 3D, in 2D.
Operation • 1080p24 Output: This control selects how 24Hz 3D content will be processed in an active 3D system. This lower frame rate can lead to excessive flickering, creating a need for frame rate conversion (FRC). Choose one of the following: • 96Hz employs a 2:2 cadence. • 144Hz uses a 3:3 cadence. Note Due to bandwidth restrictions, the 144Hz mode only provides 1004 lines. The unused lines are set to black and evenly subtracted from the top and bottom of the image.
Operation Y Brightness: On your external test pattern source, select a PLUGE pattern. (PLUGE is an acronym for “Picture Line-Up Generation Equipment.”) Figure 4-5 shows a typical PLUGE pattern. EL IM IN A R Below Black Above Black Figure 4-5.

The value chosen here corresponds to the power variable in this equation: Output = InputPower The X-200i applies this gamma curve to all three primary color channels (red, green and blue). Used correctly, the Gamma control can improve contrast while maintaining good details for blacks and whites.
Operation • REC709 chooses the REC709 color gamut. • Select SMPTE-C to choose the SMPTE-C color gamut. • Select EBU to choose the EBU color gamut. • Select Native to use REC709 for cyan, magenta, and yellow and uncorrected values for red, green, and blue. • Select PCE to use the Personal Color Equalizer feature of the X-200i. PCE lets you define a custom color gamut. Refer to PCE on page 67 for instructions on how to do this. Table 4-2.
Operation RGB Adjust: To remove any trace of color from the white areas of the projected image, choose RGB Adjust from the Advanced Image menu and press ENTER. This displays the RGB Adjust sub-menu, shown at right. • Gain: Use the Gain controls to correct color imbalances in the bright areas of the image. A good way to do this is to use a test pattern consisting mostly of solid white areas, such as an 80 IRE “window” pattern.
Operation • Sync Level (Component sources only): Select Sync Level to adjust the voltage level of the X-200i Sync signal detection circuitry. Sync Level adjustment is occasionally necessary when a DVD player or HDTV source signal drops “below black” (for example, during scenes with explosions or when subtitles are present) and causes the projector to temporarily lose sync. If the Sync Level from the source is persistently too low, the projector won’t sync with the source at all.
Operation White Balance: To precisely adjust the white point associated with the custom color gamut, choose White Balance from the PCE sub-menu. These controls operate identically to the Gain controls in the RGB Adjust menu (described on page 66). Use the controls in the System menu, shown in Figure 4-10, to change the display orientation and perform other, common installation tasks. PR EL IM IN A R Y System ➤ Figure 4-10.
Operation Blank Screen: Select Blank Screen from the System menu to choose the color of the blank screen that appears when no source signal is present. The options are Black, Blue and White. The default is Black. Auto Power Off: Set Auto Power Off to On to have the X-200i turn itself off after 20 minutes of inactivity (no source signal present). Auto Power On: Setting Auto Power On to On causes the projector to automatically power up when AC power is present.
Operation Select Control from the Main Menu to set various options related to control of the projector. EL IM IN A R Y Control ➤ PR Trigger 1: Select Trigger 1 from the Control menu to specify when the Trigger 1 port outputs 12 volts. There is a three-second delay before activation to prevent operation while selecting an aspect ratio. • AutoScope causes the port to output 12 volts whenever the the Cinema or Virtual Cinema aspect ratio is active.
Operation Infrared Remote: Select Infrared Remote from the Control menu to specify the remote IR code set to which the X-200i responds. The default is Normal. Choose Code 2 if other equipment in the theater responds to commands from the X-200i remote control in ways that are unexpected or undesirable. Choose Code 2 to disable IR communication altogether. When you select a different remote code set on the X-200i, you must re-program the remote control unit to use that same code set.
Operation You can also perform various diagnostic tasks, such as displaying test patterns, from this menu. System Information: Select System Information from the Service menu to view information that uniquely identifies your projector: its Model Name, Serial Number, installed Software Version and FPGA Version. Should you ever need to contact Runco Technical Support, this information will help them answer your questions and/or resolve product performance issues.

6. External Control In addition to using the X-200i keypad or remote control unit, there are three methods of controlling the projector externally: • Using a serial (RS-232) link to send ASCII commands and receive responses to those commands. • Using discrete infrared (IR) codes to program a third-party remote control unit. Y • Using an HDMI connection to send Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) commands from a BD player or other source component that supports CEC.
External Control Key Commands: The syntax for key commands is simple: ky [CR] Some key command examples: ky menu[CR] Bring up or cancel menu display. ky cur.up[CR] Up arrow. The response from the projector for key commands is ACK: followed by the same command in UPPERCASE.

External Control If an errcode ? command returns one of the following values, you have encountered a likely system error requiring the attention of a qualified service technician. Try resetting the projector by powering it off, allowing it to cool and powering it on again. Refer to Table 6-3 and contact your dealer if the problem persists. The specific code number identifies the source of the error detected, and is particularly useful in cases where the projector is far away.
External Control 6.2 Using Discrete IR Codes The X-200i accepts commands in the form of IR signals that conform to the NEC protocol. Each X-200i remote control button has an NEC control code associated with it. As shown in Table 6-1, there are two complete sets of remote codes (designated “Set 1” and “Set 2”). Through the on-screen menu, the projector can be configured to use either set. The reason for two sets is to allow control of more than one product in the same room without interference.
External Control The X-200i accepts and can respond to CEC command messages from a disc player, satellite receiver or DVR/set-top box via an HDMI connection. Using CEC, the X-200i can perform the following actions: 6.3 Using HDMI CEC Messages • Turn itself on and select the correct input when the source component initiates playback of a disc or recorded program. • Turn the source component on when you switch to its corresponding input on the X-200i.
