Table 4-2 lists the x- and y-coordinates for each color temperature preset in “Simple” 
mode. 
 Color Gamut: Select Color Gamut from the Display Color - Common Settings menu to 
select a color gamut (range) that may be different from the default color gamut. 
Each setting defines the precise hue of each primary (red, green and blue) and 
secondary (yellow, cyan and magenta) color component used to generate the millions 
of colors produced in displays. Changing this setting relocates the “triangle” for 
possible colors (see Figure 4-7). For example, changing the x/y coordinates for red 
moves the color closer to either orange or violet, which in turn affects all displayed 
colors having a red component.
 The default setting, Auto, automatically chooses the appropriate color gamut:
SMPTE C for NTSC, 480i and 480p sources. 
EBU for PAL, SECAM, 576i and 576p sources.
REC709 for all other sources.
 Select REC709 to use the color gamut defined in ITU-R BT.709-5.
 Select SMPTE-C to use the color gamut defined in SMPTE 170M-1999.
 Select EBU to use the color gamut defined in EBU Tech. 3213-E.
 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 LS-12HBd. PCE lets you 
define a custom color gamut. Refer to the next section, PCE, for instructions on how to 
do this.

Table 4-3 lists the Color Gamut settings and associated x- and y-coordinates for each 
primary and secondary color component. 
To use the Personal Color Equalizer to define a custom color gamut, choose the 
“PCE” Color Gamut setting (refer to Color Gamut on page 75). Then, choose PCE 
from the Display Color - Common Settings menu and press ENTER. 
PCE provides the ability to define a custom color gamut in terms of a “white point” and 
primary (red, green, blue) color points; see Figure 4-7. 
 RGBW (Red, Green, Blue, White): To precisely adjust the primary color points and 
white point associated with the custom color gamut, choose RGBW from the PCE 
sub-menu. Each control operates only on the color specified. Surrounding colors are 
linearly interpolated based on their distance from each of these colors.

The Auto Color Enable and Test Pattern Enable checkboxes let you choose what to 
display on-screen while making these adjustments. These controls work together as 
follows:
 
 YCM (Yellow, Cyan, Magenta): To precisely adjust the secondary color points 
associated with the custom color gamut, choose YCM from the PCE sub-menu. Each 
control operates only on the color specified. Surrounding colors are linearly interpolated 
based on their distance from each of these colors. 
Select Lamp from the Display Color - Projector Settings menu to adjust the 
projector lamp brightness. 
Power (230W or 260W): To supply a constant wattage to the lamp, select Power 
(230W or 260W) from the Lamp menu to set the lamp power level. You can choose 
to run the lamp as bright as possible (this is the default setting) or you can choose a 
lower setting. Generally, lower lamp output prolongs the life of a lamp, but 
decreases brightness.

Input Image: The Input Image controls are functionally similar to those in the Picture 
menu (refer to page 63), but are accessible only by entering the Calibration menu 
passcode. 
Input Color: The Input Color controls are similar to those in the Display Color menu (see 
above), but adjust the color balance of the incoming signal. These settings are also saved 
independently for each input and display mode.
set (HD1, HD2 and Component/SCART inputs only): These controls 
operate similarly to those in the Display Color - Common Settings menu (described 
on page 73), but affect the Y, Pb and Pr signal components rather than the red, green 
and blue channels. 
 Chroma Delay: use the Chroma Delay control to correct a mis-aligned image from a 
composite video source. Chroma delay in an image causes color shifts to occur to the 
left of the vertical edge transitions, producing artificial shadows or a “halo” effect. If 
necessary, adjust this setting to eliminate them. 
se Filter: To apply noise filtering to the input signal, select Noise Filter from the 
Input Color menu. The Noise Filter is useful for clearing up noisy images from 480i 
video sources. 
Use the left- or right-arrow buttons to select the desired amount of noise reduction, 
keeping in mind that higher settings (which reduce high frequencies) may also “soften” 
the image.
Save ISF Night/Save ISF Day: Whenever you make a change to the ISF settings, you 
should always save it. Select Save ISF Night or Save ISF Day from the Calibration menu to 
do this.The Input Image settings establish the “zero point” for the Picture 
menu settings, whose values represent offsets from the Input 
Image settings. For example, if you set Brightness to 10 in this 
menu, setting Brightness to 10 in the Picture menu results in an 
actual setting value of 20 (10+10).

   Copy/Paste - Memory Preset: You can copy and paste settings from one memory 
preset to another. This gives you a convenient starting point for creating a new preset 
based on an existing one, to make the calibration process less time-consuming. 
For example, you can use the Copy/Paste Memory Preset feature to:
 Apply settings from HDMI 1 to HDMI 2, or from HD1 to HD2.
 Calibrate an input for 720p source signals, then use those settings for 1080i sources.
 Duplicate ISF Night settings for a given source and signal format and save them in the 
Custom 1 memory preset.
To use this feature, select Copy/Paste from the Calibration menu, then select Memory 
Preset. 
set - Copy Settings: Select Copy Settings from the Copy/Paste 
Memory Preset menu to place the settings for the current input source, signal format 
(resolution and frame rate) and memory preset onto a “clipboard,” which is a temporary 
memory location. When you do, the message “Settings Copied” briefly appears 
on-screen. The Copy/Paste menu then re-appears, indicating the source of the copied 
settings. 
set - Paste Settings: To apply the settings on the clipboard to a 
different input source, signal format and/or memory preset, do any or all of the 
following:
 Switch to another input (for example, from HD1 to HD2).
 Change the output signal format at the source (for example, from 720p/60 to 
1080i/60).
 Switch to another Memory Preset (for example, from ISF Night to Custom 1).
Then, select Paste Settings from the Copy/Paste Memory Preset menu. If you want 
to keep these new settings, you must save them! (Refer to Save ISF Night/Save 
ISF Day on page 78 or Memory Presets on page 70.)
  Copy/Paste - Aspect Ratio: You can also copy and paste certain settings, such as 
those for Output Shift, Image Alignment (refer to page 80) or Screen Masking (refer to 
page 80) from one aspect ratio or “screen” (refer to Screen on page 62) to another. 
To do this, select Copy/Paste from the Calibration menu, then select Aspect Ratio. 
spect Ratio - Copy Settings: Select Copy Settings from the Copy/Paste Aspect 
Ratio menu to place the Output Shift, Image Alignment and Screen Masking settings

spect Ratio - Paste Settings: To apply the Output Shift, Image Alignment and 
Screen Masking settings on the clipboard to a different aspect ratio and/or screen, do 
either of the following:
 Switch to another aspect ratio (for example, from 16:9 to Cinema).
 Switch from Screen 1 to Screen 2 or vice versa.
Then, select Paste Settings from the Copy/Paste Aspect Ratio menu. The new settings 
are saved automatically.
Output Shift: The Left/Right, Up/Down, Width and Height controls in the Output Shift 
menu are similar to those in the Input Position menu, except that they change the 
characteristics of the output signal. These settings are saved independently for each 
aspect ratio and screen selection (refer to Screen on page 62). 
Screen Masking: This control adjusts the amount of cropping on each edge of the 
output image.  This differs from the regular Overscan control in two ways:  
 It allows separate adjustments on each edge; and 
 It is saved per aspect ratio, per screen (as opposed to per connector, per mode).  
This is useful for installations where the aspect ratio of the screen doesn’t exactly match 
the aspect ratio of the display.
Image Alignment: Use the controls in the Image Alignment menu to ensure proper image 
geometry; that is, a perfectly rectangular projected image with no keystoning or pincushion. 
For detailed instructions, refer to Adjusting the Image Geometry on page 52. 
Adjustment Mode (during 3D Operation): By default, any command or control 
message you send using the remote control, front-panel keypad or RS-232 interface is 
acted upon by both the Primary and Secondary scalers in the Dimension Digital 
Controller. In some cases — for example, when using the lens controls or aligning the “left 
eye” or “right eye” output images — you may need to address a command to only the 
Primary or Secondary scaler. To do this, select Adjustment Mode from the Calibration 
menu and set it to Primary or Secondary. The Main Menu title changes to “Runco Video 
(Pri.)” or “Runco Video (Sec.)” when you do this.
Splash Configure: Use the Splash Configure menu to control the appearance and 
behavior of the “splash” screen that appears on the display upon power-up. 
SF Calibrated/ISF Other: You can have the LS-12HBd display the 
owner’s name, your name, the phrase “ISF Calibrated” and/or any other string, up to 
30 characters in length. 
Use the up or down cursor button to select a character. Use the right and left cursor 
buttons to change the cursor position. Press MENU when you have finished entering 
text. 
Splash Timer: When you turn on the LS-12HBd, it projects a welcome screen with the 
Runco and ISF logos, along with the personalized information you enter as described 
above. Select Splash Timer from the Splash Configure menu to set the amount of time 
for which this screen appears. The range is from 5 to 60 seconds, in one-second 
increments. Press   or   to set the timer, then press MENU. The Secondary OSD menus are only visible during 3D operation. In 
2D mode, you will only see the image from the Primary scaler, 
regardless of this setting. If you want to adjust the Secondary scaler 
while in 2D mode, you must use the built-in keypad and VFD on the 
Dimension Digital Controller.

the 3D glasses. If you see only the 
left-eye portion, then the system is 
correctly configured for 3D. 
Normally, the Primary scaler 
processes the left-eye image; the 
Secondary, the right-eye image. 
To change this, use the Reverse 
Eyes control in the 3D Processing 
menu (refer to Reverse Eyes on
