Operation Runco RS-440 Installation/Operation Manual 39 PREL IMINARY Source SelectChoose Source Select from the Main Menu to switch video sources. The active source is indicated by an arrow to its left; in this example, Video is the active source. To select a different source, use the or button to highlight it and press ENTER. Picture AdjustUse the controls in the Picture Adjust menu to calibrate your RS-440 for optimum picture quality. To access the Picture Adjust menu, press MENU, highlight Picture Adjust and press ENTER. To adjust a setting, use the or button to highlight it and press ENTER. Use the or button to change the setting. When finished, press EXIT. The RS-440 has been designed to incorporate setup and calibration standards established by the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF). The ISF has developed carefully crafted, industry-recognized standards for optimal video performance and has implemented a training program for technicians and installers to use these standards to obtain optimal picture quality from Runco video display devices. Accordingly, Runco recommends that setup and calibration be performed by an ISF certified installation technician. All signal types require separate processing. Therefore, you need to calibrate each input separately. Although it may be possible to obtain satisfactory picture quality using the naked eye and regular program material, Runco recommends using the following calibration tools for best results: External test pattern source – Ovation Multimedia, Digital Video Essentials or AVIA test DVD or equivalent. A blue filter (provided with many test DVDs), for color level and tint adjustments. Connect your test pattern source to the input that you are calibrating and proceed as follows. Perform the adjustments in the order listed here. Picture Memory: For each input, the RS-440 lets you store picture quality settings as presets that you can recall at a later time. You can create up to three presets per input and resolution, to accommodate changing lighting conditions or viewer preferences. To recall a picture memory preset, highlight Picture Memory in the Picture Adjust menu and press ENTER. Then, press or to select “Custom,” “ISF Night” or “ISF Day” and press ENTER again.

Operation 40 Runco RS-440 Installation/Operation Manual PREL IMINARY Brightness: On your external test pattern source, select a PLUGE pattern. (PLUGE is an acronym for “Picture Line-Up Generation Equipment.”) Figure 4-2 shows a typical PLUGE pattern. Figure 4-2. Typical PLUGE Pattern for Adjusting Brightness PLUGE patterns vary but generally consist of some combination of black, white and gray areas against a black background. The example above includes two vertical bars and four shaded boxes. Select Brightness from the Picture Adjust menu and press ENTER. Adjust the level so that: The darkest black bars disappear into the background. The dark gray areas are barely visible. The lighter gray areas are clearly visible. The white areas are a comfortable level of true white. The image contains only black, gray and white (no color). Contrast: On your external test pattern source, select a stepped, gray-bar pattern like the one shown in Figure 4-3. Figure 4-3. Typical Gray Bar Pattern for Adjusting Contrast Select Contrast from the Picture Adjust menu and press ENTER. Adjust the contrast to a point just below which the white rectangle starts to increase in size. Below Black Above Black
Operation Runco RS-440 Installation/Operation Manual 41 PREL IMINARY Color: On your external test pattern source, select a color bar pattern like the one shown in Figure 4-4. Figure 4-4. Typical Color Bar Pattern for Adjusting Color Saturation and Tint Select Color from the Picture Adjust menu and press ENTER. While looking at the color bar pattern through a blue filter, adjust the color saturation level until the outermost (gray and blue) color bars appear to be a single shade of blue: Brightness and Contrast controls are interactive. A change to one may require a subtle change to the other in order to achieve the optimum setting. Note gray yellow cyan green magenta red blue gray yellow cyan green magenta red blue
Operation 42 Runco RS-440 Installation/Operation Manual PREL IMINARY Tint: Tint or “hue” is essentially the ratio of red to green in the color portion of the image. When tint is decreased, the image appears redder; when it is increased the image appears greener. To set the tint, select Tint from the Adjustment menu and press ENTER. While looking at the color bar pattern through a blue filter, adjust the tint level until the cyan and magenta color bars (on either side of the green bar) appear to be a single shade of blue. Sharpness: “Sharpness” is the amount of high-frequency detail in the image. To adjust sharpness, select Sharpness from the Picture Adjust menu and press ENTER. On your external test pattern source, select a pattern like the one shown in Figure 4-5. Adjust as needed, looking for white edges around the transitions from black to gray and differently-sized lines in the “sweep” patterns at the top and bottom. Lower the sharpness setting to eliminate them. Figure 4-5. Typical Test Pattern for Adjusting Sharpness Gamma: The normal gamma setting of 2.2 is correct for almost all signals and conditions. If excess ambient light washes out the image and it becomes difficult or impossible to see details in dark areas, lower the gamma setting to compensate. This will improve contrast while maintaining good details for blacks. Conversely, if the image is washed out and unnatural, with excessive detail in black areas, increase the setting. Again, good gamma improves contrast while maintaining good details for blacks and whites. Color Temp.: To choose a color temperature setting, select Color Temp. from the Picture Adjust menu and press ENTER. (Color temperature defines the “color of gray.”) The choices are 5400K, 6500K, 7500K and 8500K. The default setting, 6500K, is appropriate for most situations. Higher settings produce a “bluer” picture; lower ones impart a reddish hue to the image. Like the Brightness and Contrast controls, the color and tint controls are interactive. A change to one may require a subtle change to the other in order to achieve the optimum setting. Note
Operation Runco RS-440 Installation/Operation Manual 43 PREL IMINARY Color Space: Select Color Space from the Picture Adjust menu to choose the color space of the source signal for HDMI, RGB and component connections. The default setting, Auto, functions as follows: HDMI/DVI-D: If the Auxiliary Video Information (AVI) infoframe contains color space and/or range data, the RS-440 uses that information. Otherwise, for RGB sources, the RS-440 uses the RGB-Video color space. For component SDTV and EDTV resolutions, SDTV is used. For other component video resolutions, HDTV is used. DVI-A: If Hsync or Vsync signals are present, the RS-440 uses the RGB-PC color space. Otherwise, SDTV is used for SDTV and EDTV sources, and HDTV for all other sources. Component: For SDTV and EDTV resolutions, the RS-440 uses the SDTV color space. For all other resolutions HDTV is used. In most cases, the Auto setting determines the correct color space to use. If it does not, you can force the RS-440 to use a specific color space. Choose one of the following: HDTV sets the color space matrix to that defined in ITU-R BT.709. SDTV sets the color space matrix to that defined in ITU-R BT.601. RGB-PC uses RGB color space and sets black at 0,0,0 RGB and white at 255,255,255 RGB, assuming an 8-bit image. RGB-Video uses RGB color space and sets black at 16,16,16 RGB and white at 235,235,235, assuming an 8-bit image, to correspond to the luminance values defined in digital component standards. BrilliantColor™: Select BrilliantColor™ from the Picture Adjust menu to enable (On) or disable (Off) BrilliantColor processing, which improves brightness in grays and secondary colors by using the spoke light from the color wheel. Black Level: Select Black Level from the Picture Adjust menu to compensate for incoming elevated black levels present in some Composite video and S-Video sources. (This control does not affect other source types.) Set it to 0 IRE if blacks appear elevated (dark gray). If blacks appear “crushed” (too dark), set it to 7 IRE. Save Settings: To store changes to picture quality settings for the current input and resolution in the “Custom” Picture Memory, select Save Settings from the Picture Adjust menu. To recall this preset at a later time, press the CUST button on the remote control or select “Custom” from the Picture Memory menu (see above). You should save changes to any of the following settings to a preset; otherwise they will be lost when a new input source or resolution is selected: Aspect ratio (saved per source) Picture adjustments (brightness, contrast, color saturation, tint, sharpness, gamma, color temperature, color space, BrilliantColor™ and Black Level) RGB/YUV signal settings (H. Position, V. Position, Clock, Phase) Setup menu settings (Sync Threshold, DNR, Film Mode, Lamp Power) White Balance settings (gain and offset) Reset to Defaults: To reset all picture quality settings for the current input and resolution to their factory-default values, select Reset to Defaults from the Picture Adjust menu. To store changes to the ISF Night or ISF Day Picture Memory preset, select Save Settings in the ISF menu (refer to ISF on page 52). You must enter a passcode to access the ISF menu. Note
