6.1 
RS-232 Connection 
and Port Configuration
To interface the DHD Controller with a home theater automation/control system or a PC 
running terminal emulation software, connect it to your control system or PC as shown in 
Figure 3-18. 
Configure the RS-232 controller or PC serial port as follows: no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop 
bit and no flow control. Set the baud rate to 19200, to match that of the DHD Controller 
RS-232 port. 
6.2 
Serial Command 
Syntax
Serial commands to the DHD Controller take the following form:
 Commands are not case-sensitive. 
 For a single command that takes no parameters, type the command followed by a 
carriage return; for example, to set the aspect ratio to Letterbox, type 
LETTERBOX
 . 
 For a single command that takes a parameter, type the command, a space or a 
comma and the desired value followed by a carriage return; for example, to set the 
brightness to -10, type BRIGHTNESS
 -10  or 
BRIGHTNESS,-10
 . 
 You can also send a string of multiple commands on a single line, separated by 
commas. For example, COMPOSITE,BRIGHTNESS
 100,ANAMORPHIC  
switches to the Composite video input, sets the brightness to 100 and sets the aspect 
ratio to Anamorphic. Command strings can be up to 255 characters long. 
 
6. Serial Communications
Avoid combining the ON or POWER 1 commands with other commands 
on a single line. After sending ON or POWER 1, allow at least five (5) 
seconds for the DHD
 Controller to power up. If you have enabled the 
ISF splash screen (refer to 
Splash Configure on page 81), allow 15 
seconds for the DHD Controller to power up. 
Once it does, it will accept and properly execute multiple serial 
commands.

MINARY
Table 6-1 lists the RS-232 command set. The “Parameter (min/max)” column shows the 
valid parameter ranges, or “NA” for commands that take no parameters. 
When you enter a valid command, the DHD Controller executes it and acknowledges it 
with a plus sign on the command line (+ >). When you enter an invalid command – one 
that is misspelled or followed by values outside the valid range for that command – the 
DHD Controller ignores it and returns a minus sign (- >).

The following serial commands are meant to emulate buttons on the remote control or DHD Con-

the IR remote only you’ll be doing so via serial commands. These commands provide active OSD 
responses just like the IR remote.

Brightness and Contrast:Cinema Standards Measurement System (CSMS) 
Specifications
- Brightness (with 2.0-kW lamp): 331.0 foot-Lamberts (fL)
- Contrast Ratio (with 2.0-kW lamp): 243:1 - 485:1
These measurements are taken from the projector in a controlled, 
home theater environment. All measurements are made to 
ANSI/NAPM IT7.228-1997 specifications using the Photo Research 
PR-650 SpectraColorimeter and Minolta LS-100 Luminance Meter, 
Video Essentials test DVD and a 1.3 gain, 72-inch wide screen. The 
projector is calibrated to a color temperature of 6,500K and has a 
minimum of 150 hours of usage.
The foot-Lambert (fL) is the unit of measurement used in commercial 
movie theaters to express image brightness at the screen surface. The 
Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) specifies 
16 fL as the target image brightness for film-based projectors using an 
open gate (without film in the projector). More importantly, today 
SMPTE specifies 12 fL as the target image brightness in Digital 
Cinema theaters. The foot-Lambert measurement is dependent on 
screen size, screen gain and projector light output.
Home Theater Calibration Specifications
- Light Output (with 2.0-kW lamp): 6887 ANSI Lumens 
- Contrast Ratio (with 2.0-kW lamp): 243:1 - 485:1
These specifications are obtained by calibrating the projector as 
described above for CSMS measurements. 
Industry-Standard Specifications
- 9000 ANSI Lumens, minimum, with 2.0-kW lamp
- Contrast Ratio: 1500:1 - 2800:1
These are typical projector brightness and contrast specifications 
found in most companies’ sales literature. Runco includes these 
measurements in its literature to allow for direct comparison with other 
manufacturers’ projectors. These measurements are typically taken at 
9,000K to 13,000K to get expected performance data when the 
projector is used in professional, commercial and industrial displays.
Power Requirements: 200 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 30 Amps
Operating Environment:41°F to 95°F (5°C to 35°C), 20% to 80% humidity 
(non-condensing) 
External Cooling Requirement: 600 CFM, minimum
Dimensions:See Figure 7-1 and Figure 7-2
Weight (without lens):342 lbs. (155.1 kg)
Regulatory Approvals:Complies with FCC, CE C-Tick
Limited Warranty: Projector: Two (2) years parts and labor from the date of 
delivery to the end user.
Lamp: 1000 hours or six (6) months, whichever comes first. 
Specifications are subject to change without notice.
