Runco VX-2i Owner’s Operating Manual 41 6.1 RS-232 Connection and Port Configuration To interface the VX-2i 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 3-11. 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 VX-2i RS-232 port. 6.2 Serial Command Syntax Serial commands to the VX-2i 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. 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 VX-2i 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 VX-2i ignores it and returns a minus sign (- >). 6.

Specifications 46 Runco VX-2i Owner’s Operating Manual Brightness and Contrast: Cinema Standards Measurement System (CSMS) Specifications - Brightness: 52.1 foot-Lamberts (fL) - Contrast Ratio: 217:1 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: 1227 ANSI Lumens - Contrast Ratio: 217:1 These specifications are obtained by calibrating the projector as described above for CSMS measurements. Industry-Standard Specifications - Light Output: 2500 ANSI Lumens - Contrast Ratio: 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.
