Configure Lens Motor Trigger on Dimension Digital Controller: The anamorphic 
lens solution for the X-400d/X-450d maintains constant image height independent of the 
aspect ratio, while using the full display resolution of the projector. It accomplishes this by 
moving the anamorphic lens in front of the primary lens when widescreen material is being 
viewed. When the viewer transitions back to 16:9 or 4:3 source material, the anamorphic 
lens moves out of the light path.
Proceed as follows to configure the 12-volt trigger output for proper operation.
1. Project a 2.35:1 aspect ratio test pattern or other image on the screen.
2. On the Dimension Digital Controller remote control or front panel, press MENU.
3. Select Service from the Main Menu and enter the Service Menu passcode. 
4. Select Tr i g g e rs from the Service menu.
5. Assign the trigger output to which the lens motor is connected to the Cinema and 
Virtual Cinema aspect ratios. This enables the lens motor to move the anamorphic 
lens into position (in front of the primary lens) when either aspect ratio is selected.
6. Select the Cinema aspect ratio to move the anamorphic lens into position, if it isn’t 
already. To do this, press CINEMA on the Dimension Digital Controller remote control 
(Figure 2-6), or press   or  repeatedly with no menus visible on-screen. 
7. Proceed as described in the following sections to adjust the anamorphic lens. 
Horizontal Position (X) Adjustment: 
1. Project a white field on the screen.
2. Loosen the Yaw/X-Adjustment Levers underneath the lens. 
3. Slowly move the anamorphic lens into place (from right to left or vice versa) so that 
there are no shadows on either side of the screen: 
 
4. When the horizontal position is properly set, tighten the Yaw/X-Adjustment Levers to 
secure the lens in place.
You must enter a passcode to access the Service menu for the first 
time after turning on the system.

Adjusting the Height (Y): With the white field still on-screen, loosen the 
Height/Y Adjustment T-Screws on either side of the lens. Then, slowly move the 
anamorphic lens into place so that there are no shadows on the top or bottom of the 
screen: 
When the height is properly set, tighten the Height Adjustment T-Screws to secure the 
lens in place.
Adjusting the Pitch (Angle): Next, angle the lens to even out any top-to-bottom 
pincushion distortion. To do this, loosen the Pitch Adjustment T-Screws (directly below 
the Height/Y Adjustment T-Screws) on either side of the lens to allow it to pivot freely. 
Then, adjust the anamorphic lens angle so that the projected image is rectangular: 
The anamorphic lens will almost always be angled with respect to the projector; this is 
normal.
Once the proper lens angle has been set, firmly tighten the Pitch Adjustment T-Screws to 
secure the lens in place. 
There may be some pincushion distortion even after the lens is 
properly adjusted, especially at shorter throw distances. If this is the 
case, Runco recommends that you slightly over-scan the image 
into the screen frame area to mask the distortion.

Yaw Adjust: Loosen the Yaw/X-Adjustment Levers to allow the lens to pivot freely from 
side to side. Then, angle the lens to even out any left-to-right pincushion distortion: 
Once the proper lens angle has been set, firmly tighten the Yaw/X-Adjustment Levers to 
secure the lens in place. 
Geometry: 
1. Unscrew the Anamorphic Lens just enough to allow it to rotate freely.
2. Grasp the lens by the center ring and rotate the lens until the image is properly 
anamorphic: 
3. When the image geometry appears correct, tighten the 
Anamorphic Lens Set Screw (3) to secure the lens in place. (When 
viewed from the front, the rear opening on the anamorphic lens 
should appear as a tall, narrow oval.)  
Focus: Finally, rotate the Focus Ring on the anamorphic 
lens to fine-tune the optical focus.

Installation and
AdjustmentThe Whitney Anamorphic lens mount kit consists of everything shown in Figure 3-31. 
Some components shipped with your projector may differ slightly from what is shown in 
these instructions. 
Figure 3-31. Prismatic Anamorphic Lens Mounting Assembly - Exploded View
1. Use the Height/Pitch Adjustment Screws (3) and Washers (2) to attach the Lens 
Mounting Bracket (6) to the Anamorphic Lens (1).
2. Remove the nut and rubber collar from each Swell Latch Assembly (4). 
3. Secure the lens (with the mounting bracket attached) to the Lens Base Plate (5) using 
the swell latches. ➤
To avoid clipping the corners of the image, position the anamorphic 
lens as close as possible to the primary lens.

Adjusting the Lens Height and Angle: 
1. Project a white field on the screen.
2. Loosen the four Height/Pitch Adjustment Screws just enough to allow vertical 
movement of the lens assembly.
3. Slowly move the anamorphic lens into place so that there are no shadows on the top 
or bottom of the screen:
4. Then, adjust the anamorphic lens angle so that the projected image is rectangular: 
 
The anamorphic lens will almost always be angled with respect to the projector; this is

Aspect RatioTo change the aspect ratio (size and shape) of the projected image, select Aspect Ratio 
from the Main Menu and press ENTER. Select the appropriate aspect ratio for your 
screen size and the type of program material being viewed; refer to Table 4-1. 
The currently-selected aspect ratio is indicated by a “
7” to its left; in this example, 16:9 is 
selected. 
Note that some aspect ratios are unavailable and/or not useful with certain types of 
source material. The optimal setting depends on a number of factors, such as:
 The aspect ratio of the source material, as broadcast or encoded on the playback 
medium.
 The “display type” (16:9 or 4:3) and output resolution settings at the source 
component. Most modern DVD/BD players and set-top boxes have such controls. 
 Viewer preference (original aspect ratio with “black bars,” or a full-screen presentation 
with some distortion or cropping).
