Congratulations on your purchase of a Runco® product! With proper installation, setup and care, you should enjoy many years
of unparalleled video performance.
This Limited Warranty is provided free of charge by Runco International, LLC (“Runco”) with the purchase of a covered Runco
product. This Limited Warranty is applicable to all Runco projectors, processors, LCD display and plasma display products,
with the exception of the following models: XP-103DHD, SC-1 and SC-1a1. This Limited Warranty applies to purchases of
covered Runco products occurring on or after June 1, 2011.
Runco warrants its products to be free from defects in material and workmanship during the warranty period provided below. If
a product proves to be defective in material or workmanship during the warranty period, Runco will repair the product, replace
the product with a substantially similar new or like-new product, or refund a prorated share of the purchase price (calculated
based on the remainder of the warranty period and the then-current, most-recent MSRP2 of a similar product), if repair or
replacement of the product is determined by Runco to not be feasible.
Runco products are warranted for two (2) years from the date of shipment from Runco. Lamps are warranted six (6) months
from the date of shipment or 1000 hours of use, whichever comes first. A replacement lamp is warranted for the remaining
portion (if any) of the original warranty period or ninety (90) days from the date it was shipped to you, whichever is longer. All
other accessories, which include but are not limited to cables, remotes, carrying cases, lens cap and other peripherals sold
with the Runco product, are warranted for ninety (90) days from the date of shipment.
This Limited Warranty is valid only in the country where the Product was originally purchased and for the buyer who originally
purchased the covered product from the authorized Runco dealer or distributor. This warranty is not transferable; it is not valid
for any subsequent buyer (if any). You may be required to provide proof of purchase in order to receive warranty services.
1. Runco may update this list of products excluded from this warranty from time to time at Runco’s sole discretion, but updates will
not apply on a retroactive basis.

A. Register your product if you have not yet done so. Visit http://www.runco.com/support/product-registration/ to
register the product.
B. Contact your original authorized dealer or distributor who sold the product.
C. The dealer/distributor will contact Runco Technical Support via email at support@runco.com or via phone at 1-800-
23-RUNCO (1-800-237-8626).
• The dealer/distributor will provide to Runco proof of purchase, serial number, product model number, description of the
problem and any troubleshooting steps already attempted.
• Runco’s technical support staff will attempt to assist the dealer/distributor in troubleshooting any technical issues that might
be causing the product to malfunction. If Runco is unable to resolve the problem through troubleshooting, a Return Material
Authorization (RMA) number will be issued for the exchange of the defective product if it is determined that the claim is
covered by the warranty. Once an RMA has been created, RMA status is available at serviceorders@runco.com.
• If an RMA is issued, the dealer or customer will need to return the defective product to the Runco repair depot location
specified by the Runco technical support representative. The dealer or customer will need to properly package the defective
product in a suitable shipping container consisting of the product only, and not include any accessories (e.g., cables,
remotes, carrying cases, lens, lens cap and other peripherals). Boxes may be purchased from a Runco technical support
representative.
• The dealer or customer is responsible for paying freight charges and insurance to ship the defective product to the Runco
repair depot location. If there are any shipping damages, the dealer or customer will need to address and resolve any
shipping damage claims directly with the shipping company.
• Runco will not accept a returned product unless an RMA has been issued by Runco.
• For in-warranty repairs, Runco will pay freight charges to return the repaired/replacement product to the dealer/distributor
from the Runco repair depot. For select countries or geographies Runco will ship via an economy express service. Return
delivery time and availability may vary based on origin and destination, and Runco is unable to deliver to PO Box and FPO
Box addresses.
• Note: in the 48 contiguous United States, other options for on-site service or advance exchange for the product may apply,
if you purchased the Runco PremierCare™ Service Plan.
1. Return only the defective product with the lamp (if applicable).
2. Runco will not be responsible for returning or replacing any accessories (e.g., cables, remotes, carrying cases, lens, lens
cap and other peripherals sold with the Runco product) that are returned with the defective product.

4. Damage, deterioration, or malfunction resulting from:
A. Accident, abuse, misuse, neglect, improper ventilation, fire, water, disaster, lightning, or other acts of nature, smoke
exposure (cigarette or otherwise), unauthorized product modification (including use of an unauthorized mount), or
failure to follow instructions supplied with the product
B. Repair or attempted repair by anyone not authorized by Runco
C. Any damage to the product due to shipment
D. Removal or installation of the product
E. Causes external to the product, such as electric power fluctuations or failure
F. Use of supplies or parts (including lamps) that are not purchased from Runco or do not meet Runco’s specifications

be the result of customer use patterns
N. Any other cause, which does not relate to a product defect in material or workmanship
5. Removal, installation, and set-up service charges are excluded from the warranty.
6. Black uniformity issues or other LCD issues associated with usage outside the Runco recommended guidelines and
specifications for the product.
7. Bright or dark sub pixels that are characteristic of LCD technology and considered by Runco to be acceptable and within
Runco’s manufacturing specifications.
Specifically, it is not uncommon for one or more sub pixels to become bright or dark during or after the manufacturing
process. A bright sub pixel is one that remains in the on position, and a dark sub pixel is one that appears black or off. The
sub pixels are usually hard to see and will not detract from the display quality or usability at normal viewing distance. The
following are Runco’s criteria for identifying bright or dark sub pixels that would be considered unacceptable: a) the
number of bright or dark sub pixels; b) the location of the bright or dark sub pixels; c) the color of the bright sub pixels; and
d) the Runco model size. If sub pixels have been identified as unacceptable by Runco the LCD will be deemed faulty and
will be replaced if reported within the warranty period.
1. If the defective product is not properly packaged and is damaged in transit during its return to Runco, you may be invoiced
for either the repair costs, if repairable, or the MSRP of a replacement product and shipping costs incurred by Runco.
2. The repaired or replaced product will assume the remainder of your original product’s warranty term or 90 days from the
date the repaired or replaced product is shipped, whichever is longer.
3. If a replacement product is sent, the replacement becomes the property of the customer and the defective product
becomes the property of Runco.

provided for your safety. When the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for the replacement of
the obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles and the point
where they exit from the apparatus.
11. Only use the attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table specified by the manufacturer or sold with the apparatus.
When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus to avoid injury from tip-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in
any way, such as power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus,
the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
15. The +12V trigger only outputs 12Vdc signal for triggering. Do not connect to any other power input or output. This could
cause damage to this unit.
16. Keep the packing material in case the equipment should ever need to be shipped.
17. The lamp becomes extremely hot during operation. Allow the projector to cool down for approximately 45 minutes prior to
removing the lamp assembly for replacement.

Please read and make sure you understand the following safety information before using the product for viewing 3D content.
Provide this information to the end users of this product and ensure that they understand it.
IMPORTANT HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION FOR 3D VIEWING:
It is widely recognized that stereographic display devices can cause discomfort, including, without
limitation, dizziness, nausea, headaches, eye fatigue and eye-strain, in some individuals. The 3D
effect and experience will vary by individual, depending on a variety of factors, including his or her
health and vision. Runco recommends that users take regular breaks when watching 3D video or
playing games using stereoscopic displays. Discontinue use if any discomfort occurs. Parents of
young children should ensure their children avoid extensive exposure to electronic stereographic
entertainment.
The quality and appropriateness of the 3D screen materials onto which the image is projected and
the quality of the 3D content being displayed both have a significant and noticeable impact on the
overall 3D experience. A properly-calibrated projection system, including glasses and an
optimized third-party screen, displaying high-quality 3D content is the best formula for immersive
and comfortable 3D experiences in the home. Please refer to the remainder of this manual for
proper projector installation and usage instructions.
The glasses that accompany this product are not safe to use as sunglasses, protective eyewear or
any use outdoors or other than only in conjunction with the proper operation of the Runco product
with which they are sold. It is common to dim the lights in a home theater. Using 3D glasses and
the immersive imagery of stereoscopic imagery can increase the risk of tripping or falling the dark.
Special care should be taken.
Do not tilt your head while using the 3D glasses.

Description, Features
and Benefits
Runco’s LightStyle™ Series LS-12HBd Active 3D Projection System delivers exceptional
3D and 2D performance, sharing many of the technical attributes of the award-winning
LightStyle™ projector series. The LS-12HBd combines a powerful, three-chip DLP®
engine and a wide array of lens options with Runco’s elegant LightStyle chassis design.
With the addition of the LS-12HBd to Runco’s 3D projection offerings, clients now have a
variety of exceptional 3D options to choose from based on their individual needs.
The LS-12HBd is a high-bright DLP® projector that delivers stunning, flawless video at a
scale unattainable by other display types, opening up new projector possibilities in the
home and excelling outside of the dedicated home theater, where environmental factors
such as lighting are not easily controlled.
Custom paint and print options with a myriad of color options are available with the
LS-12HBd, including an option to design your own one-of-a-kind projector with Runco
FinishPalette™. Beyond beautiful on the outside, the Runco LS-12HBd is feature-rich,
including advanced connectivity and the latest-generation video processing and scaling.
Rounding out this impressive projector are discrete input source, aspect ratio and power
on/off, as well as an RS-232 interface for seamless integration with automation control
systems.
Impressive and unique and unlike single-chip DLP implementations, no color wheel is
used in the LS-12HBd projectors. Instead, it harnesses the power of three advanced full
1080p HD 16:9 DMD’s™ and 12-degree mirror tilt for the finest black level performance.
The impressive brightness is further bolstered by the improved contrast capabilities of the
stylish LS-12HBd. Designed to excel in both the dedicated theater as well
“Flex-Theaters,” spaces where big screen entertainment is only a portion of the room’s
purpose and aesthetics and placement are as crucial as video performance.
For uncompromised widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the
CinemaScope™ 2:35:1 format, the LS-12HBd can also be paired with one of Runco’s
award-winning anamorphic lens solutions. Through an ingenious combination of software,
electronics and precision anamorphic optics, the Runco anamorphic lens system
maintains constant image height on the screen just as in a movie theater. When a viewer
transitions from 1.78:1 (16:9) program material to superwide 2.35:1, the image simply
gets wider while image height is maintained. The projection system is able to use the full
pixel array, thereby producing a 2.35:1 image with enhanced resolution and increased
brightness. No resolution or image area is lost to those black bars that contain no picture
information.
An anamorphic lens requires the use of a 2.35:1 (or similar aspect ratio),
“superwide” format screen.

System Overview
LightStyle™ LS-12HBd Installation/Operation Manual 5
PRELIMINARY
A LightStyle™ Series LS-12HBd Active 3D Projection System consists of the following
components:
• The projector (equipped with dual digital video inputs) with optional anamorphic lens
and lens transport assembly.
• The DC-300 Dimension Digital Controller™ unit that provides “left-eye” and “right-eye“
video signals and the on-screen display (OSD) menu to the projector. In addition, the
Dimension Digital Controller controls the projector in response to user input via its
infrared (IR) remote control unit or front-panel keypad, an external control system or
HDMI Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) messages.
• An Active 3D Emitter that receives a left/right synchronization signal from the projector
and transmits it to the Active 3D Glasses worn by the viewers. This signal precisely
controls when left and right fields are visible through the glasses.
Figure 2-1 shows how these components connect to and interact with each other. The
following sections describe each one in detail.

2.1
Projector
A LightStyle™ Series LS-12HBd Active 3D Projection System can display both traditional
2D and stereoscopic 3D video content.
An active 3D presentation requires a specialized video signal source configuration and
content to be displayed correctly. Images from a stereo 3D video source consist of a
series of images (called frames or fields) that alternate quickly between two slightly
different view points, corresponding to a viewer’s left and right eyes.
When these frames are displayed fast enough and viewed with special stereo glasses
synchronized to the left/right changes, the resulting image appears with the same depth
and perspective that is sensed in the real world.
Figure 2-2 and Figure 2-3 show the key LS-12HBd components.
Figure 2-2. LS-12HBd Front/Side View
•POWER BUTTON/STATUS LED
Indicates projector status as follows:
• Solid green = AC power present, ready to turn on (lamp not lit)
• Flashing green = lamp is warming up or cooling down; keypad functions not allowed
• Off = Lamp lit, projector functioning normally
• Alternating green/red = Lamp problem (door open, unable to strike, end of life), user
intervention likely to fix problem
• Flashing red = Over temperature, user intervention (clear vents, turn on AC) may fix
problem
• Solid red = Error that requires servicing (fan fail, Power-on self-test fail etc.)

•KEYPAD
Provides an alternative to using the remote control unit to perform primary lens
adjustments (focus, zoom and position).
FOCUS, H/V, ZOOM
Use these buttons to select the type of lens adjustment you wish to make. The default
function (following a power cycle) is FOCUS.
Cursor Buttons ( , , , )
Use these buttons to perform the selected lens adjustment. These buttons operate as
follows:
• When adjusting focus, the up ( ) or left ( ) button focuses closer; the down ( ) or
right ( ) button focuses farther.
• When adjusting zoom, the up ( ) or left ( ) button zooms in (enlarges the projected
image); the down ( ) or right ( ) button zooms out (makes the projected image
smaller).
• When adjusting lens position (H/V), the cursor buttons move the image in the
specified direction, assuming the projector is upright. If the projector is inverted
(ceiling-mounted), the cursor button functions are reversed.
•EXHAUST VENT
Warm air exits the projector through this vent. Ensure that it is not blocked.
•INTAKE VENT
Internal fans draw cool air into the projector through this vent.
•PROJECTION LENS
If needed, a light shield accessory is provided with the lens to minimize stray light
emissions. (Use it only when the vertical offset is 50% of the screen height or greater.)
The light shield attaches to the end of the lens.

Considerations
Proper installation of your projector will ensure the quality of your display. Whether you are
installing a projector temporarily or permanently, you should take the following into
account to ensure your projector performs optimally.
Pre-Wiring for 3D: Run
Dual HDMI Cables
It is a common practice in custom audio/video installations to conceal cables by running
them through walls.
If you plan to do this with your LS-12HBd installation, you will need to run three cables
from the projector to the other projection system components: two (2) HDMI cables and a
serial control cable (typically Category 5 or 4-wire telephone cable).
Installation TypeChoose the installation type that best suits your needs: front or rear screen, floor mount or
inverted mount. Table 3-2 compares these various installation methods.
Ambient LightIn general, minimize or eliminate light sources directed at the screen. Contrast ratio in your
images will be noticeably reduced if light directly strikes the screen, such as when a shaft
of light from a window or floodlight falls on the image. Images may then appear washed
out and less vibrant.
Table 3-2. Projector Installation Options

Throw Distance Throw distance is the distance measured from the front of the projector to the screen.
This is an important calculation in any projector installation as it determines whether or not
you have enough room to install your projector with a desired screen size and if your
image will be the right size for your screen.
You can quickly estimate the throw distance by taking the width of the screen and
multiplying it by the lens throw ratio; see Figure 3-1. The result of this calculation tells you
roughly how far back the projector should be positioned from the screen in order to
project a focused image large enough to fill the screen.

Table 3-3 lists the available lens options for the LS-12HBd and their associated throw
ratios.
Vertical and Horizontal
Position
Proper placement of the projector relative to the screen will yield a rectangular,
perfectly-centered image that completely fills the screen.
Ideally, the projector should be positioned perpendicular to the screen and in such a way
that the lens center is aligned with either the top or bottom edge of the screen area, and
centered horizontally. See Figure 3-2.

Folded Optics In rear-screen applications where space behind the projector is limited, a mirror may be
used to fold the optical path, as shown in Figure 3-5. The position of the projector and
mirror must be accurately set. If you are considering this type of installation, contact your
dealer for assistance.
Figure 3-5. Folded Optics
➤
For best performance, always use “first-surface” mirrors in your
rear-projection installation (as opposed to conventional,
“second-surface” mirrors with the reflective surface behind a
transparent substrate such as glass or acrylic).
First-surface mirrors provide a strict reflection without the
“ghosting” effect seen with a second surface mirror, where a faint
secondary reflection could be observed coming from the front
surface of the glass.
This is especially critical for 3D viewing; with a conventional
second-surface mirror, the resulting image quality may be
unacceptable.

Audio/Video
Synchronization Issues
Due to its extraordinarily high level of video processing performance, the Dimension Digital
Controller may distribute video signals with a perceptible level of audio latency. In order to
easily solve this issue, Runco recommends using the Dimension Digital Controller with a
high-quality audio receiver that has the ability to effectively synchronize audio and video
signals.
Most mainstream audio receiver/switchers have the ability to synchronize the audio and
video to the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) prescribed tolerances.
According to the ATSC, the sound program should never lead the video program by more
than 15 milliseconds, and should never lag behind the video program by more than 45
milliseconds.
In addition, many video displays and A/V receivers introduce additional latency that needs
to be compensated for during the installation.
Table 3-4 shows the amount of possible audio latency given different signal input timings.
Other ConsiderationsOther considerations and tips that can help improve your installation:
• Keep the ambient temperature constant and below 35°C (95°F). Keep the projector
away from heating and/or air conditioning vents. Changes in temperature may cause
drifts in the projector circuitry, which may affect performance.
• Keep the projector away from devices that radiate electromagnetic energy such as
motors and transformers. Common sources of these include slide projectors,
speakers, power amplifiers and elevators.

Mounting the
LS-12HBd
There are several methods for mounting the projector. Depending on your chosen
installation, one method may be more suitable than another.
Floor Mounting (Upright)In typical front and rear screen installations, the projector can be mounted to a secure and
level surface such as a table or cart. Carts are useful when moving a projector during a
presentation or from site to site. If possible, lock the wheels when it’s in position to prevent
it from being moved during a presentation.
Ceiling Mounting
(Inverted)
For fixed installations, and for those that want the projector out of sight or have a limited
space for projector and audience, you can invert the LS-12HBd and suspend it from the
ceiling using a specially-designed ceiling mount fixture.
Install the ceiling mount kit according to the instructions provided with it.
If you are ceiling-mounting an LS-12HBd with an anamorphic lens, perform these
additional steps to secure the plate Security Hooks to the ceiling (refer to Attaching the
Security Hooks on the previous page).
1. Install ceiling hooks (not supplied) into the ceiling directly above the Plate Hooks. The
ceiling hooks should be small enough to accept a Chain End but strong enough when
installed to each support 40 pounds or more.
2. Attach a Chain End to the Chain and then connect it to one of the ceiling hooks.
3. Cut the Chain to a length equal to or slightly greater than the distance between the
ceiling hook and the corresponding Plate Hook.
4. Attach a Chain End to the other end of the Chain. Then, use the Chain to connect the
ceiling hook and the Plate Hook.
5. Repeat Steps 2 through 4 for the other ceilling hook/Plate Hook pair.
Installing the Projector in
an Enclosure
The projector can also be inverted and placed in an enclosure above and behind the
viewing area. Install four feet on the inside bottom surface of the enclosure on which the
projector can rest. A variety of materials can be used for this purpose (for example, rubber
crutch tips or turntable feet).
Use only the Runco-approved ceiling mount kit designed for your
projector.

Adjusting the Projection
Angle
If the LS-12HBd is ceiling-mounted and the screen is significantly lower than the projector,
you can tilt the projector at a slight angle by adjusting the ceiling mount.
The projector can be rotated (side-to-side) up to 360 degrees and mounted without it
affecting performance. However, to ensure optimal performance of the lamp, limit the
front-to-back tilt of the projector to ±20 degrees; see Figure 3-6.
Figure 3-6. Mounting Angle Ranges (Front-to-Back and Side-to-Side)
If you do this, you may need to shift the image using the on-screen display (OSD) controls,
to compensate. For detailed instructions, refer to Primary Lens Adjustments: Focus,

Adjusting the Image
Geometry
Projector and/or screen placement — among other things — can cause geometric
distortion in the projected image.
To correct this, the Dimension Digital Controller provides precise, nine-point control over
the projected image geometry. Use these controls as (and only if) needed to re-position
the image corners, mid-points and center to eliminate “keystoning” (mis-aligned corners)
or “pincushion” distortion (mid-points not aligned with corners). See Figure 3-22.

Horizontal Keystoning
Pincushion Distortion
Installation
LightStyle™ LS-12HBd Installation/Operation Manual 53
PRELIMINARY
“Keystoning” usually occurs when the projector is tilted relative to the screen. “Pincushion”
distortion can sometimes occur if the throw distance is very short and/or the projector is
equipped with an anamorphic lens.
To correct keystoning or pincushion distortion:
1. On the Dimension Digital Controller remote control or front panel, press MENU.
2. Select Calibration from the Main Menu and enter the Calibration Menu passcode.
3. Select Image Alignment from the Calibration Menu.
4. Select Corner Alignment to correct a “keystoned” image by adjusting the image
corner positions. Select Midpoint Alignment to correct pincushion distortion by
adjusting the image edge mid-points. See Figure 3-23.
Figure 3-23. Image Alignment Controls
You must enter a passcode to access the Calibration menu.
Use the built-in test pattern when adjusting the image corners or
midpoints. To access it, check the Test Pattern box in the Corner
Alignment or Midpoint Alignment menu.

Installing and
Adjusting the
Anamorphic Lens
If you are installing an LS-12HBd with an anamorphic lens, proceed as follows to install
and adjust the lens.
Attach the anamorphic lens to the bracket using the plastic knobs supplied with the lens.
See Figure 3-24.
Figure 3-24. Attaching the Anamorphic Lens to the Lens Mount
Configure Lens Motor Trigger on Dimension Digital Controller: The anamorphic
lens solution for the LS-12HBd 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 Trig gers 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.
It is extremely important that the primary lens is properly
adjusted before you install the anamorphic lens. Ensure that
the image from the primary lens is perfectly centered on the
screen.
Note
You must enter a passcode to access the Service menu for the first
time after turning on the system.
Note
Installation
LightStyle™ LS-12HBd Installation/Operation Manual 55
PRELIMINARY
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 2-7), or press or repeatedly with no menus visible on-screen.
Adjusting the Lens Position:
1. Adjust the vertical position and tilt of the lens so that the projector beam is passing
through the center of the lens and any residual pincushion distortion is about the
same at the top and bottom of the image. This typically results in the anamorphic lens
being below the center of the primary lens and tilted slightly downward.
2. Tighten the knobs.
3. Adjust the rotation of the Lens Transport Assembly so that the left and right sides of
the image are an equal distance from their respective screen borders.
4. Tighten the Pivot Screw and the four mounting screws holding the transport to the
Attachment Plate.
5. For optimum multiple aspect ratio performance, adjust the projector’s zoom so that a
1.85:1 aspect ratio movie is just masked by the top and bottom of the screen border
when the anamorphic lens is not in front of the primary lens. This way 1.85:1, 16:9
and 2.35-2.4:1 aspect ratio movies are all presented to fill the screen at a constant
height.
6. Remove the protective film from the
front of the anamorphic lens.
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.

Aspect Ratio To 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).

PictureUse the controls in the Picture Menu to calibrate each Dimension Digital Controller input to
achieve optimum picture quality.
The Dimension Digital Controller 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
Dimension Digital Controller input separately.
Although it may be possible to obtain satisfactory picture quality using the naked eye and
regular program material, Runco recommends using an external test pattern source
(Ovation Multimedia, Digital Video Essentials or AVIA test DVD or equivalent) for best
results.
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
Brightness
Contrast
Color
Tint
Sharpness
Noise Filter
When you change a picture quality setting, save the change to a
preset afterwards. Otherwise, the change will be lost when a
different input is selected. (Picture quality settings are saved for
each input and display mode separately.) For information about
saving settings, refer to Memory Presets on page 70.

Input Position Use the controls in the Input Position Menu to fine-tune the aspect ratio and image
position for the current source.
Left/Right: Select Left/Right from the Input Position menu to shift the projected image
horizontally. Press to shift the image to the right; press to shift it to the left.
Up/Down: Select Up/Down from the Input Position menu to shift the projected image
vertically. Press to shift the image upward; press to shift it downward.
Width: Select Width from the Input Position menu to change the projected image width.
Press to increase the width; press to decrease it.
Height: Select Height from the Input Position menu to change the projected image
height. Press to increase the height; press to decrease it.
Overscan/Overscan Mode: Overscan pushes the outside edge of the active picture
area of the video signal out beyond the edge of the display area.
Some television programs are produced based on the assumption that older television
sets may not display the outer edges of the broadcast picture area. Overscan effectively
trims away these inactive, outer edges and enlarges the remaining portion of the image to
fill the display area.
For HDTV, DVDs and other video sources, Overscan is generally not necessary or
desirable.
This control defines the amount of overscan applied to the image. The range is from
0 to 20. There are two overscan modes:
•In Crop mode, each increment adds a mask at the top, bottom, left and right edges of
the source image equal to 0.5% of the displayed horizontal resolution (1% total). A
setting of 10, for example, crops the image 5% on all sides or 10% total.
•In Zoom mode, each increment adds a factor to the scaling of the source image so
that the vertical and horizontal resolutions are 100% plus 1% increments of the size
determined by the aspect ratio function. A setting of 10, for example, zooms in on the
image 5% on all sides or 10% total.
Figure 4-6 illustrates the effect of each overscan mode setting.

Phase (RGB, Component or SCART sources): This control adjusts the phase of the
pixel sampling clock relative to the incoming signal. Adjust the phase when an RGB,
Component or SCART image still shows shimmer or “noise” after Tracking has been
optimized.
For best results, use a good test pattern such as a smooth gray consisting of a clear
pattern of black and white pixels, or a similar “half on, half off” graphic image. Adjust the
slidebar until the image stabilizes and each pixel is clearly defined. You may notice that
you can stabilize the image at more than one point. Use either setting in such cases.
Tracking (RGB, Component or SCART sources): Tracking determines the frequency
of the pixel sampling clock, indicated by the number of incoming pixels per line, so that all
pixels generated by a particular source are sampled.
Steady flickering or several soft vertical stripes or bands across the entire image indicates
poor pixel tracking. Proper pixel tracking helps ensure that the image quality is consistent
across the screen, that aspect ratio is maintained and that pixel phase (see above) can be
optimized.
Adjust the Phase after adjusting Tracking (see below).

To recall the ISF Night or ISF Day settings, select “ISF Night” or “ISF Day” from the
Memory Presets menu (see page 70) or use the corresponding remote control buttons.
Display Color - Common Settings: Use the Display Color - Common Settings menu to
adjust the color balance at the Dimension Digital Controller output. These settings are
saved independently for each input and display mode.
•Gain: Use the Gain controls to correct color imbalances in the bright areas of the
image. A good way to do this is to use a test pattern consisting mostly of solid white
areas, such as an 80 IRE “window” pattern. If the white areas contain traces of red (Pr),
green (Y) or blue (Pr), decrease the Gain for that color.
•Offset: Use the Offset controls to correct color imbalances in the dark areas of the
image. A good way to do this is to use a test pattern consisting mostly of dark gray
areas, such as a 30 IRE “window” pattern. If the gray areas contain traces of red (Pr),
green (Y) or blue (Pr), decrease the Offset for that color.
• Gamma: Select Gamma from the Display Color - Common Settings menu to choose a
de-gamma curve. Used correctly, the Gamma control can improve contrast while
maintaining good details for blacks and whites. 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 improves 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.
•Mode: With the LS-12HBd, two Gamma adjustment modes are available: Simple or
Advanced. The two modes are mutually exclusive; when you select the Simple
mode, the Advanced selection in the Gamma menu is grayed out. Likewise, when
you select Advanced, the Simple selection is grayed out.
•Simple: Use the Simple Gamma control to perform gamma correction at the display
according to a simple power law gamma function. The value chosen here
corresponds to the power variable in this equation:
Output = InputPower
The Dimension Digital Controller applies this gamma curve to all three primary color
channels (red, green and blue).
•Advanced: To select a custom gamma curve, select Mode from the Gamma menu
and set it to Advanced. Then, select Advanced from the Gamma menu to select one
of up to 20 pre-programmed gamma tables. Custom gamma tables provide the
ability to perform complex, non-linear gamma correction on each primary color
channel independently of the others.

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.

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.
•Gain/Offset (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.
•Noise 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.
•Memory Preset - 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.
•Memory Preset - 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.)

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.

Miscellaneous: Select Miscellaneous from the Service menu to set the following options:
• Language: Select Language from the Miscellaneous menu and press the up- or
down-arrows to select the OSD Language (English, Français, Deutsch, Italiano,
Español, Svenska, (Simplified Chinese), (Traditional Chinese),
Português, (Russian), (Japanese) or (Korean)).
•OSD Timer: Select OSD Timer from the Miscellaneous menu to set the OSD Timer,
which controls how long the menus remain on-screen after selecting them. Select from
5 to 60 seconds, in one-second increments. Or, set the timer to 0 (disabled) if you want
the menus to remain on-screen indefinitely.
•OSD Messages: When you select a new aspect ratio, input source or memory preset,
the Dimension Digital Controller briefly displays an on-screen message confirming your
new selection. To prevent the display of these messages, select OSD Messages from
the Miscellaneous menu to and set it to Off.
•Blank Screen Color: Select Blank Screen Color from the Miscellaneous menu to
select the color that appears when no incoming signal is present. The range is from 0
to 255 inclusive for each color component (red, green and blue).
•Sidebar Color: Select Sidebar Color from the Miscellaneous menu to change the
color of the inactive image area. The range is from 0 to 255 inclusive for each color
component (red, green and blue). The inactive image area is on either side of the active
image area when using the 4:3 aspect ratio.
• Film Mode: Use Film Mode to smooth out moving images from interlaced,
standard-definition (SD) sources. In most cases, the Dimension Digital Controller
detects the proper “pull-down” rate and vertical frequency. However, if your source is
jittery and/or tearing you may want to enable Film Mode to ensure stable processing for
that source.
•CUE (Chroma Upsampling Error) Correction: Some DVD players use MPEG
decoders that do not correctly “upsample” the 4:2:0 format chroma information on the
DVD to the 4:2:2 or 4:4:4 format required by the video encoder of the display device.
This so-called “chroma bug” sometimes causes streaky or spiky horizontal lines
running through the chroma channel. It is most noticeable in static, interlaced scenes
and on diagonal edges (especially red ones). Set CUE to On to correct this issue.
•Sync Threshold: Select Sync Threshold to adjust the threshold at which negative
pulses on the component video green/luma channel are interpreted to be sync pulses.
Sync Threshold adjustment is occasionally necessary when a DVD player or HDTV
source signal drops “below black” (for example, during scenes with explosions or when
subtitles are present) and causes the projector to temporarily lose sync. If the sync level
from the source is persistently too low, the display device won’t sync with the source at
all.
The range is from 0 (approximately 60 millivolts (mV)) to 15 (approximately 300 mV).

HDMI: Select HDMI from the Service menu to set the following options affecting
communication between HDMI sources, the Dimension Digital Controller and the
LS-12HBd.
• HDMI EDID Extension: Extended display identification data (EDID) is a data structure
provided by a display device to describe its capabilities to a graphics card. It is what
enables a modern personal computer to know what kind of monitor is connected.
Some modern display devices provide more information via EDID than others, in the
form of “extensions.” Some computer graphics cards do not recognize or properly
interpret this extended EDID information.
Select HDMI EDID Extension from the HDMI menu to specify whether or not the EDID
extensions from the display device are passed through to the sources connected to the
HDMI and/or DisplayPort inputs. By default, the extensions are on. Change these
settings only if HDMI EDID incompatibility issues arise.
•Audio Format: Select Audio Format from the HDMI menu to choose an option for
routing the audio signal from an HDMI source. With the LS-12HBd, the recommended
setting is HDMI Out (Audio Only). (This is also the default setting.)
•CEC: This control chooses whether or not the Dimension Digital Controller responds to
HDMI CEC control messages from a disc player, set-top box or other HDMI source.
The default setting is On. For more information about CEC, refer to Using HDMI CEC
Messages on page 122.
• HPD Toggle Rejection: Select HPD Toggle Rejection from the HDMI menu to specify
whether or not the Dimension Digital Controller ignores extraneous Hot Plug Detect
(HPD) signal state changes from a downstream HDMI device (third-party display or
audio/video receiver).
The default setting, Auto, disables HPD toggle rejection on the LS-12HBd. Use the
other settings to troubleshoot compatibility issues or reduce the amount of time
needed to lock to an incoming signal.
Front Panel Brightness: Select Front Panel Brightness from the Service menu to adjust
the brightness of the front-panel LED and LCD status indicators.
The Dimension Digital Controller does not transmit HDMI CEC
control messages from the “HDMI Audio Out” connector,

PRELIMINARY
Charging the BatteryThe glasses must be fully charged before first use and whenever the Battery Status LED
flashes red once every couple of seconds. The glasses will charge a completely dead
battery in approximately five hours. You may use the glasses while the battery is being
charged.
To charge the 3D Glasses:
1. Attach one end of the supplied charging cable to the Power Input above the left lens
on the glasses.
2. Attach the other end of the cable to any USB “A” port on a USB hub, personal
computer or display device. The Battery Status LED lights solid red while the battery is
charging.
3. When the Battery Status LED lights solid blue, the battery is fully charged. You can
disconnect the glasses from the power source.
The battery in the 3D glasses is designed to operate approximately 15 hours on a full
charge. The glasses consume more power as needed to maximize reliability. As a result,
battery life is a function of many factors, including how much interference from 2.4-GHz
devices like wireless routers must be compensated. Under worst-case conditions,
fully-charged glasses should operate flawlessly for a minumum of about 12 hours.
When attached to a computer, the Runco Active 3D Glasses use
the computer only to receive power; the glasses do not appear as a
device visible to Windows or any other operating system.

Turning On the Glasses 1. Ensure that the projector is powered on and displaying 3D content.
2. Press and hold the Power Button for about two seconds, then release the button. The
LED will then blink in a pattern that indicates the battery charge state. In general, the
more slowly and less frequently the LED blinks, the more charged (and less in need of
charge) the glasses are. Refer to Table 4-5.
3. The glasses will sync with the emitter and the 3D content will be visible through the
glasses.
4. Repeat Step 2 for each pair of glasses you wish to sync to the emitter.
Auto Power-Off If the glasses do not detect an emitter, the LED blinks on and off once per second for five
minute. Then, to preserve battery life, the glasses automatically turn off. If the emitter is
activated (the emitter is only active when the projector is in 3D mode) before the
five-minute period ends, the glasses stop blinking and remain on.
If the glasses automatically turn off, press the Power button to turn them back on.

PRELIMINARY
In addition to using the Dimension Digital Controller front-panel keypad or remote control
unit, there are three methods of controlling the LS-12HBd and Dimension Digital
Controller externally:
• Using a serial (RS-232) link to send ASCII commands and receive responses to those
commands.
• Using discrete infrared (IR) codes to program a third-party remote control unit.
• Using an HDMI connection to send Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) commands
from a BD player or other source component that supports CEC.
The following sections describe these methods.
6.1
Serial Communications
The Dimension Digital Controller uses a simple text-based control protocol to take
requests from control devices and to provide responses to such devices. This section
describes how to send control messages over a serial link between the Dimension Digital
Controller and an automation/control system or a PC running terminal emulation software.
RS-232 Connection and
Port Configuration
To interface the LS-12HBd with an automation/control system or a PC running terminal
emulation software, connect it to the Dimension Digital Controller as shown in Figure 3-9.
Connect your control system or PC to the RS-232 input of the Dimension Digital
Controller; see 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 Dimension Digital
Controller RS-232 port.
Command FormatCommands sent from an automation/control system or PC to the Dimension Digital
Controller must have the following format:
(www:xyz) [CR]
Where:
•( and ) indicate the start and end of the command data. If these characters are
present, the Dimension Digital Controller assumes that valid command data is present
in the command string. Otherwise, the Dimension Digital Controller ignores the
command.
•www indicates the command code. This field is case insensitive; for example, PWR, pwr
and PwR are all equivalent.
•:x is the destination parameter. This is an optional parameter that indicates which
memory the command is referencing. This parameter is reserved for future use.
6. External Control
The serial communication protocol described here replaces the
serial protocol used by legacy Runco products (manufactured prior
to September 2011) that include the DHD Controller.
Runco recommends using this new protocol, as it is more concise
and provides greater control than the old one. However, to maintain
backward compatibility with existing automation/control system
modules, the legacy Runco serial protocol is also supported.

Using Discrete IR
Codes
The Dimension Digital Controller accepts commands in the form of IR signals that conform
to the NEC protocol. Each Dimension Digital Controller remote control button has an NEC
control code associated with it.
You can use these codes to program a third-party, “universal” remote control unit to work
with the Dimension Digital Controller. These third-party products usually come with a
computer software application for this purpose. For more information, consult the
documentation provided with the remote control unit.
IR Command ProtocolThe IR control codes have the following characteristics:
• Each code consists of the following:
•A leader pulse (a modulated pulse of 9 ms followed by a non-modulated pulse of
4.5 ms);
•16 address bits. The default address is 82 09 (0x2011, binary
00100000 00010001). To change it, select Remote Control from the Service menu
and follow the steps given on page 83;
•16 data bits: eight (8) bits for the command followed by the logical inverse of the
command; and
•An end pulse (a modulated pulse of 0.56 ms, similar to the modulated pulse in the
‘0’ and ‘1’ bits).The end of the modulated pulse constitutes the end of the data
transmission.
• The carrier frequency is 38 kHz, with the modulated pulses having a 33% duty cycle.
• Commands are sent at a maximum rate of 9 Hz.
For example, here is the NEC control code for the ON button on the Dimension Digital
Controller remote control unit (assuming the default address is used):
Figure 6-1 shows the pulse train for this command.

Using HDMI CEC
Messages
The Dimension Digital Controller accepts and can respond to CEC command messages
from a disc player, satellite receiver or DVR/set-top box via an HDMI connection. Using
CEC, the Dimension Digital Controller can perform the following actions:
• Turn itself and the projector on and select the correct input when the source
component initiates playback of a disc or recorded program.
• Turn the source component on when you switch to its corresponding input on the
Dimension Digital Controller.
• Turn the source component off when the LS-12HBd system is turned off (unless the
source component is in playback mode).
• Change its OSD language when a similar change is made at the source.
To use CEC, connect your CEC-compatible sources to the HDMI inputs on the Dimension
Digital Controller. Set the CEC option to On (refer to CEC on page 92). Additional steps
may be needed to enable CEC at the source. Refer to the documentation for your source
device for more information.
