OVERALL FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
DIGITAL INPUTS:
• DVI 1 / DVI 2
These are High Definition Digital Video Interface (DVI) inputs; Runco recommends using these digital inputs
whenever possible. Using the DVI 1 and DVI 2 inputs ensures the highest video quality because the signal is
carried in the digital domain throughout the entire signal path, from source component output, through the DHD
and finally into the plasma. This maintains maximum signal purity.
Use these inputs to connect digital High Definition sources that have a DVI output, such as HD tuners and set
top boxes, satellite receivers, DVD players, etc. Both DVI inputs supports the HDCP (High Defintion Content
Protection) system.
ISF Calibration:
The PL-43DHD/PL-50DHD plasmas have 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 there is a need to calibrate each and every input
separately.
When beginning calibration of the DHD and display, it is imperative that at least one of the analog SD inputs (S-
Video or RCA Component) be calibrated first. In doing this, the plasma is calibrated to the controller. After one of
the SD inputs is calibrated, calibration of the HD analog or DVI sections can follow.
Once the initial settings have been completed, the “front panel display” (color, tint, sharpness, etc.) can be
adjusted for each aspect ratio. The calibration procedures for these adjustments are outlined in “picture quality
adjustments”.
