Quick Set-up Guide
Connection Examples
While there are many different ways to connect your source equipment to your Controller, the examples shown above are the
most common and are recommended by Runco.
• COMPOSITE VIDEO INPUT: Composite video is the most common type of signal used, but is also the lowest in picture qual-
ity. Many sources have outputs that are limited to Composite video, such as some VCR’s and camcorders. Others, such as
laser disc players, actually produce slightly better results when using Composite video. While the Controller has an excellent
decoder for Composite video, it is recommended that Composite video be used only if necessary.
• S-VIDEO INPUT: S-Video is the second-best type of signal that can be used, but is MUCH better than Composite video. Using
such sources as satellite receivers, high-quality VCRs and DVD players (with no Component output) will produce a MUCH
cleaner and sharper signal. Decoder artifacts that are associated with Composite video (dot crawl and ‘rainbows’) are non-exis-
tent when using S-Video.
• COMPONENT INPUT: Component video is the best type of signal that can be used. The most common sources that use
Component outputs are DVD players, and it is highly recommended that Component be used when possible. Component video
goes one step beyond S-Video in picture quality; chroma (color) information is more resolved and the overall picture appears
more well-defined.
• RGB/COMPONENT PASSTHRU: This port is where all high-resolution signals (such as DTV decoders and progressive DVD
players) must be input. The signal type can be either RGBHV or Component and is not processed by the Controller. Computer
signals must be input directly to the Projector via the 15-pin VGA connector labeled ‘COMPUTER’.
