Display Compatibility Requirements
From a programmed universal remote control
Using the serial connection on the back panel
JVC RS-VP2 video processing products are compatible with a wide range of displays. These include
digital TVs, projectors, and flat panel displays, as well as other emerging technologies that can
support 480p or higher resolution video signals. To determine if your display is compatible with the
Reference Series RS-VP2, look to see if it has an HDMI or DVI digital video input. If not, then your
display may only have analog High Definition inputs or it is probably limited to receiving a standard
NTSC, PAL or SECAM interlaced signal and will not function correctly with RS-VP2. High Definition
Analog inputs include Component Video (YPbPr) and RGBHV using HD15 and/or 5 BNC terminated
coaxial cables. Component inputs that are not capable of accepting a 480p signal, at a minimum, are
usually labeled ‘480i’ (NTSC) or ‘576i’ (PAL/SECAM).
The menu navigation controls on the remote control are duplicated on the front panel of the RS-VP2.
To navigate the menu:
1. Press the Menu button.
2. Use the directional buttons (t,p,q,u) to highlight the parameter you want to change.

Initial Setup
STEP 1 - Power Up
1. Attach the removable power cord to the external power supply.
The HDMI audio inputs are compatible with all of the HDMI 1.3 audio formats.
2. Plug the removable power cord into a wall outlet or power conditioner, if applicable.
3. Plug the small connector attached to the cable that comes out of the power supply into
the RS-VP2. The RS-VP2 should power on and display ‘Reference Series RS-VP2 / by JVC’
on the Front Panel Display (FPD). If this does not happen, check all connections and
verify that the power outlet does supply power with another device.
Audio Outputs
There are two discrete digital audio outputs, one coaxial and one optical. Both are active at the same
time, with the selected input audio stream.
IMPORTANT: Use only the power supply that came with your RS-VP2, or a
replacement procured directly from JVC.
The HDMI 1.3 output carries both audio and video.
STEP 2 - Connect the RS-VP2 to the Display
12V Trigger Outputs
There are two 12-volt trigger ports that are designed to supply a combined total of 500mA.
Displays with a DVI or HDMI Input
based on the factory default settings, just connecting an rs-Vp2 to a display with an HdMi or
dVi input should complete this step as the default output is for the HdMi output to be active with
a RGB 4:4:4 signal which is the standard signal for a DVI/HDMI connection. Press the Menu
button once to confirm that you can see the On Screen Display (OSD).
RS232 Serial Connection
This connection is used as an interface to control the rs-Vp2 with an automation system
and to update the software in the RS-VP2. The most current software version is available at
Displays without a DVI or HDMI input:
follow steps 1-4 for a Component input and steps 1-8 for an rGbHV input
Power Supply Input
Press the Menu button on the front panel of the RS-VP2 once. You should see ‘MAIN MENU / INPUT
SELECT’ on the FPD.
The rS-VP2 comes with a 6V@7A AC-to-DC converter power supply, which accepts
100-240 VAC at 50/60Hz.
1. Press the Output Setup button once. You should see ‘MAIN MENU / OUTPUT SETUP’
on the FPD.
2. Press the ubutton. You should see ‘OUTPUT SETUP / Analog/Digital’ on the FPD.
3. Press the pbutton and you should see ‘Analog/Digital / HDMI (Digital)’. Press the p
button once so that ‘Analog/Digital / BNC (Analog)’ is displayed on the FPD.
Press the Enter button.
4. You should now see the OSD
5. Press the qbutton one time and you should see ‘OUTPUT SETUP / Format’ on the FPD.
6. Press the ubutton one time to enter the Format menu.
7. Press the qbutton until you see ‘Format / VGA’ and then press the Enter button.
8. You should now see the OSD
STEP 3 - Selecting the Optimal Output Resolution on the RS-VP2 for
the Connected Display
Once you have installed the RS-VP2 into the system, you must properly configure it for the display
device being driven. If the OSD is not visible on the display’s screen when you press one of the
menu or sub-menu (Output Setup/Config./Picture Control/Input Adjust) buttons on the remote
control, then you must complete Step 2 before continuing.
Determine the optimal output resolution to set the RS-VP2 to get the best picture from the display.
To do this correctly, the native resolution or maximum resolution of the display must be known.

Native resolution refers to the actual pixel count of a fixed pixel display. Fixed pixel display
technologies include plasma, LCD, DLP and LCoS. CRT-based technologies use scan lines so they do
not have a native resolution but they do have a maximum resolution.
be the native resolution of the display or the display may scale all input signals even if the input reso-
lution is already at native resolution. Check to make sure that the output resolution selected on the
RS-VP2 is the correct output resolution for the display. Also check to make sure that the display is in the
correct Aspect Ratio mode, which may be causing the display to do additional unnecessary scaling.
The correct mode may be called ‘Native’, ‘Dot-by-Dot’, ‘Full’, or ‘Anamorphic’.
Keep in mind that some displays do not accept their native resolution and almost all HDTVs will
accept 720p and 1080i resolutions, but no fixed pixel display has a native resolution of 1080i.
in almost all cases, the picture will be better if one of these displays is sent a 720p signal instead
of a 1080i signal.
NOTE: if this test pattern does not appear as it should, and you have chosen the native resolution
of the display, you may not be able to bypass the internal processing on the display. This does not
mean that the RS-VP2 can not still make an improvement in the image quality. In these cases select
the closest output format to the display’s native resolution.
To change the output resolution, press the output setup button on the remote and navigate down to
‘Format’. Press uonce and select the desired output resolution.

When this test pattern is displayed correctly, there should be a one-pixel wide white border around
the edge of the screen: If it is not sized correctly, it means that the display is overscanning the input
signal. This is very common and is known for cutting off sports scores at the bottom of the screen.
Use the ‘Underscan’ control to shrink the size of the output image so that you can see all of the
active area of the signals coming from your sources. If it is also not positioned correctly, use the
‘Image Shift’ controls to position it correctly. These controls are available under the Aspect Ratio
setting in the Output Setup menu.

Checkerboard (Verifying if Display’s Processing Can Be Bypassed)
When the checkerboard test pattern is displayed correctly, close up you should be able to see a
1-pixel checkerboard and at proper viewing distance the image should appear as an even gray. If
the display is CRT-based you will not see this checkerboard, but the screen should be an even gray.
When this test pattern is displayed incorrectly, the resulting image does not look like a fine checker-
board and may have irregular patterns. When this is the case, the chosen output resolution may not
STEP 5 - Configuring the Input Sources to Get Maximum Performance
s-Video and Composite connections do not need to be setup the correct output resolution because
they only support standard definition resolutions, 480i or 576i. HDMI, DVI and Component outputs
need to be properly setup on each source to get the best performance. You can verify the resolution
that the rs-Vp2 is receiving from the source by pushing the Info button.

Forced 3:2 Mode
One is 4 IRE below black (blacker-than-black), one is 1 IRE above black, and the third is 2 IRE
above black. Embedded in the white blocks are 3 bars. One is 1 IRE above white (whiter-then-white),
one is 1 IRE below white, and the third is 2 IRE below white. The bottom two blocks differ slightly from
these levels. For the bottom two blocks, the blacker-than-black is at the lowest possible luma level
and the whiter-than-white bar is at the highest possible luma level. When the brightness and contrast
are adjusted correctly, you should be able to see the 1 ire and 2 ire above black bars on the black
background and the 1 IRE and 2 IRE below white bars should be visible on the white background.
When the brightness is adjusted correctly, black objects should appear ‘black’ with the details still
intact and lighter areas should be ‘light’, not gray, with the details still intact. When the contrast is
adjusted correctly, white objects will appear ‘white’ with the details still intact. Because the contrast
settings can affect brightness settings we recommend that you check the brightness setting after
making this adjustment.
This mode is perfect for Hd-dVd and blu-ray players that output a cleanly encoded 3:2 signal over
the entire length of a movie. This insures the highest performance playback from these high quality
sources. If you intend on setting up the RS-VP2 to output a 24Hz, 48Hz, or 72Hz signal for film-based
content this mode is highly recommended.

STEP 7 – Assigning Audio Inputs to Video Inputs
The rs-Vp2 features an audio delay function to exactly match the video delay incurred by the video
processing. The RS-VP2 accepts four discrete digital audio inputs, two optical (Audio 1, 2) and two
coaxial (Audio 3 and 4) inputs, one analog audio input and four HDMI audio inputs. By default, no
audio inputs are assigned to any video inputs. To assign an audio an input to a video input, first select
the video input using the remote control or front panel controls and then select the audio input.
NOTE: if you have a CrT based display, following the instructions above may yield a contrast setting
too high. If the contrast is set too high, you will get blooming and loss of details in the highlighted
areas. It is more helpful to use the two vertical lines in the test pattern. Adjust the contrast up and
down and you will notice that these lines will bend as you increase the contrast. To properly adjust
contrast on a CRT based display, decrease the contrast until the vertical lines start to straighten out.
If possible, the two lines should be straight. On some CRT, the lines may not straighten even if you
turn the contrast to its minimum. If this is the case, slowly increase the contrast to a point just before
the vertical lines have extreme bending. You have now properly set up the contrast of the display.
Continue to set up brightness as detailed above.

Audio Input
(Make Selection)
_ _
NOTE: If an analog video input is selected, the HDMI option will not be available. An audio input can
be assigned to multiple video inputs, but a video input can not have multiple audio inputs assigned
to it. There are some HDMI sources that do not output the correct audio signal when connected to
an HDMI repeater, like an AV receiver or video processor. In these instances, we recommend that use
an alternative method of sending audio, like the optical or coaxial digital audio outputs.
Color Bars 75 and Color Bars 100
The ‘Color8 Bars75’ and ‘Color8 Bars100’ will assist in setting up the saturation (color) and hue (tint)
of the display. The ‘Color8 Bars75’ test pattern consists of 8 vertical bars across the screen at a 75%
saturation level. The ‘Color8 Bars100’ test pattern consists of 8 vertical bars across the screen at
a 100% saturation level. From left to right the bars are: white, yellow, cyan, green, magenta, red,
blue, and black. To properly adjust the saturation and hue you will need to use the blue colored filter
that comes with AVIA. You will also need to turn off any automatic flesh tone controls on the display
before making these adjustments. When the Saturation and Hue are adjusted correctly, the white
bar and the blue bar should be exactly the same shade when looking through the blue filter.
saturation and hue settings interact with each other so after making this setting you may want to go
back and check that the saturation setting is correct.
Ensure that the audio output from the RS-VP2 is connected to the AV Receiver/Processor. Note that
both the optical and coaxial outputs are active simultaneously. Also note that multi-channel PCM
audio, like that encoded on Hd-dVd and blu-ray must be transmitted by HdMi, as optical and
coaxial are incapable of carrying these formats. Make sure that HD-DVD or Blu-ray Player is outputting
bitstream only if the AV receiver does not have an HDMI audio input. If the AV Receiver does have an
HdMi input, connect the HdMi output from the rs-Vp2 to the aV receiver and the output from the aV
Receiver to the display. If there is no picture displayed, revert to using optical or coaxial digital audio.
Some AV receivers are incapable of passing high resolution video signals (1080p).
STEP 9 – Source Optimization – RS-VP2 Adjustments
STEP 8 – Display Optimization – Using Display Adjustments
To get the best performance out of each of the sources you should individually calibrate each input
specifically to the connected source. In this section, all picture control adjustments are made using
the RS-VP2’s picture controls. Keep in mind that if you replace a source with a new component you
will also want to recalibrate the input. To calibrate each source correctly you will need the source to
output a reference test pattern similar to what is built in to the RS-VP2. For sources like DVD, LD
and D-VHS, this content is readily available. But for a source like HD satellite or cable, these test
patterns are played on channels like HDNet at off hours. So if you have a DVR, JVC recommends
that you record these test patterns.
The RS-VP2 has several test patterns to assist in the setup of the display. Adjustments should be
made on the display, not on the RS-VP2, to correctly setup the RS-VP2 and display.
Gray Ramp
The ‘Gray ramp’ can help verify that the display is showing the gradients between black and white
correctly. You should see a smooth transition between black and white with this test pattern. If there
is banding on the extreme right and left of this test pattern with ‘Video’ output levels, change the
‘Output Levels’ to ‘PC’.
VRS Optimization & Evaluation DVD
This DVD will assist in setting up the input to which the DVD player is connected. JVC recommends
that you use a digital connection, DVI or HDMI, or a high quality analog connection, like component
video. Don’t use S-Video or Composite video for a higher quality source like DVD. Before calibrating
the input for the DVD player, make sure that the DVD player is set to ‘16:9’ output, not ‘4:3’. You will
also want to turn off any extraneous features like noise reduction which may add more noise than
help. Set all picture settings on the DVD player to either ‘Off’, ‘default’, or ‘0’.
Brightness/Contrast
The ‘Brightness/Contrast’ test pattern will assist you in setting up both the brightness (black level)
and contrast (white level) of the display. The ‘Brightness/Contrast’ test pattern is composed of 4
quarter-screen blocks. Two of the blocks have a background level of standard black and the other
two blocks have a background level of standard white. Embedded in the black blocks are 3 bars.

two different displays, like a plasma for day usage and a front projector for night usage that need
different output settings, or to drive a single display with different settings, one setting optimized

Input Aspect Ratio Control
Advanced Setup
The Input Aspect Ratio control selects the aspect ratio for the current input signal. The RS-VP2
automatically converts from the selected input aspect ratio to the selected output aspect ratio.
Setting up the RS-VP2 for a 2.35:1 Constant Image Height Configuration
The RS-VP2 can be configured to work in conjunction with an anamorphic lens. The most common
configuration with one of these lenses is a 2.35:1 screen with a 16:9 projector. This lens can
be fixed or motorized. If the lens is motorized, it should only be used when viewing 2.35:1
content. The motorized lens should be connected Trigger #2 on the back of the RS-VP2.
Thecorrectoutputaspectratiosettingforthisconfigurationis ‘Lens’option‘Mode1–Auto’ andthecorrect
‘12V Trigger 2’ setting is ‘Lens’.
The Input Aspect Ratio control selects the aspect ratio for the current input signal. The RS-VP2
automatically converts from the selected input aspect ratio to the selected output aspect ratio.
push the Aspect button once to show the current input aspect ratio control function. To cycle through
the available functions, push the Aspect button repeatedly.

Advanced Control — Setting up the RS-VP2 to Output 24Hz/48Hz
(For Film-Based Content)
for the Zoom, pan and borders functions, push the por ▼ button to select the two control settings
available: horizontal and vertical. Push the Enter button to adjust each setting.
Some displays, mostly front projectors, can display a 24, 48 or 72Hz signal (which is a multiple of
film’s 24 frames per second). To verify if the connected display can accept one of these framerates
use the ‘Judder’ test pattern. This pattern displays a bar that bounces back and forth at the chosen
output frequency selected in the ‘framerate’ parameter. When this test pattern is displayed correctly,
the bar moves smoothly across the screen and bounces from side to side. When this pattern is
displayed incorrectly, this bar may ‘tear’ as it moves across the screen. If your display does accept
24Hz or 48Hz a ‘Display Profile’ should be saved for viewing film-based content in addition to a
standard 50/60Hz video ‘Display Profile’.
•
•
Push pand q to increase or decrease the setting.
Push Exit again to exit this mode.
NOTE: The Zoom and Pan functions are applied to the input signal, not the output. This is an
important consideration, especially for the Pan function. For example: If you do not zoom a full
frame image more than 100%, there is nothing to pan. However, if part of the image is not on the
screen, then the Pan function will work.

Video input signals are usually classified in the following two ways:
•
When the AAR is less than the OAR, the RS-VP2 puts up Borders on the left and right as
shown below:
•

Frame Aspect Ratio
Active Input Aspect Ratio
Active Input
Area
Borders
Frame Aspect Ratio
Frame Aspect Ratio (FAR) consists of two possible ratios: 4:3 or 16:9. DVD discs encoded in a 16:9
frame are sometimes referred to as anamorphic or enhanced for widescreen TV’s. For example, a
non-anamorphic widescreen DVD has a FAR of 4:3.
•
When the AAR is equal to the OAR (Output Aspect Ratio), the RS-VP2 supplies no border
as shown below:
Active Aspect Ratio
Active Aspect Ratio (AAR) is the aspect ratio of the image or content (movie). This content is typically
stated on the back cover of DVD discs. Some common active aspect ratios are as follows:
Active Input
Area
1.33:1 (4:3)
1.55:1
1.66:1
1.78:1 (16:9)
1.85:1
Zoom
2.35:1
The Zoom function zooms in on or magnifies the image on your display. The minimum zoom is 100%,
(no zooming); the maximum zoom is 150% (zoom magnification factor of 1.5X). Zoom controls can
be accessed by using the OSD or by using the direct access button on the remote control. On the
remote control, push the Zoom button followed by the p/ ▼ buttons to vertically zoom the image or
the Left/Right buttons to horizontally zoom the image. The amount of horizontal and vertical adjust-
ment will be displayed on the front panel display.
To use aspect ratio’s in addition to these, the rs-Vp2 provides the option to choose a custom aspect
ratio called ‘User’ with a range of 1.01:1-3.00:1.
Panorama
Using the OSD, select the control that you would like to adjust, Horizontal or Vertical zoom, and push
the Enter button to show the current Zoom setting. Push the pand ▼ button to increase or decrease
the zooming factor. Zoom can only increase the size of the image.
The Panorama function displays a 4:3 image in a non-linear stretch mode on a 16:9 display. This
can be useful for extended viewing of this content on a display susceptible to burn-in, like a plasma
or CRT.
NOTE: The Zoom and Pan functions are applied to the input signal, not the output. This is an
important consideration, especially for the Pan function. For example: If you do not zoom a full
frame image more than 100%, there is nothing to pan. However, if part of the image is not on the
screen, then the Pan function will work.
RS-VP2 Image Mapping
The situation when the Frame Aspect Ratio (FAR) is the same as the Active Aspect Ratio (AAR) is
sometimes called Full Frame. This situation is illustrated below.
Pan
The RS-VP2 maps the AAR to the Output Aspect Ratio (OAR) in the following three ways:
The Pan function allows the image to be shifted up, down, left and right. Note that the Pan function
can only be used after the image has been zoomed to any value greater than 100%. Pan controls
can be accessed by using the OSD or by using the direct access button on the remote control. On the
remote control, push the pan button followed by the p/ ▼ buttons to vertically pan the image or
the t/ ubuttons to horizontally pan the image. The amount of horizontal and vertical adjustment
will be displayed on the front panel display. Using the OSD, select the control that you would like to
adjust, Horizontal or Vertical pan, and push the Enter button to show the current Pan setting. Push
the p and ▼ button to increase or decrease the panning factor.
•
When the AAR is greater than OAR, the RS-VP2 puts up Borders at the top and bottom
as shown below:
Active Input
Borders
Area
Borders
The Borders function allows you to add horizontal and/or vertical borders around the image. These
borders obscure part of the input image. Certain input-to-output aspect ratios already result in
left/ right or top/bottom border being added. This control allows the system-generated borders to
be extended, or for borders to be added when none exist. As the borders are adjusted (see below)
the rs-Vp2 temporarily increases the gray level of the borders so that they are visible during the
adjustment process. The level will return to normal after the adjustment has ceased.

image. Push the ▼ button to move the left and right borders away from the image and decreases
their width. If there are system-generated left/right borders already present (for example,
when the input aspect ratio is 4:3 and the output aspect ratio is 16:9), the border width cannot be

the system will not allow you to save the preset setting.
Vertical Border Control: push the p button to move the top and bottom borders towards the
middle of the image, increasing the border height and cutting off the sides of the input image.
push the ▼ button to move the top and bottom borders away from the image and decrease their

beyond the base height created by the aspect ratio conversion. Borders are automatically added
by the system when the active input aspect ratio is not the same as the output aspect ratio as
explained earlier in this guide. However you can add more borders using the Borders menu.

and wants to avoid any loss of cadence lock while watching that source. This mode weaves
two adjacent fields together starting with an even field and combining it with the following
odd field. This will provide a higher quality overall signal than the ‘Auto’ or ‘Film Mode’
settings, providing that the source really is 2:2 pulldown and does not have bad edits.

prep is a video processing technology, which is exclusive to JVC that converts a progressive
signal to its original interlaced format so that it can be subsequently deinterlaced by JVC’s Precision
Deinterlacing. With PReP, in addition to performing an outstanding job deinterlacing interlaced
formats, an RS-VP2 can now improve a previously poorly deinterlaced progressive format. PReP
works with 480p, 576p, 1080p/50 and 1080p/60. Turning PReP ‘On’ and ‘Off’ allows the user to
compare the deinterlacing done by the source versus the deinterlacing done by the RS-VP2.

Input Level
The input level setting allows the user to specify the levels of the input signal, either Video (16-235)
or PC (0-255). This control only works with an input signal that has RGB color space.
Progressive Cadence Detection™
•
•
Video
PC
Film-based content, which originated at 24 frames per second, may be broadcast at 50Hz or
60Hz. JVC’s unique Progressive Cadence Detection can lock on to the original 3:2 or 2:2 cadence
in the content, reacquiring the original 24 frames per second. This signal can then be output at
a source-locked 24Hz, 48Hz, or 72Hz eliminating the judder that existed in the original signal.
Progressive Cadence Detection can be used with 480p, 576p, 720p and 1080p input signals.
VCR Mode
VCr Mode decouples the output timing completely from the input timing to ensure a stable
output from the RS-VP2 for VCR playback especially during trick-play modes (play forward, play
reverse, still/pause). This mode is available on the composite and S-Video inputs.
progressive Cadence detection should be used when the input frame rate and output frame rate
are different. For example, if the input frame rate is 60Hz and the content is film-based (24fps) and
the output frame rate is set to 24Hz (or a multiple of 24) than this feature should be set to ‘On’.
•
•
•
On – Output timing is decoupled from the input timing regardless of Frame Rate settings.
Off – Output timing is dependent on Frame Rate settings.
Pass Through
Auto - Turns on VCR Mode if a VCR source is detected. This is the default setting.
The RS-VP2 can pass signals through as well as process them. With some signals, like those coming
from a pC, no processing may be desired in which case this setting can be set to ‘on’ to allow this
signal to pass through the RS-VP2. Note that if an analog signal is passed through the RS-VP2 there
will be no video output on the HDMI output, and vice versa. This mode can also be used to see the
signal processed by the RS-VP2 versus the processing done by the display. The default for this setting
is ‘Off’. This is a setting that is saved on a “per input/per format” basis.
HDMI Configuration
HDCP Mode
There are two HdCp modes:
•
•
Off: HDCP is disabled at the RS-VP2’s HDMI input. Some sources turn off HDCP
in this case and the RS-VP2 drives a non-HDCP DVI display or an analog display.
Overscan
The Overscan function scales the input image proportionally in both vertical and horizontal
dimensions by the user-specified overscan factor. The purpose of Overscan is to remove unwanted
image portions around the perimeter of the image. The default overscan value is 0, which means 100%
of the input image is shown. The maximum overscan value is 20 which means the input image is
scaled up by 120%. This is a setting that is saved on a “per input/per format” basis.
On: The RS-VP2 continuously looks for a HDCP source on its HDMI input.
This is the default setting.
NOTE: The RS-VP2 is not designed to remove HDCP from a protected signal. If this setting is set to
‘on’ make sure that the corresponding HdCp Mode setting on the output is also set to ‘on’
To adjust the overscan level:
Auto AR
In addition to carrying audio and video, HDMI can carry other information, like aspect ratio (AR).
if you would like the rs-Vp2 to automatically set the ar based on the information on the
HDMI signal, than set this setting to ‘On.’ This AR information can be wrong or implemented
incorrectly, so this setting is defaulted to ‘Off’.
1. Push the por qbutton. The current level is shown.
2. Push the por qbutton to decrease or increase the amount of overscan.
3. The Overscan value is applied to all input aspect ratios and is independent of the Zoom value.
Auto Color Space
Image Shift
In addition to carrying audio and video, HDMI can carry other information, like color space.
if you would like the rs-Vp2 to automatically set the ar based on the information on the HdMi
signal, than set this setting to ‘On’, which is the default. If this setting is set to on, the ‘Colorspace’
adjustment will be unavailable.
The Image Shift adjustment allows the user to vertically and horizontally adjust the image, when
the input signal is 480i/576i on the SDI or HDMI inputs or a PC resolution on the analog BNC input.
This function can be set independently for different input formats. The default setting for the
horizontal and vertical shifts is midrange, 0.

Auto Input Priority Selection
Contrast
The auto input priority selection function assigns different priorities to the video input’s automatic
active video selection mode (AUTO in Input Select menu). First select the video input then change
the priority of that input.
Contrast adjusts the ratio between white and black signal levels and is effective as a gain control.
The difference between this and the brightness control is that this adjusts the difference between
the brightest and darkest part of the image. Note that all displays have a maximum white level.
Going beyond this level only “clips” the upper gray levels and you will lose color resolution at the
brighter levels. Adjust this control up until you see the brighter levels of the image begin to wash out,
at this point, back it down just below that point. The default setting is midrange, 0.
1 - press the qbutton. The first video input VIDEO 1 is shown.
2 - press the Enter button to view the current priority of the selected input.
3 - press the por qbutton to change the priority of the selected input.
4 - press the Exit button again to complete the priority assignment.
5 - Repeat Steps 1 through 4 to select the next video input and adjust the priority setting.
Saturation
The RS-VP2 allows you to control the saturation of the image independent of the display.
Saturation is the same as the “Color” control on most TVs and controls the richness of the color in the
image. The default setting is midrange, 0.
Audio Input
Hue
The Audio Input function assigns an audio input to the currently selected video input. Four digital
audio inputs and a single analog audio input are available. The HDMI inputs can accept both audio
and video. To assign the audio input to another video input, push the p/qbuttons. The front panel
display (FPD) shows the current setting. For more info about how to assign an audio input to a video
input, refer to Audio Input Operation.
As with Saturation, hue can also be controlled independent of the display. Hue is the same as the
“Tint” control found on most TVs and controls how colors are displayed in the image. The Hue control
is not available for Component or PAL/SECAM inputs. The default setting is midrange, 0.
Y/C Delay
Sometimes there is a lag between the Luminance (Y) and the Chrominance (Pb/Pr or Cb/Cr) of
the video signal. This causes a color “smearing” because the color component of the image is not
lining up properly to the black and white luminance component of the image. The RS-VP2 can
compensate for these errors in the source signal by shifting the phase of the Y with respect to the
C, forward or backward to align them properly. Use the pand qbuttons to adjust the phase and
observe the effects on your display to obtain the optimal setting. The default setting is 0.
AV Lip Sync™
The RS-VP2 automatically delays the input audio to match the video processing delay.
You can choose to increase or decrease the audio delay by changing this setting. Push the por
qbutton to display the current additional bias delay setting (default 0). Up to 200 milliseconds
of delay can always be added to the audio signal after the rs-Vp2 has compensated for the video
delay. Use the por qbutton to increase or decrease the delay in milliseconds.
Chroma Filter (Auto CUE-C™)
This feature removes chroma upsampling errors (CUE) found in video sources which have been MPEG
NOTE: The total audio delay cannot be less than 0, that is, the rs-Vp2 cannot have negative audio
delay. If you choose to decrease the automatic delay setting by a certain amount, this value could be
changed by the RS-VP2 in situations where the RS-VP2’s calculated delay plus the specified additional
delay results in a value less than 0.
encoded and then improperly decoded.
•
•
•
Off - No chroma filtering. Use this setting if the source does not have a CUE problem.
On - Chroma filtering is always on. Use this setting if the source is known to have a CUE problem.
Picture Controls
Auto - Automatic chroma error detection and correction. Use this setting when you don’t
know if a source has a CUE problem. Also use this setting for all digital sources which use
MPEG2 decoders (DVD players, digital satellite receivers, and so on.) as it will also detect and
correct chroma errors created by all sources of this type when the source is encoded as
interlaced (also sometimes called Interlaced Chroma Problem, or ICP). This is the default
setting.
For each input there are different picture memories for each accepted input resolution.
These memories are accessed automatically when an input resolution is detected.
Fine Detail Enhancement
This control enhances the fine detail in images. Fine detail can be sharpened by adjusting the control
into the positive range, up to 100, and it can be softened by adjusting this control into the negative
range, down to -100. The default setting on this control is midrange, 0.
Configuration
Test Patterns
Edge Enhancement
The rs-Vp2 has 27 internal test patterns to assist in the setup of your individual sources and your
display. To learn more about how to use the internal test patterns, refer to Section - 3: Setup. To
turn the test patterns on and off, use the Test Pattern On/Off button. To navigate backwards and
forwards through the available test patterns use the tand ubuttons, respectively.
This control enhances the sharpness of images on the edges. Edges can be sharpened by adjusting
the control into the positive range, up to 100, and they can be softened by adjusting this control
into the negative range, down to -100. The default setting on this control is midrange, 0.
Auto Standby
Brightness
The default setting is ‘off’, which means rs-Vp2 is always in active mode, regardless of the
activity state of the selected input. If Auto Standby is ‘On’, the RS-VP2 goes into Standby mode
30 seconds after the selected input becomes inactive. To see the current setting, press por q.
Then press the same button again to change the setting.
This control adjusts the brightness (black level) of the overall image output from the RS-VP2.
If you turn it up too high, it may make black look gray. In general, you should adjust this up until
you see the black areas of your display turn gray and then back it down just below that point.
The default setting is midrange, 0.

Output Aspect Ratio Control
There are five controls for Output Aspect Ratio (OAR):

Underscan
The Display Aspect Ratio is the full aspect ratio of the display, normally specified in the display manual.
The most common display aspect ratios are 4:3 and 16:9. Less common ones are 5:4, 2.35:1 and
others. The example below shows a 4:3 projector with a 16:9 screen.
Underscan represents the visible display area, a sub-set of the Active Output Area. Underscan is like
a negative zoom which preserves the aspect ratio of the active area. The default for this setting is 0.
as you increase underscan, the smaller portion of the active display area appears while preserving the
aspect ratio of the active display area. The Frame Geometry Test pattern should be used while making
this adjustment.

tant for creating video timing signals for the display. Input video data is never mapped to this region.
The Sync Type option sets the synchronization signal type of the output format. Press the por q
button to show the current sync type. Press the same button again to move to the next sync type.
Currently, the rs-Vp2 supports seven sync types:
A video projector can also be used in conjunction with an anamorphic lens. An anamorphic lens allows
the user to focus the maximum resolution and brightness into a specified area, either 16:9 or 2.35:1.
The most common configuration is a constant image height (CIH) system with a 16:9 projector, an
anamorphic lens and a 2.35:1 screen. In this configuration, the anamorphic lens can either be fixed or
motorized. If the lens is fixed then the proper ‘Lens’ mode is ‘Mode 1’ when the content has a 2.35:1
aspect ratio, or higher, and ‘Mode 2’ is for content that has an aspect ratio less than 2.35:1.

Panamorph “Lens” modes defined:
Mode 1: Content is displayed by the projector vertically stretched by 33%.
Mode 2: Content is horizontally squeezed by 25%. This mode is necessary for fixed-lens
applications with 16:9 projector/2.35:1 screen and 4:3 projector/16:9 screen
configurations.
Color Space
The color space parameter sets the color space of the output format. Press the Enter or ? button
to show the current color space. Press the same button again to select the alternate color space.
Two analog color space options are supported: YPbPr (default) and RGB. Two digital color space
options are supported: RGB (default) and YCbCr (both 4:2:2 and 4:4:4).
In a CIH system with a motorized lens, it should only be used when the input content has a 2.35:1,
or higher, aspect ratio. The proper mode to use with a motorized anamorphic lens is ‘Mode 1 – Auto’.
in this mode, the proper ‘lens’ mode is automatically selected based upon the selected active ar on
the input. If the Active AR is 2.35:1 or above, “Mode 1” is activated, if the Active AR is below 2.35:1,
“None” is selected. With this mode selected, the ‘Display’ and ‘Screen’ options will also be grayed
out. If the motorized anamorphic lens also has a 12V trigger, it can be automated by connecting to
Output Level
The output level setting allows the user to specify the levels of the output signal, either Video
(16-235) or PC (0-255).
Trigger #2 on the back panel, and setting the ‘Output Setup
Trigger 2’ setting to ‘Lens’.
_
When the display aspect ratio is not the same as active output aspect ratio and the lens mode is
set to ‘none’, the mask is set to blanking levels and always centers the position of the active area
over the display area. Image shift allows you to adjust the location of the image on your screen both
horizontally and vertically when the ‘Screen’ aspect ratio is not equal to the ‘Display’ aspect ratio. The
example below shows 16:9 projector (1.78:1) and a 2.35:1 screen, you can shift the image to match
the exact location of your screen. In this situation, the image is shifted down putting all of the mask at
the top of the projected image.
Framerate Conversion
This parameter enables frame rate conversion. There are four sets of controls, one for 24Hz input
sources, one for 25Hz input sources, one for 50Hz input sources and one for 60Hz input sources.
For 24Hz sources, the output frame rate can be 24Hz, 48Hz or 60Hz, which allows the user to view
24Hz content on a 60Hz display. For 24Hz sources the output can also be unlocked to 50Hz so that
this content can also be viewed on a 50Hz display.
29
30

For 50Hz sources, the output frame rate can be either 50Hz or unlocked at 60Hz, which allows the
user to view PAL/SECAM content on an NTSC display. For 60Hz sources, the output frame rate can
be either 60Hz or unlocked at 50Hz, which allows the user to view NTSC content on a PAL/SECAM
display.
A. The display only supports 60Hz input. In this case, the RS-VP2 must produce a (nominal)
60Hz output. For 60Hz sources you can run in either 1:1 source-locked mode, or in
unlocked mode with the output frame rate set to approximately 60Hz. You might
choose unlocked mode if the display takes a long time to re-sync to new inputs and
you channel-surf a lot. Locked mode will provide the smoothest motion and guar-
antee no dropped or repeated frames. For 50Hz sources, you’d set the RS-VP2’s
output to unlocked with a (nominal) 60Hz frame rate. This will result in some motion
irregularities as the RS-VP2 periodically repeats frames to convert the 50Hz input
to the 60Hz output rate, but since the display only supports 60Hz inputs there’s not
much you can do.
First of all, note that there are separate settings for 60Hz sources and 50Hz sources. This allows
you, for instance, to configure the RS-VP2’s output to behave differently with NTSC and PAL sources.
one potential advantage of this is that if you have a display which only works at a single frame rate
— say, 60Hz — that you can have the RS-VP2 run in locked mode (see below) for 60Hz sources while
applying 50Hz to 60Hz frame rate conversion for all 50Hz sources.
B. The display only supports 50Hz input. This is the opposite of case A, and the required
configuration is also the opposite — i.e., the output frame rate for 60Hz source should be
set to 50Hz unlocked, and the rate for 50Hz sources can be set to either 1:1 locked or
unlocked at 50Hz (for all the same reasons noted in the first example).
Locked mode (1:1): This means that the rs-Vp2’s output frame rate tracks the input rate —
i.e., the output rate is locked to the input rate. In the 1:1 mode — i.e., 60Hz source-locked to 60Hz, and
50Hz source-locked to 50Hz — there is always exactly one output frame for every input frame/
field. This mode has the advantage that there are never any dropped or repeated frames (unless
the source itself does this). One disadvantage of this mode is that when the video source is changed,
the RS-VP2 has to re-lock to the new input signal timing. This causes a disruption in the RS-VP2’s
output signal while the locking process occurs, and can cause many displays to loose sync to the
RS-VP2’s signal and temporarily blank.
C. The display supports a wide range of frame rates (e.g., a front projector). In this case
you can configure things most any way you like. If motion judder with 3:2 pulldown
bothers you, then use the RS-VP2’s 24Hz, 48Hz or 72Hz source-locked output options for
film-based 480i sources. If not, then 60Hz locked is a good choice. For 50Hz sources,
unless you notice display flicker at 50Hz, you’d probably want to run at 50Hz locked to
avoid repeated/dropped frames.
Unlocked mode: This means that the RS-VP2’s output frame rate is independent of the input rate.
Regardless of any variations in the input, the output frame rate will be fixed at the specified value.
This mode results in the most stable output signal as it’s independent of any changes in the input
signal. Unlike the locked mode(s), the RS-VP2’s output signal timing will not be disrupted when the
input source is changed. However, it’s guaranteed to cause dropped or repeated frames as the input
and output frame rates are not the same. Note that regardless of what number the unlocked output
frame rate is set to, it will never be identical to the input rate in this mode as the output signal timing
is independent of the input timing. These dropped/repeated frames can result in visible irregularities
in smooth motion, sometimes called motion judder or stutter.
D. A digital display supports a narrow range of frame rates, either around 50Hz or
72/75Hz. If the display supports both 50Hz and 48Hz, and the primary use of 60Hz
source is film-based material, then you would likely want to configure the RS-VP2 as 48Hz
source-locked for 60Hz sources, and 50Hz locked (or unlocked, if desired) for 50Hz
sources. If the higher frame rate (72/75) is desired or required, then both source types
can be configured for the 3:3 source-locked output option. For non-film material you may
find that there’s too much motion stutter, although that tends to be a very personal thing
as not everyone perceives this the same way (as with low frame rate display flicker).
Locked mode (2:2 or 3:3): For standard definition interlaced sources the RS-VP2 can detect 2:2
and 3:2 pulldown cadences and convert these to either a 2:2 or 3:3 frame repetition rate. The main
advantage of this is for 60Hz sources using 3:2 pulldown, as the irregular 3:2 pattern can be
converted to 2:2 at 48Hz or 3:3 at 72Hz. In these modes, each original film frame is repeated
exactly 2 or 3 times, respectively, and motion is therefore smoother. Note that these modes are only
useful when the video source is film-based — i.e., 3:2 pulldown for 24Hz film on 60Hz sources, and
2:2 pulldown for 25Hz film on 50Hz sources. If the source is not film-based, then the end result is a
lot like unlocked mode without that mode’s stability advantages.
Border Level
The border level setting is global, that is, there is only one border level setting for the system.
To adjust the border level, push the por qbutton. The current level is shown. The default value is
‘0’. Push the por qbutton to decrease or increase the border level.
Picture Controls
The rs-Vp2 has picture memories for each accepted format which are automatically saved and
recalled on each input. In addition to these controls, the RS-VP2 has Output Picture Controls that
can be used for multiple applications. One application is to save two separate output modes for
day and night time viewing where the ambient light changes in the viewing environment. Another
application is to adjust the output for two separate displays. There are two user modes available, titled
‘Preset 1’ and ‘Preset 2’. To make adjustments to one of these modes, first select the desired mode
in the ‘Preset’ submenu and then make the desired changes to the Output Picture Controls. Controls
that are available in the output picture Controls menu are:
Motion-judder test pattern: The rs-Vp2 has a built-in test pattern generator to help you
determine which frame rates your display supports. This is the test pattern with the vertical bar which
pans horizontally back and forth across the screen. Note that this test pattern is used to determine
the capabilities of your display, and does not provide any indication of motion smoothness (or lack
thereof) in the RS-VP2’s output. The test pattern is used with the unlocked output mode of the RS-VP2.
You set the (unlocked) output frame rate to be the one you’re testing your display for, and
observe if the back and forth panning motion of the test pattern is smooth or if it jerks or stutters.
if the former, then the display supports that particular resolution and frame rate without perform-
ing any frame rate conversion of its own; if the latter, then the display is performing frame rate
conversion on the signal.

These modes can be recalled using the Viewing Modes button on the remote control.
Installer Note: The trigger ports are outputs and are not designed to directly receive a 12-volt
trigger signal from another device, like an amplifier, automation controller or 12-volt power supply.
Care has been taken in the design to ensure that if this was done, no harm should come to the video
processor – but it is strongly recommend that other devices are checked to ensure that the trigger
ports on the RS-VP2 are not being “back-fed”.
There are also three additional modes which can be saved by a imaging science foundation
certified calibrator. These calibrators have been trained on proper display calibration methodology.
Gamut
Driving Relays: When driving a relay from the 12-volt trigger port(s), we strongly recommend
wiring a clamping diode in parallel to suppress transient spikes when the relay is turned off. Some
relays include a clamping diode within the relay package. If it is unknown whether the relay includes
a clamping diode, check the relay coil with an ohmmeter – with the red and black leads touching
the coil pins one way the Ohmmeter should read approximately 0 Ohms resistance (+/-0.4 Ohms),
and with the leads red and black leads switched the ohmmeter should read between 18 ohms and
100 Ohms. If the same value is indicated for both directions (and it’s above 1 Ohm), add a standard
“general diode” like a 1N4001 (can be found at any electronic components store) across the relay
coil pins (see the figure below for connection diagram).
The RS-VP2 has the ability to output a SMPTE-C (REC 601) color gamut from both the RS1 and the
RS2. The native color gamut on these projectors provides a gamut that is wider than the gamut of
the current content. There are three options in this submenu:
• Wide
• RS1
• RS2
When ‘Wide’ is selected there is no change made to color gamut. When ‘RS1’ is selected, the color
gamut is automatically adjusted so that a connected RS1 projector outputs a SMPTE-C color gamut.
When ‘rs2’ is selected, the color gamut is automatically adjusted so that a connected rs2 projector
outputs a SMPTE-C color gamut.
HDCP Mode
There are two HdCp modes:
•
•
Off: HDCP is disabled at the RS-VP2’s HDMI output.
On: The RS-VP2 continuously looks for a HDCP display device on its HDMI output.
This is the default setting.
NOTE: The RS-VP2 is not designed to remove HDCP from a protected signal. If this setting is
set to ‘On’ make sure that the corresponding HDCP Mode setting on the input is also set to ‘On’.

12V Triggers
The two 12-volt trigger ports are designed to supply a combined total of 500ma which is split between
the two devices based on their draw, so one device can draw up to 495ma if the other only draws
5mA — or both can draw 250mA. These devices do not need to have the same current draw to work.
This is enough current to drive one or two 12-volt relays, suitable for turning on a lens and projector,
for example. If the combined draw exceeds 500mA, the video processor is protected against
overload. The state of the 12V triggers can individually be adjusted in the ‘Configuration’ menu.
This is helpful if the default state of the connected device is incorrect. For example a screen may be
set to go up, when in fact the desired state for the screen is to be down.
Solid State Loads: The 12-volt triggers do not have a minimum load requirement, which enables
our triggers to drive solid state control devices (MOSFETs and optocouplers) found within newer
devices.
Audio Output Selection
The RS-VP2 can output audio over the S/PDIF outputs (optical and coaxial) or the HDMI
output (with video). The S/PDIF and HDMI audio outputs are not active simultaneously. If the S/PDIF
output is being used to send audio to a connected AV receiver or processor, select the ‘S/PDIF’ option.
if the HdMi output is going to an aV receiver or processor, or the audio is being run to the display
using HDMI, select the ‘HDMI’ option.
When the Trigger Level is set to “Normal”, it will supply +12vdc on the TIP when active, and will pull
the TIP to Ground (0vdc), referenced to the SHIELD—when inactive. When the trigger port is set to
“Negative”, it will pull the TIP to Ground (0vdc), referenced to SHIELD—and will supply +12vdc to the
TIP when inactive. The SHEILD will never carry the +12vdc supply signal. To ensure that damage
is not caused, please check the manual of the device that you intend on connecting to the rs-Vp2
before inserting the trigger plug into the jack.
Display Profiles
Trigger #1 is powered on when the RS-VP2 is powered on. Trigger #1 is powered off when

izing a screen or lift.
Trigger #2 can be programmed to be powered on in the ‘Output Setup’ menu. This action
can be saved as part of a Display Profile. The ‘Lens’ option facilitates use of an anamorphic
lens.
