The CL-610 Series DLP Projectors offer the astounding picture quality and versatility  
heretofore associated with more expensive projectors. Their 1280 x 720 native resolution  
DLP light engine incorporates all-new technology for bright, pristine high-definition  
images.  
1.3  
Description, Features  
and Benefits  
With throw distances of 1.37 – 1.82:1 on the CL-610 and 1.87 – 2.47:1 on the  
longer-throw CL-610LT, both units offer the performance and installation flexibility custom  
home theater enthusiasts have come to expect from Runco — all at a superb price and  
packaged with outstanding build quality.  
Advanced Runco Vivix™ digital video processing is engineered into these all-new  
projection systems to achieve improved image quality even from standard video sources,  
in addition to artifact-free scaling of higher resolution formats.  
The CL-610's illumination system incorporates Runco's exclusive Selectable Lamp  
Intensity Control™ (SLIC™), which provides two light intensity levels to allow maximum  
flexibility for screen size, ambient light conditions, brightness and contrast balance, and  
lamp life preservation. It also has a newly-refined cooling system, which increases  
efficiency and reduces noise levels.  
The CL-610 has been engineered to comply with Imaging Science Foundation™ (ISF)  
standards for maximum home theater image quality. Runco's sophisticated parameters  
for white balance and color gamut control have also been implemented for precise  
balance of gray scale and color.  
For uncompromising widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope”  
(2.35:1) format, the CL-610 can be equipped with Runco’s patent-pending CineWide™  
technology, a combination of software, electronics and high-quality anamorphic optics.  
CineWide maintains constant vertical height on the screen just as in a movie theater.  
When a viewer transitions from 1.78:1 (16:9) program material to 2.35:1, the image simply  
gets wider while full height is maintained.  
CineWide requires the use of a 2.35:1 or similar aspect ratio superwide  
format screen.  
Note  
Discrete IR and RS-232 control make custom installation seamless, while discrete source  
and aspect ratio selection accommodate any automation control system.

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.  
3.3  
Installation  
Considerations  
Choose 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.  
Installation Type  
Table 3-2. Projector Installation Options  
Advantages  
Front Screen, Floor Mount Installation  
• Shares floor space with audience  
Considerations  
• Easy to set up  
• Can be moved or changed quickly  
• Easy to access  
Front Screen, Inverted Mount (ceiling) Installation  
• Does not take up audience space  
• Projector is unobtrusive  
• Installation is more permanent  
• Projector access is more difficult  
• Projector cannot be accidentally moved  
Rear Screen, Floor Mount Installation  
• Projector is completely hidden  
• Projector is easily accessed  
• Requires separate room  
• Installation cost is usually higher  
• Usually good ambient light rejection  
Rear Screen, Inverted Mount (ceiling) Installation  
• Projector is completely hidden  
• Requires separate room  
• Usually good ambient light rejection  
• Installation cost is usually higher  
Rear Screen, Floor Mount with Mirror  
• Projector is completely hidden  
• Usually good ambient light rejection  
• Requires less space behind screen than  
other rear screen installations  
• Requires separate room  
• Installation cost is usually higher  
In 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.

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.  
Estimating Throw Distance  
Throw Distance (TD) = Screen Width (w) x Lens Throw Ratio

Proper placement of the projector relative to the screen will yield a rectangular,  
perfectly-centered image that completely fills the screen.  
Vertical and Horizontal  
Position  
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.  
The top of the projected image is even with the lens center when the projector is inverted  
(ceiling-mounted). Likewise, the bottom of the projected image is aligned with the lens  
center when the projector is upright (as in a floor installation). See Figure 3-2.

Figure 3-2. Projector Placement  
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 3-3. The position of the projector and  
mirror must be accurately set. If you are considering this type of installation, contact your  
dealer for assistance.

Other Considerations  
Other 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.  
There are several methods for mounting the projector. Depending on your chosen  
installation, one method may be more suitable than another.  
3.4  
Mounting the CL-610  
Floor Mounting (Upright)  
In typical front and rear screen installations, the projector can be placed upright on 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 CL-610 and suspend it from the  
ceiling using a specially-designed ceiling mount fixture.  
Use only the Runco-approved ceiling mount kit designed for your  
projector. Install the mount kit according to the instructions  
Caution  
provided with it.  
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).  
Adjusting the Projector  
Height or Projection Angle  
If the screen is significantly higher or lower than the projector, you can also tilt the  
projector at a slight angle. In a ceiling installation, you do this by adjusting the ceiling  
mount.  
For a floor installation, turn the four adjustable  
feet on the bottom of the projector to adjust  
the projector height and/or projection angle.  
If you do this, you may need to make  
keystone adjustments or vertically shift the  
image using the on-screen display (OSD)  
controls, to compensate. For detailed  
instructions, refer to Using the On-Screen

Height (Y) Adjustment:  
Adjusting the Anamorphic  
Lens  
1. Project a white field on the screen.  
2. Ensure that the four Y-Adjustment Screws are loose enough to allow movement of  
the lens assembly.  
3. Slowly move the anamorphic lens into place so that there are no shadows on the top  
or bottom of the screen:  
Too Low  
Correct position  
Too High  
4. When the height is properly set, tighten the Y-Adjustment Screws to secure the lens in  
place.  
Adjusting the Pitch (Angle): Next, angle the lens to even out any top-to-bottom  
pincushion distortion. To do this, loosen the Pitch Adjustment Screws on either side of the  
lens to allow it to pivot freely. Then, adjust the anamorphic lens angle so that the projected  
image is rectangular:  
Correct Lens Angle  
Incorrect Lens Angle  
The anamorphic lens will almost always be angled with respect to the projector; this is  
normal.  
Once the proper lens angle has been set, firmly tighten the Pitch Adjustment Screws to  
secure the lens in place.

To avoid clipping the corners of the image, position the anamorphic  
lens as close as possible to the primary lens.  
Tip  
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.

The CL-610 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 input  
separately.  
When you change a picture quality setting, save the change to a  
Note  
preset afterwards. Otherwise, the change will be lost when a  
different input is selected. (Picture quality settings are saved for  
each input and resolution separately.) For information about saving  
settings, refer to Store Image Settings on page 37.

Although it may be possible to obtain satisfactory picture quality using the naked eye and  
regular program material, Runco recommends using the following calibration tools for best  
results:  
• External test pattern source -- Ovation Multimedia, Digital Video Essentials or AVIA test  
DVD or equivalent.  
• A blue filter (provided with many test DVDs), for color level and tint adjustments.  
Connect your test pattern source to the input that you are calibrating and proceed as  
follows. Perform the adjustments in the order listed here.  
Brightness: On your external test pattern source, select a PLUGE pattern. (PLUGE is an  
acronym for “Picture Line-Up Generation Equipment.”) Figure 4-2 shows a typical PLUGE  
pattern.  
Below Black  
Above Black  
Figure 4-2. Typical PLUGE Pattern for Adjusting Brightness  
PLUGE patterns vary but generally consist of some combination of black, white and gray  
areas against a black background. The example above includes two vertical bars and four  
shaded boxes.  
Select Brightness from the Adjustment menu and press ENTER. Adjust the brightness so  
that:  
• The darkest black bars disappear into the background.  
• The dark gray areas are barely visible.  
• The lighter gray areas are clearly visible.  
• The white areas are a comfortable level of true white.  
• The image contains only black, gray and white (no color).

Contrast: On your external test pattern source, select a stepped, gray-bar pattern like the  
one shown in Figure 4-3.  
Figure 4-3. Typical Gray Bar Pattern for Adjusting Contrast  
Select Contrast from the Adjustment menu and press ENTER. Adjust the contrast to a  
point just below which the white rectangle starts to increase in size.  
Brightness and contrast controls are interactive. A change to one  
may require a subtle change to the other in order to achieve the  
optimum setting.  
Note  
Color Saturation: On your external test pattern source, select a color bar pattern like the  
one shown in Figure 4-4.

Select Color from the Adjustment menu and press ENTER. While looking at the color bar  
pattern through a blue filter, adjust the color saturation level until the outermost (gray and  
blue) color bars appear to be a single shade of blue:  
Tint: Tint or “hue” is essentially the ratio of red to green in the color portion of the image.  
When tint is decreased, the image appears redder; when it is increased the image  
appears greener. To set the tint, select Tint from the Adjustment menu and press ENTER.  
While looking at the color bar pattern through a blue filter, adjust the tint level until the cyan  
and magenta color bars (on either side of the green bar) appear to be a single shade of  
blue.  
Like the brightness and contrast controls, the color and tint controls  
are interactive. A change to one may require a subtle change to the  
other in order to achieve the optimum setting.

Sharpness: “Sharpness” is the amount of high-frequency detail in the image. To adjust  
sharpness, select Sharpness from the Adjustment menu and press ENTER. On your  
external test pattern source, select a pattern like the one shown in Figure 4-5. Adjust as  
needed, looking for white edges around the transitions from black to gray and  
differently-sized lines in the “sweep” patterns at the top and bottom. Lower the sharpness  
setting to eliminate them.  
Figure 4-5. Typical Test Pattern for Adjusting Sharpness  
The Sharpness setting has no effect if the Sharpness Filter (see  
below) is set to 0.  
Note  
Filter: The Filter setting controls the behavior of the Sharpness control. The available  
settings depend on the vertical resolution of the input signal, as follows:  
With a 480i signal, you can apply the sharpness control to either the input signal (1),  
the output signal (2), both (3) or neither (0).  
With a 480p or higher-resolution signal, the sharpness control is applied only to the  
output signal and only when you set the Sharpness Filter to “on” (1).

Color Temperature: The CL-610 has six memory settings for Color Temperature. Four  
of these settings are factory set to default as follows:  
Color Temperature  
• 0 -- Original lamp color temperature  
• 1 -- 5400 kelvins  
• 2 -- 6500 kelvins  
• 3 -- 8500 kelvins  
• 4 -- Custom  
2 -

• 5 -- Custom  
Custom 4 and 5 memory are installer-adjustable and can be used to create custom  
settings. There are nine adjustable “white balance” parameters available for the Custom 4  
and 5 settings (three each for red, green and blue). These are described later in this  
section; refer to Set Up on page 42.  
You must enter a passcode in order to enter the Set Up menu.  
Note  
ICC Selection: Use the ICC Selection menu to select the color space that is appropriate  
for the source signal, to achieve optimal color balance.  
The International Color Consortium (ICC) is a group of imaging  
product vendors that promotes and develops cross-platform,  
vendor-neutral color measurement and management standards.  
Note  
If you select NTSC, HDTV or PAL, you can make further adjustments to individual color  
space characteristics in the ICC Adjust sub-menu under the ISF Calibration menu,  
described later in this section. (The Standard color space is factory-set and not  
adjustable.)  
Store Image Settings: Once the desired adjustments have been entered, select Store  
Image Settings to save these settings into the “Memory 1” memory location.  
Restore Image Settings: To recall stored custom image quality settings, select Restore

higher-resolution signals for optimum picture quality.  
• Auto: Adjusts the phase, frequency and position automatically.  
• Freq. Adjusts the frequency of the signal.  
• Phase: Adjust the phase if the image (usually from an RGB source) shows shimmer or  
“noise.” Pixel phase adjusts the phase of the pixel sampling clock relative to the  
incoming signal. The effect of this control is similar to that of a tracking control on a  
VCR.  
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. (You may  
find that you can stabilize the image at more than one point. Use either setting in this  
case.)

White Balance: To remove any trace of color from the white areas of the projected  
image, choose White Balance from the Set Up menu and press ENTER.  
• Gamma: “Gamma” is a global setting that determines how gray shades are displayed  
between minimum input (black) and maximum input (white) for all signals. A good  
gamma setting helps to optimize blacks and whites while ensuring smooth transitions  
for the “in-between” values utilized in other grays. Unlike “Brightness” and “Contrast”  
controls, the overall tone of your images can be lightened or darkened without  
changing the extremes and all images will be more vibrant while still showing good  
detail in dark areas.  
Remote Control  
Reset Lamp Timer  
Fan Control  
Return to User OSD  
In all but the most unusual situations, the appropriate “Gamma Selection” (see below)  
will produce accurate colors and a satisfying contrast level. However, it is sometimes  
necessary to adjust the red, blue and green gamma curves individually. To do this,  
select Gamma from the White Balance sub-menu and use the left- and right-arrow  
buttons to manipulate the on-screen slidebars.  
• 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,  
green or blue, decrease the Gain for that color.  
• Offset: Use the Offset controls in the White Balance sub-menu 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, green or blue, decrease the Offset for that color.  
• Store Color Temp.4/Store Color Temp.5: When you are finished adjusting the  
Gamma, Gain and Offset, select Store Color Temp.4 or Store Color Temp.5 to store  
your settings. To recall them, set the Color Temperature to +4 or +5 in the Image  
Adjustment menu (refer to Picture Adjustment on page 32).  
Gamma Selection: The normal gamma setting of 2.2 is correct for almost all signals and  
conditions. 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 will  
improve 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.  
Again, good gamma improves contrast while maintaining good details for blacks and  
whites.

SD Enhance: The SD Enhance menu gives you options for improving the quality of  
standard-definition, 480i images. (For 480p and higher-definition images, the controls in  
this menu are disabled.) Keep in mind that these controls add frequencies that are not  
present in the original signal, and may make images appear “noisy” if misused.  
• H Enhance/V Enhance: These controls can improve the apparent horizontal and/or  
vertical resolution of the image.  
• Chroma Enhance: This control adds chroma (color information) to the input signal  
and can make colors appear more vibrant and saturated.  
• H Threshold/V Threshold/Chroma Threshold: Set these to +11 or higher to  
activate the enhancement controls described above. Generally, the higher the  
threshold, the more noticeable the enhancements you make will be.  
Image Over Scan: Image Over Scan 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. Over scan effectively  
trims away these inactive, outer edges and enlarges the remaining portion of the image to  
fill the display area.  
Use the on-screen slidebar to select the desired amount of over scan.  
For HDTV, DVDs and other video sources, Image Over Scan is generally not necessary or  
desirable.  
Image Shift: The Image Shift menu allows you to precisely center the image on the  
screen. (These controls are available only with a 480i source signal.)  
• Horizontal: This control moves the image right or left within the area of available pixels.  
• Vertical: This option moves the image up or down within the area of available pixels.  
1. To adjust the image position with a 480p or higher-resolution  
source, use the PC & HD Adjust controls in the Option menu,  
described on page 41.  
Note  
2. The values shown represent where the approximate center of the  
image lies in relation to the total number of pixels available  
horizontally or vertically. This varies widely according to the  
signal; watch the image while adjusting.  
Amplitude Adjust: The Amplitude Adjust menu allows you to fine-tune the  
currently-selected image aspect ratio by stretching it horizontally or vertically, in small  
increments. This can be useful if your projector is equipped with an anamorphic lens.  
The Horizontal control adjusts the image width while keeping the height constant.  
Similarly, the Vertical control adjusts the image height while keeping the width constant.  
Horizontal Masking (CL-610/CineWide and CL-610LT/CineWide only): To achieve  
the proper image geometry with the secondary anamorphic lens, select Horizontal  
Masking from the Set Up menu. Then, use the or button to change the native aspect  
ratio of the display, in small increments.

Video Black Level: This control compensates for incoming elevated black levels present  
in certain video signals, and ensures that blacks in the display are neither “crushed”  
(where dark grays appear black) nor excessively elevated (where blacks appear dark  
gray). By default, the projector automatically determines the best setting according to the  
type of incoming video signal:  
• 0 IRE: Used for DVD output with “enhanced black,” SECAM, most PAL standards and  
Japanese NTSC.  
• 7.5 IRE: Used for most NTSC video signals.  
For some types of video, you may want to override the setting. Generally, if black appears  
crushed when brightness = 30, choose “0 IRE.” If black appears excessively elevated, use  
“7.5 IRE.”  
Lamp Power: Select Lamp Power from the Set Up Menu to adjust the lamp output level.  
You can choose to run the lamp as bright as possible (250W; this is the default setting) or  
you can choose the lower (200W) setting. Generally, lower lamp output can prolong the  
life of the lamp, but decreases brightness.  
Remote Control: The Remote Control menu shows you the primary and secondary  
infrared (IR) codes to which the CL-610 will respond. The Primary IR code is permanently  
set to +20. The secondary IR code is also +20.  
You can change the secondary IR code if either:  
• Another device in the theater (a DVD player, for example) is responding to commands  
from the CL-810 remote control in ways that are unpredictable or undesirable.  
• You have multiple CL-610 projectors and want to control them independently, as  
opposed to broadcasting commands from a single remote to all of them. In this  
scenario, you can use multiple remotes programmed to use different IR codes. Or, you  
can use a single remote and change the IR code as needed to address a specific  
projector.  
When you change the secondary IR code, the remote sends that code instead of the  
primary IR code.  
The Remote Control menu is read-only and need not be visible in  
order to change the secondary IR code.  
Note  
To simultaneously change the secondary IR code and synchronize that remote with a  
projector, point the remote at the projector, then press and hold and simultaneously  
for five seconds. The Remote Control edit window, shown at right, appears. Type a new,  
two-digit code.  
The procedure for changing the secondary IR code on the remote only is the same,  
except that you point the remote away from the projector.

ICC Adjust: Use the ICC Adjust controls to customize the stored NTSC, HDTV and/or  
PAL color space characteristics. To do this, select the color space to modify. Then, select  
a component color (Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Cyan or Magenta).  
For each component color, you can adjust the following:  
• Intensity: This slidebar adjusts the intensity – also known as luminance – of a given  
color.  
• Sat. This slidebar adjusts the color saturation level – the amount of that color in a video  
image. Lower settings produce less saturated colors; a setting of “0” removes that  
color from the image entirely. If the saturation is too high, that color will be  
overpowering and unrealistic.  
• Hue: This slidebar adjusts the red/green color hue for true color reproduction of video  
signals. For best results, adjust tint while displaying an external color bars test pattern  
(see Figure 4-4). Otherwise, it is recommended that Hue remain at its default setting.  
When you have finished customizing the color space, select Store Setting and press  
ENTER.

Store Settings: For each input, the CL-610 lets you store image quality settings as  
presets that you can recall at a later time. You can create up to three presets per input  
and resolution.  
When you change a setting, save the change to a preset  
Note  
afterwards. Otherwise, the change will be lost when a different  
input is selected. (Most settings are saved for each input and  
resolution separately.)  
To store image quality settings to a preset:  
1. Select Picture Adjust from the ISF Calibration menu.  
2. Select Color Temperature from the Picture Adjust menu.  
3. Use the  
or  
button to set the color temperature to “4” or “5.” Make a note of  
your selection.  
4. Press EXIT.  
5. Adjust brightness and contrast as described in the Picture Adjustment section  
(page 32). Exit the Picture Adjustment menu when finished.  
6. Select White Balance from the ISF Calibration menu. Adjust the grayscale as required  
7. From the White Balance menu, select “Store Color Temp. 4” or “Store Color Temp. 5”  
(depending on your selection in Step 3) and press ENTER.  
8. From the ISF Calibration menu, select Save ISF Settings and choose “Save ISF Night”  
to store your settings.  
9. Repeat Steps 1 through 8 for the “Save ISF Day” preset.  
The first time you perform this procedure, store the current white  
Tip  
balance settings in both color temperatures (4 and 5). This will give  
you a convenient starting point for color temperature 5, should you  
wish to use it for the other preset.  
To recall stored custom image quality settings, select Restore Image Settings from the  
“Memory 1,” “ISF Night” or “ISF Day.” Or, simply use the corresponding buttons on the  
remote control.  
Splash Screen Timer: Use the or button to set the Splash Screen Timer. This timer  
controls how long the startup (ISF and Runco logo) image stays on-screen after you turn  
on the projector. Select from 5 to 60 seconds, in one-second increments. When finished,  
press EXIT.  
ISF Enable: Select ISF Enable from the ISF Calibration menu to control the display of the  
ISF logo on the CL-610 splash screen upon power-up.  
You can personalize the CL-610 splash screen with the projector owner’s name and/or

Table 7-1. CL-610 Specifications (continued)  
Brightness and Contrast:  
Cinema Standards Measurement System (CSMS)  
Specifications  
-
-
Brightness: 14.5 to 21.6 foot-Lamberts (fL)  
Contrast Ratio: 200:1 to 220:1  
These measurements are taken from the projector in a controlled,  
home theater environment. All measurements are made to  
ANSI/NAPM IT7.228-1997 specifications using the Photo Research  
PR-650 SpectraColorimeter and Minolta LS-100 Luminance Meter,  
Video Essentials test DVD and a 1.3 gain, 72-inch wide screen. The  
projector is calibrated to a color temperature of 6,500K and has a  
minimum of 150 hours of usage.  
The foot-Lambert (fL) is the unit of measurement used in commercial  
movie theaters to express image brightness at the screen surface. The  
Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) specifies  
16 fL as the target image brightness for film-based projectors using an  
open gate (without film in the projector). More importantly, today  
SMPTE specifies 12 fL as the target image brightness in Digital  
Cinema theaters. The foot-Lambert measurement is dependent on  
screen size, screen gain and projector light output.  
Home Theater Calibration Specifications  
-
-
Light Output: 442 to 587 ANSI Lumens  
Contrast Ratio: 200:1 to 220:1  
These specifications are obtained by calibrating the projector as  
described above for CSMS measurements.  
Industry-Standard Specifications  
-
-
Light Output: 1250 ANSI Lumens  
Contrast Ratio: 1500:1 to 3100:1  
These are typical projector brightness and contrast specifications  
found in most companies’ sales literature. Runco includes these  
measurements in its literature to allow for direct comparison with other  
manufacturers’ projectors. These measurements are typically taken at  
9,000K to 13,000K to get expected performance data when the  
projector is used in professional, commercial and industrial displays.
