While there are many different ways to connect your source equipment to your VHD-4402 ULTRA, 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 quality.
12 To get started using your VHD-4402 ULTRA and projector, follow these simple steps: 1. Ensure all sources that you are using are properly connected to the VHD-4402 ULTRA.
13 QUICK SET-UP GUIDE Overall Functional Description The VHD-4402 ULTRA’s purpose is twofold. First, it provides aspect ratio control and can do so on either a WIDESCREEN or a standard 4:3 screen. Second, it pro- vides a clean, progressive signal to the projector.
14 The main menu (shown above) includes two sections: Source Selection/ Picture quality adjustments and Functional adjustments. Pressing MENU on the front panel or on the remote control will bring up the main menu. In the menu shown above, Composite video is selected as the current source.
Aspect Ratio allows selection of one of the three aspect ratios provided by the processor. You have two options for selecting an aspect ratio: First, highlight ASPECT RATIO on the main menu, then press ENTER. Then select the desired aspect ratio, and again press ENTER.
16 After pressing ENTER, the picture quality menu will appear (the menu to the right of the main menu above). To adjust a certain function, highlight it with the or DOWN buttons, and press ENTER.
• SHARPNESS This controls the ‘high-frequency’ detail of the image. The more sharpness is increased, the more detail is added into the picture. However, if it is increased too much, it will also increase ‘noise’ in the picture as well as other types of artifacts.
18 An ‘aspect ratio’ is simply the ratio of the width vs. the height of the screen. For example, the current aspect ratio standard is 4:3 (or 1.33:1), where the image is 4 units wide and 3 units tall. ASPECT RA TIOS First, the Basics 4 units wide 3 units tall All of our ‘regular’ televisions are this aspect ratio.
As you can see, our screen in this example is a 1.85:1 ratio. The dashed lines show the area that we ‘blanked’. If you recall, watching a letterbox movie on a 4:3 screen gave us black bars; therefore with letterbox movies, we’re not losing any information! The ‘other’ type of widescreen is called ‘ANAMORPHIC’.
