Overall Functional Description
The DLC-2000HD system consists of the PFP Controller and the DLC-2000HD Projector. This
system is unique in the way it is controlled; the control center for this system is located within the PFP
Controller. The Controller tells the Projector to turn on or off, keeps track of its lamp hours, controls its
brightness, contrast, color temperature and more. All of this is accomplished by Runco's unique
ComLink, which is the transfer of information between the Controller and the Projector via their
ComLink ports (on an RJ-11 cable). Therefore, only the PFP Controller's remote control is necessary
to control all aspects of this system. In a nutshell, this is a fully integrated video display system, of
which its components all work together to bring you the video quality and functionality needed in a
quality home theater.
Besides being the system's control center, the PFP Controller is also a high-quality scaler, which
outputs all signals in the native resolution of the DLC-2000HD Projector. The Composite, S-video and
Component (non-progressive) signals are sent through the PFP Controller's 10-bit decoder, de-inter-
laced then scaled to the native resolution of the Projector. This method of scaling is the most efficient
and provides the best results since the Projector does not have to do any 're-scaling'.
In the next chapter, the menu system will be described in detail. There are many adjustments
available to perfect the DLC-2000HD's image, including typical 'front-panel controls' as well as color
temperature and other image-quality controls.
