Mounting the 
Dimension Digital 
ControllerThe Dimension Digital Controller unit can be placed on any flat, stable surface such as a 
shelf or table, or it can be rack-mounted using the supplied mounting hardware. Place it in 
a location that provides easy access to the power connectors. 
The Dimension Digital Controller unit requires 2U (3.5 inches) or more of vertical rack 
space. 
To mount the Dimension Digital Controller in a standard, 19-inch equipment rack, install 
the mounting ears on either side of the chassis using the supplied screws; see Figure 3-7. 
Then, secure the mounting ears to the rack.

System 
InterconnectionsProceed as follows to connect the LS-12HBd system components to each other and to 
AC power.
When connecting your equipment:
 Turn off all equipment before making any connections.
 Use the correct signal cables for each source. 
 For best performance and to minimize cable clutter, use high-quality cables that are 
only as long as necessary to connect two devices. (Don’t use a 20-foot cable when a 
6-foot cable will suffice.) 
 Ensure that the cables are securely connected. Tighten the thumbscrews on 
connectors that have them.
Connecting the Dimension
Digital Controller to the
ProjectorDigital Video Connection: Connect the HDMI Out To Pri. Display connector on the 
Dimension Digital Controller to the PRIMARY input on the projector. Similarly connect the 
HDMI Out To Sec. Display connector on the Dimension Digital Controller to 
SECONDARY input on the projector. 
RS-232 Connection: Connect the Pri. Display Control output from the Dimension 
Digital Controller to the RS232 input on the projector. 
Use a standard, modular telephone cable with RJ11 plugs at both ends. On the projector 
end, use the provided RJ11-to-DB9 adapter. This adapter is wired as shown in Figure 
3-8. 
Figure 3-8. RS-232 Connection from the Dimension Digital Controller to the 
Projector
➤
Runco recommends using the RS-232 communication link 
between the LS-12HBd projector and the Dimension Digital 
Controller. However, display control using HDMI CEC control 
messages is also possible. For more information on this capability, 
please contact Runco Technical Support.

Additional Connections to 
the Dimension Digital 
Controller (Optional)  The Dimension Digital Controller provides the following interfaces to external equipment 
that allow it to control or be controlled by that equipment:
 An RS-232 interface to a PC or control/automation system;
 Three (3), 12-volt trigger outputs;
 An infrared (IR) repeater input;
 An Ethernet network interface for firmware updates and maintenance notifications.
The following sections describe how to make these interface connections. 
RS-232 Controller Connection: Use a straight-through, 9-pin RS-232 cable to connect 
a PC or control/automation system (if present) to the RS-232 port on the Dimension 
Digital Controller; see Figure 3-11.

Connecting 12-volt Trigger Outputs to External Equipment: If your LS-12HBd is 
equipped with an anamorphic lens, connect the +12V Trigger Input on the lens transport 
to a 12-volt trigger output on the Dimension Digital Controller; see Figure 3-12. 
Similarly connect other 12-volt trigger-activated equipment (such as retractable screens or 
screen masks) to the other trigger outputs.

Connecting an External IR Receiver to the Dimension Digital Controller: If infrared 
signals from the remote control cannot reach the Dimension Digital Controller due to 
excessive distance or obstructions such as walls or cabinet doors, you can connect an 
external IR receiver to extend the range of the remote control. See Figure 3-13.

HDMI Source Connections: See Figure 3-16. 
Figure 3-16. HDMI Source Connections Use the HDMI inputs whenever possible. This ensures the highest 
video quality because the signal is carried in the digital domain 
throughout the entire signal path, from source component output 
into the projector. 
You can also connect computers with DVI output to these inputs. 
Refer to Supported Timings on page 129 for a list of compatible 
input signals.
