Synchronization Issues
Due to its extraordinarily high level of video processing performance, the DHD Controller 
may distribute video signals with a perceptible level of audio latency. In order to easily 
solve this issue, Runco recommends using the DHD Controller with a high-quality audio 
receiver that has the ability to effectively synchronize audio and video signals.
Most mainstream audio receiver/switchers have the ability to synchronize the audio and 
video to the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) prescribed tolerances.  
According to the ATSC, the sound program should never lead the video program by more 
than 15 milliseconds, and should never lag behind the video program by more than 45 
milliseconds.
In addition, many video displays and A/V receivers introduce additional latency that needs 
to be compensated for during the installation. Table 3-3 shows the amount of possible 
audio latency given different signal input timings. 
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.
