Description, Features
and Benefits
The CL-810 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 features Runco's powerful SuperOnyx™ technology for bright, pristine
high-definition images.
Contrast ratio and dynamic range extend to new heights with Runco's exclusive
Reflectance Volume Regulation™ (RVR), an electronically-controlled iris system.
The CL-810 is equipped with a precision optics package offering a power zoom control
and a throw range of 1.80:1 to 2.43:1. The CL-810 Ultra provides even greater installation
flexibility, with six lens options from which to choose offering throw distances ranging from
1.22:1 to 5.68:1. For rear-projection applications, a fixed, short-throw lens is also available
with the CL-810 Ultra.
The CL-810'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-810 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. The CL-810 incorporates Runco-proprietary
de-interlacing technology that provides exceptional scaling and film-to-video (3:2
pulldown) conversion for the most artifact-free images possible.
For uncompromising widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope”
(2.35:1) format, the CL-810 can be equipped with Runco’s 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. Also available with the CL-810 Ultra is CineWide with
AutoScope™, an enhanced, remote-controlled motorized version of CineWide.
The CL-810 is available with or without the SDC-1, a versatile, high-performance digital
video switcher. By providing a single, convenient connection point for home theater
components that is separate from the projector, the SDC-1 gives designers and installers
greater flexibility in terms of projector placement. It also simplifies the task of adding
components after the projector has been installed.
Discrete IR and RS-232 control make custom installation seamless, while discrete source
and aspect ratio selection accommodate any automation control system.
