Description, Features
and Benefits
Elegant and electrifying, the LightStyle™ Series LS-HB Home Theater Projector is
Runco’s first-ever 1080p projector designed for both performance and esthetics. Where
sleek design encompasses incredible performance, this stylish combination of legendary
Runco engineering and impactful design yield a powerhouse that elevates the bar for
affordable home theater projection.
Designed inside and out by Runco’s award-winning engineering and design team, the
LS-HB incorporates Runco’s proprietary engineering, advanced features and
performance enhancements to achieve an elevated home theater experience.
The LS-HB is equipped with a precision optics package offering zoom, focus and lens
shift controls and a throw range of 1.89:1 to 2.40:1. For installations requiring shorter
throw distances, the LS-HB is optionally available with a lens that offers a throw range of
1.59:1 to 1.86:1.
To ensure a perfect fit in any room at any time, the LS-HB incorporates the ISF™ (Imaging
Science Foundation) calibration suite for optimal performance in various rooms and
lighting conditions. These calibration tools feature day and night calibration memory
settings, individual sharpness and noise reduction controls, programmable image memory
selection keys, built-in test patterns and a dark room-optimized remote.
Runco’s advanced ViVix™ digital video processing enhances the LS-HB picture quality
and provide artifact-free scaling. Rounding out this impressive projector are discrete input
source, aspect ratio and power on/off, as well as an RS-232 interface for seamless
integration with automation control systems.
For uncompromised widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the
CinemaScope™ 2:35:1 format, the LS-HB can also be paired with one of Runco’s
award-winning anamorphic lens solutions. Through an ingenious combination of software,
electronics and precision anamorphic optics, the Runco anamorphic lens system
maintains constant image height on the screen just as in a movie theater. When a viewer
transitions from 1.78:1 (16:9) program material to superwide 2.35:1, the image simply
gets wider while image height is maintained. The projection system is able to use the full
pixel array, thereby producing a 2.35:1 image with enhanced resolution and increased
brightness. No resolution or image area is lost to those black bars that contain no picture
information.
An anamorphic lens requires the use of a 2.35:1 (or similar aspect ratio),
“superwide” format screen.
