Description, Features
and Benefits
When you select a Signature Cinema projector as the centerpiece of your home cinema,
Runco becomes your partner in achieving the most extraordinary entertainment
experience. As part of this personalized approach, Runco has engineered the SC-1 with a
variety of setup tools allowing installation professionals to customize this projector for your
unique home.
The SC-1 uses the exclusive Signature CineStep Process™ to produce exceptionally
deep black levels, dynamic contrast and detail, and eliminate undesirable RGB
characteristics associated with digital projection. With seven lens choices as well as
anamorphic lens options, the Signature Cinema SC-1 can be tailored for use in any home.
Its tremendous light output is suitable for screens as wide as 40 feet, while the system’s
digital controller eliminates any video artifacts while faithfully processing input signals.
The SC-1 incorporates today’s most advanced widescreen DLP™ technology, with three
SuperOnyx™ DMDs™ boasting a phenomenal native resolution of 2048 x 1080. Runco
has engineered Imaging Science Foundation™ calibration standards into the SC-1 for the
purest video performance, and has incorporated horizontal and vertical lens shift controls
to resolve even the most difficult projector placement issues.
The SC-1 is supplied with Runco’s next-generation, Digital High Definition (DHD)
Controller, featuring advanced Vivix II™ processing. The DHD Controller produces
stunning video imagery, elevating even standard NTSC material to near high-definition
levels.
Multiple aspect ratio control includes Runco’s VirtualWide™ for viewing 4:3 material in
widescreen with no loss of picture quality. The DHD provides for a pure digital signal path
from input to output, making this system ready for Runco’s exclusive LiveLink™ DVI cable
solution to preserve HD signal quality over long runs.
For uncompromising widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope”
(2.35:1) format, the SC-1 can be equipped with Runco’s patent-pending 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 SC-1 is CineWide with
AutoScope™, an enhanced, remote-controlled motorized version of CineWide.
Discrete IR and RS-232 control make custom installation seamless, while discrete source
and aspect ratio selection accommodate any automation control system.
