Description, Features
and Benefits
Runco further solidifies its leadership role with the introduction of the Video Xtreme™
VX-33i Digital Light Processing (DLP™) Projector. This overachiever combines
state-of-the-art, 1920x1080 SuperOnyx™ DLP™ resolution with advanced 3-chip
engineering. The results are simply stunning, with jaw-dropping images that must be seen
to be believed!
Runco has taken 1080p performance to a new level with this machine and harnessed the
brightness and contrast capabilities inherent in 3-chip light engine design for a powerful
presentation.
The VX-33i is equipped with an all-digital signal processor/controller featuring advanced
Vivix II™ video processing, superb scaling and aspect ratio control. The VX-33i is
enhanced further by significant horizontal and vertical lens shift capability for maximum
installation flexibility.
The VX-33i’s 16:9 native aspect ratio DMD array makes it ideal for widescreen viewing,
while its 3-chip, 1920x1080 native resolution produces crisp, crystal clear high-definition
images with richly saturated colors, deep black levels and natural, highly refined detail.
This advanced design provides pure digital connections from input to light engine for
absolutely stellar pictures. In addition, Runco’s multiple aspect ratio control includes its
unique VirtualWide™ mode for viewing standard video formats in widescreen without loss
of image quality.
For uncompromising widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope”
(2.35:1) format, the VX-33i 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 VX-33i 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.
