Description, Features
and Benefits
The Reflection™ VX-4000d and VX-5000d incorporate Runco’s exclusive Enhanced
GEN
3™ engineering advancements to make more efficient use of optical light engine
design. This results in greater light output and dramatically increases contrast ratio.
Among the advances Runco has developed are a sophisticated color balancing system
and Reflectance Volume Regulation™ (RVR™), which provides the perfect balance of
black and white levels.
These engineering achievements are combined with lens choices featuring world-class
optics and lens shift versatility. The resulting images are superb. In fact, the VX-5000d can
easily surpass the black levels of film projectors!
Included with the VX-4000d/VX-5000d is Runco’s Digital High Definition (DHD™)
Controller, featuring advanced Vivix II™ video processing, superb scaling and aspect ratio
control. Runco’s exclusive LiveLink™ DVI cable system circuitry is integrated into the
projector to preserve HD signal quality over long runs.
The VX-4000d produces an impressive 1600 ANSI lumens of light output (CSMS™ light
output of 16.9 to 29.2 ft-Lamberts). The VX-5000d produces 1700 ANSI lumens of light
output (CSMS light output of 17.2 to 29.7 ft-Lamberts).
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-4000d/VX-5000d 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-4000d/VX-5000d 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.
