Description, Features
and Benefits
The new Video Xtreme™ Portfolio of 3-chip DLP™ projectors represent Runco’s ultimate
achievement in video projection design and performance. These models have been
created for the very finest home theater and home cinema applications and true
connoisseurs of big-screen picture perfection.
With Runco’s three-chip implementation of DLP, no color wheel is used, reducing
mechanical complexity and compromises to color spectrum purity. Four models are
offered with configuration options creating sixteen distinct versions, for a lineup so broad
and versatile that custom-tailoring for any conceivable installation requirement is now
possible.
All models feature newly designed Xenon illumination systems for tremendous light output.
The VX-40d and VX-60d are equipped with a 1.0 kW lamp, while the VX-50d and VX-80d
boast an impressive 1.2 kW lamp to produce our brightest pictures ever. Runco’s Xenon
lamp intensity control system can operate at lower output levels as well, for use with
smaller screens to preserve maximum black level performance and extend lamp life.
The VX-40d and VX-50d feature a native resolution of 1280 x 720, utilizing advanced 16:9
SuperOnyx™ DMD™ technology. The VX-60d and VX-80d use a new SuperOnyx DMD
array calibrated for 788p resolution on 16:9 screens, with an anamorphic lens option
bringing resolution all the way up to a native 1400 x 1050 for stunning, high-definition
performance.
All models offer world class CinOptx™ Telesto lenses, usually associated with the most
expensive professional screening applications. Telesto lenses are available in five different
throw distance ranges to accommodate a wide variety of implementations.
The VX-40d/-50d/-60d/-80d is supplied with Runco’s next-generation, all-digital DHD
Controller, featuring advanced Vivix II™ processing. This 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.
Runco has engineered ISF™ calibration standards into every model for the purest video
performance and has incorporated AxiShift™ technology with a motorized horizontal and
vertical lens shift system to resolve even the most difficult projector placement issues.
For uncompromising widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope”
(2.35:1) format, the VX-40d/-50d/-60d/-80d 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-40d/-50d/-60d/-80d 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.
