Introduction

Runco steps into the future once again with the Video Xtreme™ VX-2i Digital Light Processing (DLP™) Projector, one of the first DLP projectors to offer a 16:9 native resolution, 3-chip system for home theater.

The VX-2i optical light engine utilizes three advanced, 16:9 Digital Micromirror Device™ (DMD™) chips featuring 1280 x 720, high-definition resolution and 12-degree mirror tilt for unsurpassed black level performance. Unlike previous, single-chip DLP implementations, no color wheel is used. This reduces mechanical complexity and compromises to color spectrum purity. The impressive brightness inherent in 3-chip systems is further bolstered by the improved contrast capabilities of the VX-2i light engine design, offering the best of both worlds.

The VX-2i is equipped with an embedded, all-digital signal processor/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-2i is enhanced further by significant horizontal and vertical lens shift capability for maximum installation flexibility.

The VX-2i produces an impressive 2500 ANSI lumens of light output (CSMS™ light output of 52.1 ft-Lamberts). The VX-2i’s 16:9 native aspect ratio DMD array makes it ideal for widescreen viewing, while its 3-chip, 1280 x 720 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 CinemaScope™ 2.35:1 format, the VX-2i can be equipped with Runco’s CineWide™ with AutoScope™ system, which 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.

Discrete IR and RS-232 control make custom installation seamless, while discrete source and aspect ratio selection accommodate any automation control system.

The VX-2i offers these key features and benefits:

•Native Resolution: 1280 x 720 (16:9 Native Aspect Ratio)

•3-chip Digital Light Processing (DLP™) system

•Two DVI Inputs with High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP)

•HDTV Ready

•Multiple Lens Options for Throw Distance Flexibility
