Elegant and electrifying, the LightStyle™ Series LS-HB Home Theater Projector is Runco’s first-ever 1080p projector designed for both performance and esthetics. Where sleek design encompasses incredible performance, this stylish combination of legendary Runco engineering and impactful design yield a powerhouse that elevates the bar for affordable home theater projection.
Designed inside and out by Runco’s award-winning engineering and design team, the LS-HB incorporates Runco’s proprietary engineering, advanced features and performance enhancements to achieve an elevated home theater experience.
The LS-HB is equipped with a precision optics package offering zoom, focus and lens shift controls and a throw range of 1.89:1 to 2.40:1. For installations requiring shorter throw distances, the LS-HB is optionally available with a lens that offers a throw range of 1.59:1 to 1.86:1.
To ensure a perfect fit in any room at any time, the LS-HB incorporates the ISF™ (Imaging Science Foundation) calibration suite for optimal performance in various rooms and lighting conditions. These calibration tools feature day and night calibration memory settings, individual sharpness and noise reduction controls, programmable image memory selection keys, built-in test patterns and a dark room-optimized remote.
Runco’s advanced ViVix™ digital video processing enhances the LS-HB picture quality and provide artifact-free scaling. Rounding out this impressive projector are discrete input source, aspect ratio and power on/off, as well as an RS-232 interface for seamless integration with automation control systems.
For uncompromised widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the CinemaScope™ 2:35:1 format, the LS-HB can also be paired with one of Runco’s award-winning anamorphic lens solutions. Through an ingenious combination of software, electronics and precision anamorphic optics, the Runco anamorphic lens system maintains constant image height on the screen just as in a movie theater. When a viewer transitions from 1.78:1 (16:9) program material to superwide 2.35:1, the image simply gets wider while image height is maintained. The projection system is able to use the full pixel array, thereby producing a 2.35:1 image with enhanced resolution and increased brightness. No resolution or image area is lost to those black bars that contain no picture information.
Note | An anamorphic lens requires the use of a 2.35:1 (or similar aspect ratio), |
“superwide” format screen. |
