Introduction

Runco steps into the future once again with the Video Xtreme™ VX-8d Digital Light Processing (DLP™) Home Theater Projector and DHD Controller.

The VX-8d optical light engine utilizes three, 16:9 SuperOnyx™ Digital Micromirror Device™ (DMD™) chips featuring 1280 x 720, high-definition resolution 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 three-chip systems is further bolstered by the improved contrast capabilities of the VX-8d light engine design, offering the best of both worlds.

The VX-8d comes with an external, all-digital signal processor/controller/scaler featuring advanced Vivix III™ video processing, superb scaling (up to 1080p) and aspect ratio control. The VX-8d is enhanced further by significant horizontal and vertical lens shift capability for maximum installation flexibility.

The VX-8d produces an impressive 2000 ANSI lumens of light output (CSMS™ light output of 110 ft-Lamberts).

The VX-8d’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 “scope” (2.35:1) format, the VX-8d 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-8d is CineWide with AutoScope™, an enhanced, remote-controlled motorized version of CineWide.

Note

CineWide requires the use of a 2.35:1 or similar aspect ratio superwide

format screen.

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