Runco 1080p manual Description, Features and Benefits, Format screen

Introduction

Runco’s VX-44d and VX-55d bring the most advanced technology, 1080p SuperOnyx™ resolution and the world’s first THX® Certified home video products together in truly awesome fashion.

They use a new, ingeniously engineered 3-chip DLP™ light engine, combined with an advanced Xenon lamp illumination system to bring astoundingly high performance and ultra high resolution to the very best home theaters on the planet.

The VX-44d features a 1000W Xenon lamp, while the VX-55d uses a 1.2-kW Xenon lamp to produce Runco’s brightest 1080p pictures ever. Four CinOptx™ zoom lenses are available with broad AxiShift™ motorized horizontal and vertical lens shift capability. Runco engineers have ensured that light is efficiently culminated through the implementation of O-Path™ technology and have also engineered ISF™ calibration standards into these projectors.

The VX-44d and VX-55d are furnished with Runco’s newest, next-generation, all-digital DHD Controller, featuring advanced Vivix II™ processing, superb scaling, and the industry’s most advanced aspect ratio control system.

For uncompromising widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope” (2.35:1) format, the VX-44d/-55d 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-44d/-55d 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.
