Introduction

The CL-810 Series DLP Projectors offer the astounding picture quality and versatility heretofore associated with more expensive projectors. Their 1280 x 720 native resolution DLP light engine features Runco's powerful SuperOnyx™ technology for bright, pristine high-definition images.

Contrast ratio and dynamic range extend to new heights with Runco's exclusive Reflectance Volume Regulation™ (RVR), an electronically-controlled iris system.

The CL-810 is equipped with a precision optics package offering a power zoom control and a throw range of 1.80:1 to 2.38:1. The CL-810 Ultra provides even greater installation flexibility, with six lens options from which to choose offering throw distances ranging from 1.22:1 to 5.68:1. For rear-projection applications, a fixed, short-throw lens is also available with the CL-810 Ultra.

The CL-810's illumination system incorporates Runco's exclusive Selectable Lamp Intensity Control™ (SLIC™), which provides two light intensity levels to allow maximum flexibility for screen size, ambient light conditions, brightness and contrast balance, and lamp life preservation. It also has a newly refined cooling system, which increases efficiency and reduces noise levels.

The CL-810 has been engineered to comply with Imaging Science Foundation™ (ISF) standards for maximum home theater image quality. Runco's sophisticated parameters for white balance and color gamut control have also been implemented for precise balance of gray scale and color. The CL-810 incorporates Runco-proprietary de-interlacing technology that provides exceptional scaling and film-to-video (3:2 pulldown) conversion for the most artifact-free images possible.

For uncompromising widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope” (2.35:1) format, the CL-810 can be equipped with Runco’s 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 CL-810 Ultra 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.

The CL-810 is available with or without the SDC-1, a versatile, high-performance digital video switcher. By providing a single, convenient connection point for home theater components that is separate from the projector, the SDC-1 gives designers and installers greater flexibility in terms of projector placement. It also simplifies the task of adding components after the projector has been installed.

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