Description, Features and Benefits | Runco SP-60DHD, SP-42DHD

Introduction

The PlasmaWall SP Series flat-panel plasma monitor brings outstanding picture quality to its size category with true, high-definition native resolution of up to 1365 x 768

(1024 x 768 on the Model SP-42DHD) for no-compromise viewing of any video source.

The PlasmaWall is supplied with Runco’s next-generation, Digital High Definition (DHD) Controller, featuring advanced Vivix II™ processing. This controller produces stunning video imagery, elevating even standard NTSC material to near high-definition levels.

Multiple aspect ratio control includes Runco’s VirtualWide™ for viewing 4:3 material in widescreen with no loss of picture quality. The DHD provides for a pure digital signal path from input to output, making this system ready for Runco’s exclusive LiveLink™ DVI cable solution to preserve HD signal quality over long runs.

The PlasmaWall’s black level performance and shadow detail capability have been enhanced with Active Gray Scale Rendering to provide smoother transitions from dark to light, resulting in richly detailed textures even in shadowy scenes.

The PlasmaWall is easily integrated into custom installation systems. Both RS-232C and IR control interfaces are incorporated for simple automation. Its profile is less than 5-1/2 inches thin for wall-mounting simplicity.
