Installation

Folded Optics In rear screen applications where space behind the projector is limited, a mirror may be used to fold the optical path, as shown in Figure 3-5.The position of the projector and mirror must be accurately set. If you are considering this type of installation, contact your dealer for assistance.

Audio/Video

Due to its extraordinarily high level of video processing performance, the DHD Controller

Synchronization Issues

may distribute video signals with a perceptible level of audio latency. In order to easily

 

solve this issue, Runco recommends using the DHD Controller with a high-quality audio

 

receiver that has the ability to effectively synchronize audio and video signals.

 

Most mainstream audio receiver/switchers have the ability to synchronize the audio and

 

video to the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) prescribed tolerances.

 

According to the ATSC, the sound program should never lead the video program by more

 

than 15 milliseconds, and should never lag behind the video program by more than 45

 

milliseconds.

 

 

In addition, many A/V receivers introduce additional latency that needs to be

 

compensated for during the installation. Table 3-5shows the amount of possible audio

 

latency given different signal input timings.

This system ensures accurate and rich color reproduction by utilizing a wide color gamut, allowing viewers to experience content as the creators intended. Coupled with advanced color management capabilities, users can further tweak their viewing experience to match their preferences.

The integration of flexible installation options is another highlight of these projectors. They support up to 10-point digital keystone correction, making setup simple and adaptable to various room configurations. This flexibility ensures that no matter the space, users can achieve a perfectly aligned and geometrically accurate image.

Runco has also designed the VX-55D and VX-44D with user-friendly interfaces, including intuitive remote controls and on-screen menus. Both projectors come equipped with multiple HDMI inputs, allowing users to connect various devices seamlessly. Additionally, they support 3D content playback, a feature that has become increasingly important for enhancing the cinematic experience.

Energy efficiency is a consideration in the design of these projectors as well, making them not only high-performance devices but also more sustainable than many of their counterparts. With a sleek aesthetic, the Runco VX-55D and VX-44D can seamlessly blend into any home theater setup, adding a touch of elegance while providing an extraordinary viewing experience.

In summary, the Runco VX-55D and VX-44D projectors are characterized by their high-definition resolution, advanced DLP technology, rich color processing, and flexible installation options, making them ideal choices for any home theater enthusiast looking to elevate their viewing experience.
