For example, a 1000-Watt lamp can be driven at no more than 1000 Watts. To produce desired brightness at the screen, a new lamp would likely need less than this maximum rating — perhaps 812 Watts (example only). Over time, however, the lamp requires more and more current in order to generate the desired light, until eventually the lamp wattage reaches its 1000-Watt maximum and the lamp power automatically levels off. At this point, the tracking function terminates (that is, the power level stabilizes) and the lamp begins to dim normally. Either reduce your “Intensity” setting or replace the lamp.

Do not lower the “Intensity” so much that the corresponding “Power” value reaches its minimum — the intensity setting will be inaccurate and cannot be maintained.

Note

1. Lamps become more stable over time, thus a specific intensity is

more easily maintained as the lamp ages.

2.Intensity can be set only if the lamp is in “Intensity” mode

3.Intensity cannot exceed the output of Max Brightness mode.

RVR (Reflectance Volume Regulation): The optical aperture inside the projector controls the diameter of the light beam passing through the system. With a fully open aperture (slidebar default of “0”), the maximum amount of light passes through for maximum brightness in your images. Increase the slidebar setting to reduce the aperture diameter and maximize contrast ratio instead.

Lamp History (read-only):Lamp History shows the lamps most recently installed and recorded in the projector. The Lamp History automatically updates whenever you record a new lamp serial number; the new lamp is added to the end of the list.

Change Lamp: Select Change Lamp from the Lamp menu to record the serial number for a newly-installed lamp. For detailed lamp replacement instructions, refer to Lamp and Filter Replacement on page 79.

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.
