Introduction

The Runco Video Extreme™ VX-6000d follows in the footsteps of its renowned predecessor, the VX-5000d by offering extraordinary performance, state of the art optics, impressive custom installation flexibility and today’s most advanced DLP technology with 1920 x 1080 SuperOnyx™ resolution.

Its performance is so extraordinary, in fact, that the VX-6000d has earned its place in our exclusive, Video Xtreme™ family of products — our top of the line and the world’s first video products to earn prestigious THX® certification.

The VX-6000d incorporates Runco’s exclusive Enhanced GEN 3™ engineering advancements to make more efficient use of optical light engine design. This results in greater light output and dramatically increases contrast ratio.

Among the advances Runco has developed are a sophisticated color balancing system and Reflectance Volume Regulation™ (RVR™), which provides the perfect balance of black and white levels. These engineering achievements are combined with lens choices featuring world-class optics and lens shift versatility. The resulting images are superb. In fact, the VX-6000d can easily surpass the black levels of film projectors!

The VX-6000d is supplied with Runco’s next-generation, Digital High Definition (DHD™) Controller/Scaler/Processor, featuring advanced Vivix III™ video processing and superb scaling. In addition, Runco’s multiple aspect ratio control includes its unique VirtualWide™ mode for viewing standard video formats in widescreen without loss of image quality. The DHD provides for a pure digital signal path from input to light engine.

The VX-6000d produces an impressive 1750 ANSI lumens of light output (CSMS light output of 17.3 to 29.8 ft-Lamberts).

For uncompromising widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope” (2.35:1) format, the VX-6000d 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-6000d 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.
