PRELIMINARY
1.3 Description, Features and Benefits
The PlasmaWall XP Series Flat-Panel Plasma Display Monitor and DHD Controller
establish a higher threshold for flat panel display products. The PlasmaWall XP Series is
available in three sizes, including our largest and highest-resolution plasma ever, at 103
inches diagonal and 1920 x 1080 (1080p) native resolution.
The PlasmaWall takes picture quality to a whole new level, boasting our brightest picture,
best contrast ratio, deepest black levels and most spot-on high definition colorimetry ever!
In addition, sophisticated 16-bit digital video processing, a new milestone, results in 4096
steps of graduation for seamless images completely devoid of the primitive "solarization"
and "stair stepping" characteristics previously plaguing digital flat panel displays.
The PlasmaWall features all of the Runco technologies you have come to expect from the
World's Finest Home Theater Products. Discrete, multiple aspect ratio control includes
VirtualWide™ for viewing 4:3 content in widescreen without appreciable picture
degradation, as well as ISF(ccc) calibration modes to easily maintain ISF standards. The
automation interface includes RS-232 control with discrete aspect ratio, input and power
on/off selection.
The included DHD with HDMI Digital Video Controller/Processor provides a pure digital
signal path from input to output as well as a broad array of video input choices, all
available from its position in the equipment rack, with only digital video and command
cables running to the display itself.
The PlasmaWall not only represents a leap forward in high definition flat-panel technolo gy,
but our engineering advances in plasma design ensure that it will enjoy a long life in any
installation, with operation extending to as much as 60,000 hours. At less than 5-3/4
inches thin, the PlasmaWall provides unlimited installation flexibility as well.
For high-altitude installations, Runco also offers the XP-50DHDxa and XP-65DHDxa with
industry-leading, high-altitude compliance to 9,100 feet mean sea level (MSL). The xa
versions share all other features and specifications with the XP-50DHD, XP-65DHD and
XP-103DHD.
