Description, Features
and Benefits The Reflection™ VX-1000d 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.
Runco has implemented a host of improvements into the VX-1000d light engine to take
full advantage of its 16:9 SuperOnyx™ Digital Micromirror Device™ (DMD™) chip. These
include a sophisticated color balancing system resulting in the industry’s best gray scale
tracking. Additionally, the VX-1000d incorporates Reflectance Volume Regulation™
(RVR™), which provides for infinitely variable adjustment of the light path through the
optics, enabling the perfect blend of black and white levels for each individual installation.
The VX-1000d is supplied with Runco’s next-generation, Digital High Definition (DHD™)
Controller featuring advanced Vivix II™ processing, superb scaling and aspect ratio
control. The DHD Controller produces stunning video imagery, elevating even standard
NTSC material to near high definition levels.
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 VX-1000d produces an impressive 1500 ANSI lumens of light output (CSMS™ light
output of 15.6 to 22.4 ft-Lamberts). This advanced design provides pure digital
connections from input to light engine for absolutely stellar pictures. 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.
For uncompromising widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope”
(2.35:1) format, the VX-1000d 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.
Discrete IR and RS-232 control make custom installation seamless, while discrete source
and aspect ratio selection accommodate any automation control system.
