Description, Features
and Benefits 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.
Discrete IR and RS-232 control make custom installation seamless, while discrete source
and aspect ratio selection accommodate any automation control system.
CineWide requires the use of a 2.35:1 or similar aspect ratio superwide
format screen.
