							VIDEO XTREME ™ PORTFOLIO
unco® further solidifies its leadership role with the introduction of the THX® certified VX-22i, VX-22d, VX-44d and VX-55d 
projectors. These overachievers combine state-of-the-art 1920 x 1080 SuperOnyx™ DLP™ resolution with advanced 3-chip 
engineering. The results are simply stunning, with jaw-dropping images that must be seen to be believed. 
Runco has taken 1080p performance to a new level with these powerful projectors and harnessed the brightness and contrast capabilities inherent in 3-chip light engine design for a impressive images. They are supplied with Runco’s separate, next-
generation all-digital DHD™ Controller (built into the projector chassis on the VX-22i), featuring advanced Vivix II® video processing, superb 
scaling and aspect ratio control, to take full advantage of Runco’s engineering advances.
These marvels of technology are enhanced further by motorized AxiShift™ horizontal and vertical lens shift capability for maximum installation 
f lexibility. Additional features include Runco’s newest cinema-quality CinOptx™ lenses and O-Path™ light path enhancement technology for 
stunningly sharp video.
The VX-22i and VX-22d are offered with a selection of four Triton™ zoom lenses covering a broad range of throw distances, and two fixed short 
throw lenses for rear projection applications. The VX-44d and VX-55d are available with four different, world class Telesto™ zoom lens options 
as well as a fixed, short throw lens for rear projection.
The VX-44d and VX-55d utilize an advanced Xenon lamp illumination system to bring astoundingly high performance and ultra-high 
resolution to the very best home theaters on the planet. The VX-44d features an impressive 1000W Xenon lamp, while the VX-55d uses a 
tremendously powerful 1.2 kW Xenon lamp to produce Runco’s brightest 1080p pictures ever. 
Runco’s exclusive, award-winning CineWide™ and CineWide with AutoScope™ technology options are available with all models for cinema 
quality 2.35:1 presentations, eliminating those annoying black bars and ensuring every pixel of resolution is preserved.

							O-Path™ Technology and CinOptx™ 
Premium Grade Lens Systems are 
featured on the Video Extreme 
Portfolio projectors. O-Path 
efficiently collimates the light energy 
from the lamp though the optical 
path to maximize light output and 
eliminate stray light that can reduce 
brightness and compromise contrast 
ratio performance. The broad variety 
of lenses in the CinOptx family are 
designed to bring images faithfully to 
the screen without the geometric 
and color spectrum aberrations 
common among “production” lenses.Runco International has carefully 
developed a full set of specification 
standards for our video projectors 
that is founded upon more realistic 
and easier to understand criteria for 
expressing the light output or 
brightness capability of a display 
device, as well as its contrast ratio. 
The Cinema Standards Measurement 
System™ was developed based on 
the actual experience one has in a 
movie theater, providing the 
consumer with an objective 
reference point to compare 
specifications.Runco’s exclusive CineWide™ and 
CineWide with AutoScope™ 
technology ensures uncompromised 
widescreen reproduction of movies 
originally filmed in the CinemaScope 
2.35:1 format. Through a combination 
of software, electronics and 
anamorphic optics, each projector is 
able to use the full pixel array on its 
DMD chips, thereby producing a 2.35 
image with enhanced resolution and 
increased brightness. No resolution 
is lost to annoying black bars. 
The new Video Xtreme Portfolio 
products incorporate the Imaging 
Science Foundation’s “ISF 3c™” 
(Certified Calibration Configuration) 
setup and calibration standards in 
projector GUI menus to facilitate 
picture quality conforming to the 
highest standards in the industry.
THX® has long been recognized as 
the leader in both the finest movie 
theater presentations and superb 
home theater performance. The THX 
Video Display Program has 
established the industry’s highest 
standards of video performance for 
home video display products. Runco 
is proud to be the first home video 
display manufacturer to meet these 
demanding standards and offer THX 
Certified products to our customers. 
The THX moniker attests to the 
exacting performance of these 
products and your ability to bring 
Hollywood home without 
compromise.

CInEWIDE ™ An D CI nEWIDE  WITH  AuTOSCOPE ™
NO mORE BLaCK BaRS aBOVE aND BELOW THE PICTURE!
unco’s award winning development of 
CineWide™ and CineWide with 
AutoScope™ technology has  created a revolution in faithful  movie reproduction, for the 
first time transforming home theater into home cinema.
This technology provides uncompromised widescreen 
reproduction of movies originally filmed in the CinemaScope™ 2:35:1 
format. It 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 superwide 2.35:1, the image simply 
gets wider while full screen height is maintained, eliminating black bars.
This is done through an ingenious combination of software, electronics and precision 
anamorphic optics. With the AutoScope option, the anamorphic lens is motorized and 
remote controlled. 
With CineWide the projection system is able to use the full pixel array on its SuperOnyx™ 
DMD™ chips, thereby producing a 2.35:1 image with enhanced resolution and increased 
brightness.  no resolution or image area is lost to useless black bars on the top and bottom of 
the screen that contain no picture information.

How it works:
The video processor anamorphically “stretches” the 2.35:1 image ve\
rtically  
to completely fill the display’s imaging chips. This allows all pixels to be used.

							DHD Controller SpeCifiCationS
DHD™ COnTROLLER
he Video Xtreme Portfolio projection systems include the outboard DHD™ 
controller/processor (integrated into the projector chassis on the VX-22i). 
The DHD is engineered with advanced, Vivix II® digital video processing to  produce stunning video imagery, even elevating standard  nTSC material to near 
high definition levels. Superb scaling capabilities output all signals at the native display 
resolution of the projectors.
Runco’s DHD provides for a pure digital signal path from input to output and resides outboard of the projector chassis. This simplifies installation 
by placing the DHD and its associated input connections in the equipment rack. Only one digital signal cable is then required to the projector. 
These projection systems can also take full advantage of Runco’s exclusive LiveLink® digital cable solution to preserve HD signal quality and 
bandwidth over much longer runs than conventional digital signal cables.

† ANSI Lumen specification:  
This is the typical projector luminosity (brightness) specification found in most 
sales literature. This measurement is included in RUNCO literature to allow for 
direct comparison with other manufacturer’s projectors. These measurements 
can be taken at 9,000 to 13,000º Kelvin to get expected performance data when the 
projector is used in professional, commercial, and industrial displays.
**CSMS Home Theater Calibration ANSI Lumen Specification:  
These measurements are taken from the projector as set up in a home theater 
environment. The projector is calibrated to ISF specifications including setting the 
color temperature to 6500º Kelvin, the standard for reproducing video.
**CSMS Home Theater Calibration foot-Lambert (fL) Specification:  
This is the unit of measurement used in commercial movie theaters to express 
image brightness. The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers 
(SMPTE) specifies 16 fL as the target image brightness for film-based projectors 
using an open gate (without film in the projector). More importantly, today SMPTE 
specifies 12 fL as the target image brightness in Digital Cinema theaters using 
DLP™ technology. The foot-Lambert is dependant on screen size, screen gain, 
and projector light output.
All measurements are made at RUNCO to ANSI/NAPM IT7.228-1997 specifica-
tions using the Photo Research PR-650 SpectraColorimeter and Minolta LS-100 
Luminance Meter, Video Essentials test DVD, and a Da-Lite 1.5 gain, 100-inch wide 
screen. The projector is calibrated to a color temperature of 6500º Kelvin and has 
a minimum of 150 hours of usage.
