he VX-1000d, VX-4000d and VX-5000d represent Runco’s ultimate expression of performance within the 
Reflection™ Portfolio of single-chip D lP™ projectors.
t hese models share Runco’s most advanced 1280 x 720 single-chip light engine design.  this includes a 
sophisticated color balancing system resulting in the industry’s best gray scale tracking. Additionally, they 
incorporate RVR™, or Reflectance Volume Regulation, which provides for variable adjustment of the light path through the 
optics, enabling the perfect blend of black and white levels for each individual installation.  
to ensure a perfect image can reach the screen even in installations where the projector cannot be placed exactly centered on the vertical plane, 
 
the VX-1000d offers vertical lens shift capability as well as versatile zoom optics to provide fore and aft placement options.  the VX-4000d 
 
and VX-5000d feature Runco’s AxiShift™ technology to enable horizontal as well as vertical offset correction for even greater 
placement versatility.
the VX-4000d includes  cino ptx™ 
Proteus  high definition lenses available in six different throw distance ranges.  these 
premium lenses offer superior performance and light path efficiency.  the VX-5000d goes one step further, offering world 
class  cino ptx 
Telesto  lenses usually associated with the most expensive professional screening applications.  telesto optics are 
available in five distinct throw distance ranges to accommodate a wide variety of installation requirements.
State-of-the-art video processing and system control for these three models is handled by Runco’s award winning DHD  controller, the same 
controller/processor supplied with our most elite systems.
And of course, Runco’s exclusive, award winning  cineWide™ and  cineWide with AutoScope™ technology option can transform these superb 
 
home theater systems into a true home cinema  experience, reproducing 2:35  cinemaScope™ movies with breathtaking accuracy and full vertical 
height for the first time.

O-Path™ Technology and CinOptx™ Premium Grade Lens Systems are featured on the VX-4000d and VX-5000d in combination with CineWide™ and CineWide with AutoScope™ options. 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’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, the projector is able to use the full pixel array on its SuperOnyx™ DMD™ chip, thereby producing a 2.35 image with enhanced resolution and increased brightness. No resolution or image area is lost to annoying black bars. With AutoScope the anamorphic lens is motorized and remote controlled.
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.
The LiveLink™ DVI cabling system is Runco’s exclusive solution for reliable, pure digital video signal transfer. This is the first DVI cabling system capable of truly supporting longer runs while preserving all  essential high-resolution video signal quality. LiveLink is nothing short of a revolution for home theater design.
The Reflection 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.

unco’s award winning development of 
c ineWide™ and  cineWide with 
AutoScope™ technology has created 
a revolution in faithful movie 
reproduction, for the first time transforming  
home theater into home cinema.
t his 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.
t his 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 Supero nyx™ 
DMD™ chip, 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.
CineWide and AutoScope technology is the talk of the industry.  These are among the awards and acknowledgements we have already received\

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.2.35:1 Picture on a 16:9 imaging chip16:9 Image Area

DHD Controller SpeCifiCationS
D H D  c o n t Ro l l e R
he Reflection portfolio’s VX-1000d, VX-4000d and VX-5000d  
projection systems include the DHD controller/processor.  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 720p native display resolution of the projectors.
the 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  livel ink™ 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 the-aters 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 specifications using the Photo Research PR-650 SpectraColorimeter and Minolta LS-100 Luminance Meter, Video Essentials test DVD, and a Stewart Filmscreen StudioTech 130, 1.3 gain 72-inch wide screen. The projector is calibrated to a color temperature of 6500º Kelvin and has a minimum of 150 hours of usage.
Engineered for ISF® calibration.
