O-Path™ Technology and CinOptx™ Premium Grade Lens Systems are featured on the VX-2000d and VX-6000d 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.
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.
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 
CineWide™ 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.

How it works:

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

he  reflection portfolio’s Vx-2000d, and Vx-6000d 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 Nt SC material to near high definition levels. 
Superb scaling capabilities output all signals at the 1080p 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.
