Introduction VX-3000 Installation/Operation Manual 3 PREL IMINARY 1.3 Description, Features and Benefits The VX-3000 Home Theater Projector offer the astounding picture quality and versatility heretofore associated with more expensive projectors. Its 1920 x 1080, native-resolution DLP light engine features Runco's powerful SuperOnyx™ technology for bright, pristine high-definition (1080p) images. Contrast ratio and dynamic range extend to new heights with Runco's exclusive Reflectance Volume Regulation™ (RVR), an electronically-controlled iris system. This model features a precision optics package with electronic lens shift. The standard VX-3000 projection lens has a throw range of from 1.87 to 2.20 times the screen width. The VX-3000's illumination system provides two light intensity levels to allow maximum flexibility for screen size, ambient light conditions, brightness and contrast balance, and lamp life preservation. It also has a newly refined cooling system, which increases efficiency and reduces noise levels. The VX-3000 has been engineered to comply with Imaging Science Foundation™ (ISF) standards for maximum home theater image quality. Runco's sophisticated parameters for white balance and color gamut control have also been implemented for precise balance of gray scale and color. The VX-3000 incorporates Runco-proprietary de-interlacing technology that provides exceptional scaling and film-to-video (3:2 pulldown) conversion for the most artifact-free images possible. For uncompromising widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope” (2.35:1) format, the VX-3000 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-3000 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.Note Downloaded From projector-manual.com Runco Manuals
