Description, Features 
and Benefits
Runco’s XtremeProjection™ Series X-200i Active 3D Home Theater Projector — the 
flagship member of the XtremeProjection series — is a single-chip DLP projector that, 
uncalibrated, measures 1,430 ANSI lumens and when calibrated to Runco’s CSMS™ 
specifications, achieves a light output of 50 Foot-Lamberts (fL).  Featuring integrated 
processing and multiple lens options, the 3D-capable X-200i comes equipped with three 
pairs of active 3D glasses and relies on frame-sequential 3D technology to ensure that 
users can enjoy 2D and 3D content on the same screen, with full 1080p HD resolution 
delivered to both eyes. 
Designed specifically for the custom installer who specializes in high-end theaters and 
appreciates craftsmanship and video quality, the X-200i brings big screen experiences to 
the home. The X-200i relies on a combination of state-of-the-art, DLP-based 
SuperOnyx™ technology and proprietary electronics, processing and optics to deliver 
stunning images in both 2D and 3D. The X-200i incorporates the ISF™ (Imaging Science 
Foundation) calibration suite for optimal performance, including ISF Day and ISF Night 
presets for the ultimate video performance any time of day.
For unparalleled widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the 
CinemaScope™ 2.35:1 format, the X-200i can also be paired with Runco’s 
award-winning CineWide™ technology. Through an ingenious combination of software, 
electronics and precision anamorphic optics, CineWide maintains constant image 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 image height is 
maintained. 
With Runco CineWide, the projection system is able to use the full pixel array, thereby 
producing a 2.35:1 image with enhanced resolution and increased brightness. No 
resolution or image area is lost to those black bars that contain no picture information. 
Rounding out this impressive projector are discrete input source, aspect ratio and power 
on/off, as well as an RS-232 interface for seamless integration with automation control 
systems.
CineWide requires the use of a 2.35:1 (or similar aspect ratio), 
“superwide” format screen.Note
