Description, Features
and Benefits
Elegant and electrifying, the LightStyle™ Series LS-1 Home Theater Projector is designed
for both performance and esthetics. Where sleek design encompasses incredible
performance, this stylish combination of legendary Runco engineering and impactful
design yield a powerhouse that elevates the bar for affordable home theater projection.
Designed inside and out by Runco’s award-winning engineering and design team, the
LS-1 incorporates Runco’s proprietary engineering, advanced features and performance
enhancements to achieve an elevated home theater experience. Combining a 1080p
native resolution DLP™ light engine featuring Runco’s powerful SuperOnyx™ technology
with ConstantContrast™ for bright, pristine, high-definition images with deep black levels
and significant contrast, the LS-1 projects pristine images from any source.
The LS-1 is equipped with a precision optics package offering zoom, focus and lens shift
controls and a throw range of 1.85:1 to 2.40:1. For installations requiring shorter throw
distances, the LS-1 is optionally available with a lens that offers a throw range of 1.63:1 to
1.86:1.
To ensure a perfect fit in any room at any time, the LS-1 incorporates the ISF™ (Imaging
Science Foundation) calibration suite for optimal performance in various rooms and
lighting conditions. These calibration tools feature day and night calibration memory
settings, individual sharpness and noise reduction controls, programmable image memory
selection keys, built-in test patterns and a dark room-optimized remote.
Runco’s advanced ViVix™ digital video processing enhances the LS-1 picture quality and
provide artifact-free scaling. 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.
For uncompromised widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the
CinemaScope™ 2:35:1 format, the LS-1 can also be paired with one of Runco’s
award-winning anamorphic lens solutions. Through an ingenious combination of software,
electronics and precision anamorphic optics, the Runco anamorphic lens system
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. 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.
An anamorphic lens requires the use of a 2.35:1 (or similar aspect ratio),
“superwide” format screen.
