Description, Features
and Benefits
Runco’s VX-44d and VX-55d bring the most advanced technology, 1080p SuperOnyx™
resolution and the world’s first THX
®
Certified home video products together in truly
awesome fashion.
They use a new, ingeniously engineered 3-chip DLP™ light engine, combined with an
advanced Xenon lamp illumination system to bring astoundingly high performance and
ultra high resolution to the very best home theaters on the planet.
The VX-44d features a 1000W Xenon lamp, while the VX-55d uses a 1.2-kW Xenon lamp
to produce Runco’s brightest 1080p pictures ever. Four CinOptx™ zoom lenses are
available with broad AxiShift™ motorized horizontal and vertical lens shift capability.
Runco engineers have ensured that light is efficiently culminated through the
implementation of O-Path™ technology and have also engineered ISF™ calibration
standards into these projectors.
The VX-44d and VX-55d are furnished with Runco’s newest, next-generation, all-digital
DHD Controller, featuring advanced Vivix II™ processing, superb scaling, and the
industry’s most advanced aspect ratio control system.
For uncompromising widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope”
(2.35:1) format, the VX-44d/-55d 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-44d/-55d 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.
