Description, Features

and Benefits

Runco steps into the future once again with the Video Xtreme™ VX-2i Digital Light

Processing (DLP™) Projector, one of the first DLP projectors to offer a 16:9 native

resolution, 3-chip system for home theater.

The VX-2i optical light engine utilizes three advanced, 16:9 Digital Micromirror Device™

(DMD™) chips featuring 1280 x 720, high-definition resolution and 12-degree mirror tilt for

unsurpassed black level performance. Unlike previous, single-chip DLP implementations,

no color wheel is used. This reduces mechanical complexity and compromises to color

spectrum purity. The impressive brightness inherent in 3-chip systems is further bolstered

by the improved contrast capabilities of the VX-2i light engine design, offering the best of

both worlds.

The VX-2i is equipped with an embedded, all-digital signal processor/controller featuring

advanced Vivix II™ video processing, superb scaling and aspect ratio control. Runco’s

exclusive LiveLink™ DVI cable system circuitry is integrated into the projector to preserve

HD signal quality over long runs. The VX-2i is enhanced further by significant horizontal

and vertical lens shift capability for maximum installation flexibility.

The VX-2i produces an impressive 2500 ANSI lumens of light output (CSMS™ light output

of 52.1 ft-Lamberts). The VX-2i’s 16:9 native aspect ratio DMD array makes it ideal for

widescreen viewing, while its 3-chip, 1280 x 720 native resolution produces crisp, crystal

clear high-definition images with richly saturated colors, deep black levels and natural,

highly refined detail.

This advanced design provides pure digital connections from input to light engine for

absolutely stellar pictures. In addition, Runco’s multiple aspect ratio control includes its

unique VirtualWide™ mode for viewing standard video formats in widescreen without loss

of image quality.

For uncompromising widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the

CinemaScope™ 2.35:1 format, the VX-2i can be equipped with Runco’s CineWide™ with

AutoScope™ system, which 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.

Discrete IR and RS-232 control make custom installation seamless, while discrete source

and aspect ratio selection accommodate any automation control system.
