Description, Features
and Benefits
The RS-900 and RS1100 family of Home Theater Projectors offer the astounding picture
quality and versatility heretofore associated with more expensive projectors. Their
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. The
RS1100 takes this technology a step further with DynamicBlack™, which analyzes the
program material and adjusts the iris automatically, in real time to maximize contrast and
dynamic range at all times.
All models feature a precision optics package with electronic lens shift. The standard
RS-900/RS1100 projection lens has a throw range of from 1.87 to 2.20 times the screen
width. The RS1100
Ultra provides even greater installation flexibility, with five lens options
from which to choose offering throw distances ranging from 1.06 to 4.80 times the screen
width. Electronic focus and zoom controls further simplify installation and setup of an
RS1100
Ultra.
The RS-900/RS1100'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 RS-900/RS1100 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 RS-900/RS1100 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 RS-900/RS1100 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
RS-900/RS1100 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.
