Description, Features
and Benefits
The RS-1100 Series DLP 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 RS-1100 is equipped with a precision optics package offering a power zoom control
and a throw range of 1.55 to 1.98 times the screen width. The RS-1100 Ultra provides
even greater installation flexibility, with five lens options from which to choose offering
throw distances ranging from 1.03 to 4.75 times the screen width.
The RS-1100's illumination system incorporates Runco's exclusive Selectable Lamp
Intensity Control™ (SLIC™), which 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-1100 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-1100 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-1100 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-1100 Ultra is
CineWide with AutoScope™, an enhanced, remote-controlled motorized version of
CineWide.
The RS-1100 is available with or without the SDC-1, a versatile, high-performance digital
video switcher. By providing a single, convenient connection point for home theater
components that is separate from the projector, the SDC-1 gives designers and installers
greater flexibility in terms of projector placement. It also simplifies the task of adding
components after the projector has been installed.
Discrete IR and RS-232 control make custom installation seamless, while discrete source
and aspect ratio selection accommodate any automation control system.
