he Video Xtreme VX-4c family of
projectors represents the ultimate in
video versatility and high performance
for the most demanding home theater
environments.
Runco offers four distinct versions of the
VX-4c to meet the needs of any installa-
tion requirement:
• The VX-4c 720P system offers high
definition resolution in a 16:9 format,
while providing multiple aspect ratio
selection in addition.
• The VX-4c 960P system provides even
greater resolution at all aspect ratios.
• The VX-4c 1024P system yields the
ultimate resolution by employing every
available pixel for maximum picture
clarity and brightness.
• Finally, the VX-4c 1024P 2.35 aspect
ratio system also makes the maximum
resolution fully available, and does so
even in the very widest CinemaScope
2.35:1 aspect ratio — the only con-
sumer video projection system available
with such awesome capability!
These state-of-the-art projectors utilize
Texas Instruments' most advanced Dark
Metal Process DMD™ chipsets with an
impressive 1280 x 1024 native resolu-
tion in a 3-chip array. When combined
with the powerful 700 watt Xenon lamp
the results are exceptionally bright and
crisp high-resolution images on a variety
of screen sizes. Runco has engineered
a lamp intensity control system as well,
so the lamp can operate at lower output
levels when used with smaller screens
to preserve maximum black level perfor-
mance.
In addition to the unprecedented versatil-
ity offered by the VX-4c projector family,
all four include Runco's award winning
VHD Ultra Video Controller for outstand-
ing video processing, scaling and aspect
ratio control.
The Runco VX-4c projector family features
not only most technologically advanced
design ever offered, but includes horizon-
tal and vertical lens shift for maximum
installation flexibility even in the most
difficult situations.

*ANSI Lumen specification:
This is the typical projector luminosity (brightness) specification found in most sales literature. This measurement is included in
RUNCO literature to allow for direct comparison with other manufacturer's projectors. These measurements can be taken at 9,000
to 13,000ºKelvin to get expected performance data when the projector is used in professional, commercial, and industrial displays.
CSMS Home Theater Calibration ANSI Lumen Specification:
These measurements are taken from the projector as set up in a home theater environment. The projector is calibrated to ISF
specifications including setting the color temperature to 6500ºKelvin, the standard for reproducing video.
CSMS Home Theater Calibration foot-Lambert (fL) Specification:
This is the unit of measurement used in commercial movie theaters to express image brightness. The Society of Motion Picture
and Television Engineers (SMPTE) specifies 16 fL as the target image brightness for film-based projectors using an open gate (with-
out film in the projector). More importantly, today SMPTE specifies 12 fL as the target image brightness in Digital Cinema theaters
using DLP™ technology. The foot-Lambert is dependant on screen size, screen gain, and projector light output.
All measurements are made at RUNCO to ANSI/NAPM IT7.228-1997 specifications using the Photo Research PR-650
SpectraColorimeter and Minolta LS-100 Luminance Meter, Video Essentials test DVD, and a Da-Lite 1.5 gain, 100-inch wide screen.
The projector is calibrated to a color temperature of 6500º Kelvin and has a minimum of 150 hours of usage.
