PL-50DHD
The PlasmaWall Series includes Runco’s
acclaimed VivixII™ digital video processing.
This superior technology includes 3D scan
conversion with motion compensation and 3:2
pulldown for excellent video performance with
both video-based and film-based material.
All PlasmaWall Series models offer Runco’s
WideVision™ 16:9 native widescreen
aspect ratio, provided by state-of-the-art
Plasma display panels. Runco’s discrete
aspect ratio control includes the VirtualWide™
mode to fill the 16:9 screen with standard
4:3 images without loss of picture quality,
eliminating annoying black stripes and
displaying any source material in full,
widescreen glory.
The PlasmaWall Series products incorporate
the Imaging Science Foundation’s “ISF 3c” ™
(Certified Calibration Configuration) setup and
calibration standards in the display’s GUI menus
to facilitate picture quality conforming to the
highest standards in the industry.

PLASMAWALL™ PORTFOLIO HIGH DEFINITION PLASMA DISPLAYS
unco’s PlasmaWall™ portfolio of high definition, flat panel plasma display monitors, consists of four models offering the finest plasma picture quality available. All four models
include Runco’s award-winning, all digital DHD controller/processor.
The PL-43DHD and PL-50DHD are high definition displays in 43-inch and 50-inch screen sizes, respectively. The Imaging Science Foundation’s ISF 3c™ setup and
calibration standards are incorporated into these and every PlasmaWall to help your custom
installation specialist achieve the industry’s highest standards in picture quality. Runco’s discrete multiple aspect ratio
control includes VirtualWide™ to fill the 16:9 widescreen with standard 4:3 images at the touch of a button. At less
than 4½ inches thin, wall mounting is an attractive option.
The 50-inch PL-50XA’s high definition performance is bolstered by high altitude capability to 9000 feet, offering
Runco picture quality in mountain locations usually off limits to plasma displays. Like all PlasmaWall monitors,
its DHD controller/processor provides two digital video inputs with HDCP compatibility, multiple aspect ratio
control with VirtualWide™ and an RS-232 interface for home automation system control versatility.
At the top of the PlasmaWall product series is the PL-61DHD. This 61-inch model will be right at home in
viewing environments where the largest flat panel screen sizes are required. With plenty of brightness for any
lighting situation the PL-61DHD is often chosen as the centerpiece for many types home theater systems and
viewing environments. The PL-61DHD is the largest high altitude capable plasma available today.
All four models in the PlasmaWall portfolio are available with an optional table top stand or wall mount for
maximum placement versatility.
RUNCO DHD VIDEO CONTROLLER
The PlasmaWall portfolio’s included DHD controller/processor is
engineered with advanced, Vivix II™ digital video processing to produce
stunning video imagery, even elevating standard NTSC material to near
high definition levels.
The DHD provides for a pure digital signal path from input to output
and resides outboard of the plasma display chassis. This simplifies instal-
lation by placing the DHD and its associated input connections in the
equipment rack. Only one digital signal cable is then required to the
plasma monitor. PlasmaWall systems can also take full advantage of
Runco’s exclusive LiveLink™ digital cable solution to preserve HD signal
quality and bandwidth over much longer runs than conventional digital
signal cables.
