REFLECTION™ RS1100 PORTFOLIO
he RS-1100 and RS-1100 Ultra are among a growing family of new, next generation
products from Runco featuring 1080p resolution – the highest available in the consumer
market. These new models boast 1920 x 1080 native resolution DLP™ light engines featuring
Runco’s powerful SuperOnyx™ technology for bright, pristine, high definition images.
The Ultra version features high-end upgrades such as O-Path™ light path enhancement technology,
CinOptx™ premium grade lens options, and AxiShift™ multidirectional lens shift capability. Cinewide™ is
available for both and the CineWide™ with AutoScope™ option is available for the RS-1100 Ultra.
Both model’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.
Runco’s advanced Vivix™ digital video processing is included to enhance picture quality from standard video sources, as well as provide artifact-free
scaling. Also included are discrete input source, aspect ratio, power on/off, HDMI™ input and an RS-232 interface for seamless integration with
automation control systems.
Like all Runco products, the RS-1100 Series projectors have been engineered to industry-leading Imaging Science Foundation™ (ISF) standards
for the most accurate gray scale tracking and color fidelity. This ensures video performance and picture quality of the highest levels obtainable.

O-Path™ Technology and CinOptx™
Premium Grade Lens Systems are
featured on various Video Extreme
Portfolio projectors. O-Path
efficiently collimates the light energy
from the lamp though the optical
path to maximize light output and
eliminate stray light that can reduce
brightness and compromise contrast
ratio performance. The broad variety
of lenses in the CinOptx family are
designed to bring images faithfully to
the screen without the geometric
and color spectrum aberrations
common among “production” lenses.
Runco International has carefully
developed a full set of specification
standards for our video projectors
that is founded upon more realistic
and easier to understand criteria
for expressing the light output or
brightness capability of a display
device, as well as its contrast ratio.
The Cinema Standards Measurement
System™ was developed based
on the actual experience one has in
a movie theater, providing the
consumer with an objective
reference point to compare
specifications.
Runco’s exclusive CineWide™ and
CineWide with AutoScope™
technology ensures uncompromised
widescreen reproduction of movies
originally filmed in the CinemaScope
2.35:1 format. Through a combination
of software, electronics and
anamorphic optics, each projector is
able to use the full pixel array on its
DMD chips, thereby producing a 2.35
image with enhanced resolution and
increased brightness. No resolution
is lost to annoying black bars.
The LiveLink™ DVI cabling system
is Runco’s exclusive solution for
reliable, pure digital video signal
transfer. This is the first DVI cabling
system capable of truly supporting
longer runs while preserving all
essential high-resolution video signal
quality. LiveLink is nothing short of a
revolution for home theater design.
The new Video Xtreme Portfolio
products incorporate the Imaging
Science Foundation’s “ISF 3c™”
(Certified Calibration Configuration)
setup and calibration standards in
projector GUI menus to facilitate
picture quality conforming to the
highest standards in the industry.

CI NEW IDE ™ AN D C INE WID E WI TH AU TOS COP E™
NO MORE BLACK BARS ABOVE AND BELOW THE PICTURE!
unco’s award winning development
of CineWide™ and CineWide with
AutoScope™ technology has created
a revolution in faithful movie
reproduction, for the first time transforming home
theater into home cinema.
This technology provides uncompromised widescreen
reproduction of movies originally filmed in the CinemaScope™ 2.35:1 format. It 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 superwide 2.35:1, the image simply gets wider while
full screen height is maintained, eliminating black bars.
Conventional Method

on a 1.78:1 (16:9) screen.
IMAGE AREA
Black bars = lost resolution
How it works:
The video processor anamorphically “stretches” the 2.35:1 image vertically
to completely fill the display’s imaging chips. This allows all pixels to be used.

The anamorphic lens then “stretches” the image width to 2.35:1. Correct geometry is restored,
while 100% of the pixels are now used to maintain full resolution and eliminate black bars.
CineWide™ Technology
Constant vertical height and full resolution
are maintained. 100% of pixels are used.
Black Bars are eliminated.

APPEARANCE
This is done through an ingenious combination of software, electronics and precision
anamorphic optics. With the AutoScope option, the anamorphic lens is motorized and
remote controlled.
With CineWide the projection system is able to use the full pixel array on its SuperOnyx™
DMD™ chips, thereby producing a 2.35:1 image with enhanced resolution and increased
brightness. No resolution or image area is lost to useless black bars on the top and bottom
of the screen that contain no picture information.
These are among the awards and acknowledgements we have already received.

*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 13,000º Kelvin 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 6500º Kelvin, 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 (without 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 Stewart
Filmscreen StudioTech 130, 1.3 gain 72-inch wide screen. The projector is calibrated to a color temperature of
6500º Kelvin and has a minimum of 150 hours of usage.
Engineered for ISF® calibration.
Specifications are subject to change without notice. Optional ceiling bracket available.
