REFLECTION® PORTFOLIO

ith the Reflection® Portfolio, Runco® brings its famous video performance to a new level

of sophistication, while putting Runco quality within reach of many aspiring home theater

aficionados. These five Reflection Portfolio models combine a highly-efficient SuperOnyx™

DLP™ light engine with broad installation and integration options, establishing the perfect

balance between performance, versatility and a variety of budgets.

The RS-440 and RS-440LT (long throw lens), offer a native resolution of 1280 x 720, HDMI connectivity and

both horizontal and vertical lens shift for installation flexibility. The RS-900, RS-1100 and RS-1100 Ultra are full

1080p models with a native resolution of 1920 x 1080 and HDMI inputs.

Runco has implemented a host of advancements into all of these projectors’ light engines to take full advantage

of their 16:9 widescreen, DMD™ chips. They feature Runco’s Enhanced GEN 3™ technology to produce deeper

blacks, greater contrast ratio and brightness, and richly saturated colors. A sophisticated color-balancing system

is engineered into every Reflection Portfolio product, resulting in the industry’s best gray scale tracking, and they

RS-440

RS-440LT

all have been engineered to comply with the Imaging Science Foundation™ (ISF) standards for proper setup and

calibration ensuring maximum home theater image quality.

Of course, Runco’s acclaimed Vivix® video processing and scaling assure pristine video imagery with every model

and the generous light output capabilities of these projectors are powerful enough to handle larger screen sizes with

ease. All models feature discrete power, aspect ratio and input selection, as well as IR and RS-232 controls, making

it simple to partner these projectors with other audio/video components and automated control systems for a truly

high-end home theater system.

RS-1100 Ultra

O-Path™ Technology and CinOptx™
Premium Grade Lens Systems are
featured on the RS-1100 Ultra. 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, the projector is
able to use the full pixel array on its
DMD chip, thereby producing a 2.35
image with enhanced resolution and
increased brightness. The full
vertical height of the screen is filled
with the image and useless black
bars are eliminated. (Not available
on the RS-440).

The LiveLink

cabling system is
Runco’s exclusive solution for
reliable, pure digital video signal
transfer. This is the first 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 Reflection 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.

In addition, the RS-900 and RS-1100/1100 Ultra incorporate SLIC™ or Selectable Lamp Intensity Control™,

with a two-stage lamp output level to more closely match projector light output to the room, lighting conditions

and screen size. The RS-1100 and RS-1100 Ultra also provide an electronically controlled iris, zoom, and focus

adjustment for precision installation and calibration. The RS-1100 Ultra adds AxiShift™ multidirectional lens shift

capabilities.

The RS-1100 Ultra also shares the heritage of Runco’s top of the line models, incorporating O-Path™ technology

for an enhanced optical light path and CinOptx™ Proteus premium lenses for superior image quality and the

flexibility of five lens choices for a wide variety of throw distance ranges.

As a finishing touch, Runco engineers gave special consideration to the RS-900 and RS-1100/1100 Ultra cooling

systems. These refined systems are more efficient, fostering longer projector and lamp life, while noise levels have

been reduced to a whisper quiet for your home theater enjoyment.

For the ultimate in viewing flexibility and enjoyment, Runco’s exclusive, award winning CineWide™ technology is

available on the RS-440LT, RS-900 and RS-1100/1100 Ultra. CineWide™ with AutoScope™ is also offered on

the RS-900 and RS-1100 Ultra. The CineWide option can transform these superb home theater systems into a

true home cinema experience, reproducing 2:35 CinemaScope™ movies with breathtaking accuracy and full vertical

screen image height, eliminating useless black bars at the top and bottom of the screen.

CINEWIDE™ AND CINEWIDE WITH AUTOSCOPE™

NO MORE BLACK BARS ABOVE AND BELOW THE PICTURE!

unco’s award winning CineWide

and CineWide with AutoScope

technology has created a revolution

in faithful movie reproduction,

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 image height is maintained, eliminating

black bars.

This is done through an ingenious combination of software, electronics and precision

Conventional Method

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.

With CineWide, the projector is able to use the full pixel array on its SuperOnyx™

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. CineWide

technology is available on the RS-440LT, RS-900 and RS-1100/1100 Ultra.

*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.

Specifications are subject to change without notice. Optional ceiling bracket available.

**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.
