Specifications for the SC-30d/SC-35d Active 3D Projection System
Offering the best in high-end luxury projection, the new Signature Cinema™
SC-30d/SC-35d Active 3D Projection System expands Runco’s most prestigious line of
custom-built personal cinema projectors.
In concert with the prowess of the Signature Cinema Series, the SC-30d/SC-35d offers
exceptional performance with a state-of-the-art product that enables an extraordinary
cinematic experience that surpasses even the most renowned public theaters. This is
because the product and room are custom-built with the finest components to exactly
match an owner’s specifications. The SC-30d/SC-35d utilizes a Runco-patented
technology to enable the use of digital cinema lenses in a proprietary optical system and
provides an unparalleled range of brightness and features for creating immersive
entertainment experiences.
The SC-35d boasts 3,500 ANSI lumens of brightness (uncalibrated), and when calibrated
to Runco’s CSMS™ standards delivers a dazzling 87 Foot-Lamberts (fL) of
brightness.These benefits combine into a brilliant image that provides a spectacular color
gamut and contrast, as well as unmatched color brightness, even on the largest screen
sizes. For home theater environments that may not require the SC-35d’s light output
capability, the SC-30d provides an impressive 1,950 ANSI Lumens (before calibration) of
light output and enhanced contrast. In all other respects, the two projectors are identical.
The SC-30d/SC-35d ships with Runco’s new Dimension Digital Controller™ (DC-300),
which has been engineered to enhance 3D performance. This 2U outboard controller
provides a level of flexibility and control not commonly found in integrated processors, and
provides the Runco installer with a full suite of calibration tools necessary to achieve a
perfect picture in any viewing environment.
The SC-30d/SC-35d comes with three pairs of active 3D glasses and relies on frame
sequential 3D technology to ensure that users can enjoy 2D and 3D content on the same
screen, with full 1080p HD resolution delivered to both eyes.

Description, Features
and Benefits
The SC-30d/SC-35d features Runco’s revolutionary Personal Color Equalizer™ (PCE),
which allows color adjustment that includes those exactly defined by the cinematographer
and the color preferences of each individual viewer for each source.
In addition to Runco's proprietary Personal Color Equalizer, the SC-30d/SC-35d can also
be paired with Runco’s legendary CineWide™ technology. Through an ingenious
combination of software, electronics and precision anamorphic optics, CineWide provides
uncompromised widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope” 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 useless black bars on
the top and bottom of the screen. Also available with the SC-30d/SC-35d is CineWide
with AutoScope™, an enhanced, remote-controlled motorized version of CineWide.
CineWide requires the use of a 2.35:1 (or similar aspect ratio),
Note
Rounding out this projector’s impressive feature set are discrete input source, aspect ratio
and power on/off control (via serial commands or IR codes), for seamless integration with
automation control systems.
A SC-30d/SC-35d Active 3D Projection System consists of the following components:
• The projector (equipped with dual digital video inputs) with optional anamorphic lens
and lens transport assembly.
• The DC-300 Dimension Digital Controller™ unit that provides “left-eye” and “right-eye“
video signals and the on-screen display (OSD) menu to the projector. In addition, the
Dimension Digital Controller controls the projector in response to user input via its
infrared (IR) remote control unit or front-panel keypad, an external control system or
HDMI Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) messages.
• An Active 3D Emitter that receives a left/right synchronization signal from the Dimension
Digital Controller and transmits it to the Active 3D Glasses worn by the viewers. This
signal precisely controls when left and right fields are visible through the glasses.
Figure 2-1 shows how these components connect to and interact with each other. The
following sections describe each one in detail.

Figure 2-1. SC-30d/SC-35d Active 3D Projection System Block Diagram
A SC-30d/SC-35d Active 3D Projection System can display both traditional 2D and
stereoscopic 3D video content.
An active 3D presentation requires a specialized video signal source configuration and
content to be displayed correctly. Images from a stereo 3D video source consist of a
series of images (called frames or fields) that alternate quickly between two slightly
different view points, corresponding to a viewer’s left and right eyes.
When these frames are displayed fast enough and viewed with special stereo glasses
synchronized to the left/right changes, the resulting image appears with the same depth
and perspective that is sensed in the real world.
Figure 2-2 shows the key SC-30d/SC-35d components.
The inside of the lens barrel is threaded to accommodate a standard, 72-mm lens
filter. For example, with a smaller screen you can install a neutral-density filter to
reduce the overall light output.
