Introduction

The new VX-4000ci builds off of the versatility of the VX-5000c DLP

by employing Runco's 3rd

Generation engineering practices. The GEN 3 features included with the VX-4000ci are: motorized
Reflectance Volume Regulation (RVR), digital video input with HDCP, 9 point Color Balance, and the
high contrast 16:9 HD2+ DMD (Digital Micro-Mirror Device) from Texas Instruments. The remote con-
trolled Reflectance Volume Regulation (RVR) allows adjustable iris control of contrast ratio versus light
output for the best imaging performance in any viewing environment. The digital video input with HDCP
permits the signal to stay digital through the entire signal path. A 9-point color balance, accurately
adjusts color balance for some of the best gray-scale tracking available on a consumer DLP. The HD2+
DMD generates an exceptionally high contrast ratio for high light output and better black level than
obtainable with FILM. By incorporating 6 customizable lens optics a wider range of specified throw dis-
tances from 0.67:1 (for rear-screen applications) to over 5.7:1 can be projected in a large living space
or concealed behind a cabinet.  The VX-4000ci projector system also includes the DHD

Controller

with VIVIX

technology upconverting standard definition sources to virtual high Definition. For added

flexibility, horizontal and vertical lens shift allows the most versatility in placement ever available on a
consumer projector.
