The VX-2c offers a 3-chip configuration with 16:9 (1280 x 720) native resolution for home theater applications. As the first consumer projector manufacturer licensed by Texas Instruments (TI) for DLP, Runco and its engineers built on an exclusive store of experience to implement the technology in the VX-2c according to Runco. The team designed the projector’s optical light engine around 3 of TI’s HD-2 Digital Micromirror Devices, eliminating the need for a color wheel–reducing mechanical complexity–and achieving superior clarity, color saturation, and contrast.

Using Runco’s own industry-recognized Cinema Standards Measurement System (CSMS), the VX-2c achieves a light output of 1,199 Home Theater ANSI Lumens, 52.1 foot-Lamberts (2,500 ANSI Lumens), and a CSMS contrast ratio of 271:1 (3,100:1 ANSI). CSMS incorporates the respected Imaging Science Foundation’s (ISF) calibration standards and measures performance in a simulated home theater environment that has been adopted by independent video technology testers and custom installers seeking to provide the finest quality picture.

It utilizes 8-1/8” high 3-chip chassis, Runco’s smallest chassis to date. Six lens options (five zoom lenses and one for rear screen projection) make the VX-2 adaptable within restrictive installations and fit for screens up to 250 inches wide. A vertical shift of 60% down and 24% up for ceiling-mounted configurations is available from all zoom lenses, and a horizontal shift from 10% to 16% depending on which lens is used.

The VX-2c is also the world’s first projector to include Runco’s new LiveLink technology. This technology, developed by Runco engineers, is used for transmitting DVI pure digital signals over long distances. Typically, high-definition digital video signals can only be transmitted through DVI cables for a few meters without losing quality, but the VX-2c allows 720P and 1080i digital signals to be sent along its DVI cable up to 75 feet without any degradation of signal quality or bandwidth.
