Runco once again seizes the competitive advantage with the introduction of our new Reflection Series™ RS-900 DLP™ projector, a full 1080p model. Runco's award winning heritage is on full display with these installer-friendly, high performance products.
The RS-900 has been engineered for the top quality 1080p picture performance and installation flexibility heretofore associated with projectors costing far more.
The RS-900's 1920 x 1080 native resolution DLP™ light engine features Runco's powerful SuperOnyx™ technology for bright, pristine, high definition images at today’s highest available resolution.
Contrast ratio and dynamic range extend to new boundaries with the inclusion of Runco's exclusive Reflectance Volume Regulation™ (RVR) including a new electronically controlled iris system.
The RS-900 incorporates an illumination system featuring Runco's exclusive Selectable Lamp Intensity Control™ (SLIC™), which provides two selectable lamp intensity levels to allow maximum flexibility for screen size, ambient light conditions, brightness and contrast balance, and preservation of usable lamp life. It also has a newly refined lamp cooling system that increases efficiency and reduces noise levels.
The RS-900 has been engineered to comply with the Imaging Science Foundation™ (ISF) standards for proper setup and calibration ensuring maximum home theater image quality. Runco’s sophisticated parameters for white balance and color gamut control have also been implemented for precise balance of gray scale and color space.
Runco’s advanced Vivix™ digital video processing is included in the RS-900 to enhance picture quality and provide artifact-free scaling. Also included are discrete input source, aspect ratio and power on/off, as well as an RS-232 interface for seamless integration with automation control systems. Two HDMI inputs with HDCP are also provided.
The RS-900 becomes our most affordable 1080p projector to offer customers the ultimate Runco technology option – CineWide™ with AutoScope™, using the same advanced engineering as our most expensive models to bring you CinemaScope™ 2.35:1 movies with no black bars at the touch of a button.
Runco's Exclusive CineWide™ Technology*
Runco’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.
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.

| | | | CineWide™ with AutoScope™ | |
 | A conventional 2.35:1 image displayed on a 1.78:1 (16:9) screen. | | Constant vertical height and full resolution are maintained. 100% of pixels are used. Black Bars are eliminated. | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | 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 requires the use of a 2.35:1 or similar aspect ratio superwide format screen. |
