Electronic House Features Runco Projectors in Top Cool Homes of 2010

Wednesday, December 29, 2010

From high-end desert haciendas to extreme sports fan media rooms, Electronic House highlighted the most extreme and luxurious home theaters and automation systems over the past 12 months. Among them were two viewing rooms featuring Runco projection systems:

Hockey-Themed Theater Serves Up Jumbo Fun

This stadium-style theater features a mini jumbotron, which was custom-designed to offer a classy and creative hiding spot for the Runco VideoXtreme™ VX-8d amidst flush-mounted, 32-inch displays.

Batcave Meets Home Theater

This viewing room contains a secret automated door leading to a CinemaScope theater, which features the Runco RS-900 with a CineWide 2.35:1 anamorphic lens.

Runco Digital Compass™

Monday, December 20, 2010

By Jennifer Davis

The latest version of Runco’s award-winning DHD™ processing line-up includes a new feature that is poised to deliver unique benefits to our authorized dealers and their clients. The Runco Digital Compass™ is a nine-point digital alignment system that allows the installer to tune the images on the screen for precise geometry. Although we don’t recommend it for dramatic alignment, as it can cause softness when over-used, it is ideal for correcting the subtle pincushion effect that some experience with our award-winning CineWide® and CineWide® with AutoScope™ implementations and for compensating for screen imperfections.

It comes standard on the new DHD4™, the Brightness Acceleration Engine™ that ships with the QuantumColor Q-1500d, and the 3Dimension™ Processor, which ships with the 3Dimension Series D-73d projector. In our dual-imaging systems, this functionality is critical for the alignment of the engines and allows for lower-maintenance of the projectors over time. The DHD4 is available as a bundle with many products and as a stand-alone processing solution for use with nearly all Runco projectors. We are proud to continue to set the bar in video processing solutions. To find an authorized dealer near you who can design a home theater or media room for your home, see our dealer locator or, better yet, provide your contact information and we’ll facilitate a personal introduction.
