The Video Xtreme VX-6c projector fam- ily is Runco’s ultimate achievement in
video projection design and performance.
Created for the very finest home theater
applications and true connoisseurs of big
screen picture perfection, these flagship
projection systems are not for the faint of
heart, but rather for those who will accept
no compromise.
Runco offers four distinct versions of the
VX-6c to meet the needs of any top qual-
ity installation requirement:
• The VX-6c 720P system offers high
definition resolution in a 16:9 format,
while providing multiple aspect ratio
selection in addition.
• The VX-6c 960P system provides even
greater resolution at all aspect ratios.
• The VX-6c 1024P system yields the
ultimate resolution by employing every
available pixel for maximum picture
clarity and brightness.
• And finally, the VX-6c 1024P 2.35
aspect ratio system also makes the
maximum resolution fully available,
and does so even in the very wid-
est CinemaScope 2.35:1 aspect ratio
— the only consumer video projection
system available with such awesome
capability!
These state-of-the-art projectors utilize
Texas Instruments’ most advanced Dark
Metal Process DMD™ chipsets with an
impressive 1280 x 1024 native resolution
in a 3-chip array. When combined with
the powerful 1.2 kilowatt Xenon lamp the
results are unparalleled brightness and stel-
lar high-resolution images on a variety of
screen sizes. Runco has engineered a lamp
intensity control system as well, so the
lamp can operate at lower output levels
when used with smaller screens to pre-
serve maximum black level performance.
In addition to the unprecedented versatil-
ity offered by the VX-6c projector family,
all four include Runco’s award winning
VHD Ultra Video Controller for outstand-
ing video processing, scaling and aspect
ratio control.
The Runco VX-6c projector family features
not only most technologically advanced
design ever offered, but includes horizon-
tal and vertical lens shift for maximum
installation flexibility even in the most
difficult situations. The limited edition
VX-6c will only be found at the most
exclusive addresses.

VHD ULTRA CONTROLLER SPECIFICATIONS (Included with the VX-6c):
*ANSI Lumen specification:
This is the typical projector luminosity (brightness) specification found in most sales literature. This measurement is included in
RUNCO literature to allow for direct comparison with other manufacturer’s projectors. These measurements can be taken at 9,000
to 13,000ºKelvin to get expected performance data when the projector is used in professional, commercial, and industrial displays.
CSMS Home Theater Calibration ANSI Lumen Specification:
These measurements are taken from the projector as set up in a home theater environment. The projector is calibrated to ISF
specifications including setting the color temperature to 6500ºKelvin, the standard for reproducing video.
CSMS Home Theater Calibration foot-Lambert (fL) Specification:
This is the unit of measurement used in commercial movie theaters to express image brightness. The Society of Motion Picture
and Television Engineers (SMPTE) specifies 16 fL as the target image brightness for film-based projectors using an open gate (with-
out film in the projector). More importantly, today SMPTE specifies 12 fL as the target image brightness in Digital Cinema theaters
using DLP™ technology. The foot-Lambert is dependant on screen size, screen gain, and projector light output.
All measurements are made at RUNCO to ANSI/NAPM IT7.228-1997 specifications using the Photo Research PR-650
SpectraColorimeter and Minolta LS-100 Luminance Meter, Video Essentials test DVD, and a Da-Lite 1.5 gain, 100-inch wide screen.
The projector is calibrated to a color temperature of 6500º Kelvin and has a minimum of 150 hours of usage.
