UNION CITY, CALIFORNIA—Runco International, the world leader in high-end home theater video display technology, steps into the future once again with the introduction of the Video Xtreme™ VX-2c Projection System. This revolutionary high definition imaging technology, with forward-thinking engineering, is the first to deliver a native 16:9, 3-chip entertainment experience to a variety of home theater environments. Packaged with the new, Next Generation ViVix II™ DHD™ Digital Controller, which features advanced digital processing and expansive connectivity, the VX-2c package sets a higher standard for home video excellence. The Video Xtreme VX-2c Projection System is now shipping worldwide.

The VX-2c breaks new ground among DLP projectors by offering 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 for DLP, Runco and its engineers built on an exclusive store of experience to implement the technology in the VX-2c. 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.

“The Video Xtreme VX-2c Projection System is a thrilling achievement for the Runco team and is exciting news for discriminating home theater enthusiasts,” said Bob Hana, president of Runco International. “Our design approach continuously seeks to raise standards for video reproduction, and with the VX-2c System, we brought innovation to each aspect of its performance. Pairing our world-renowned projection and signal processing technology, this new video display package represents the next level in what can be expected for state-of-the-art home theater.”
