It only gets used when a client asks for a demonstration. This projector is currently installed in a high-end theater room with a 136" 2:35 masking screen at about 22 feet of throw and is being sold to make room for a more current model. It includes the ceiling mount, original carton, remote and manuals. The Cinewide with Auto scope is included in the price and will be sold as a complete unit but shipped in a seperate box like it came originally. This projector has a phenominal picture rivaling the best native 1080p projectors on the market thanks to Runco's superior video processing. This package sold for over $32,000 new! I will allow up to $250 for shipping through UPS GROUND. I will ship from the UPS store because there is a better guarantee against damage. Local pick-up is recommended but not required. Because of the size of the package and the fact that there is more than one box for the lense and mount I have listed shipping as "local pick-up". This will be calculated when the sale is complete.   KEY FEATURES 3-chip DLP™ system, using SuperOnyx™ DMD chips 1280 x 720 native resolution Integrated all-digital DHD™ Video Controller CinOptx™ Proteus lens options for HD images Integrated LiveLink™ technology to preserve HD signals Runco steps into the future once again with the Video Xtreme™ VX-2ix Digital Light Processing (DLP™) Projector, one of the first DLP projectors to offer a 16:9 native resolution, 3-chip system for home theater. The VX-2ix optical light engine utilizes three advanced, 16:9 Digital Micromirror Device™ (DMD™) chips featuring 1280 x 720, high-definition resolution and 12-degree mirror tilt for unsurpassed black level performance. The VX-2ix is equipped with an embedded, all-digital signal processor/controller featuring advanced Vivix II™ video processing, superb scaling and aspect ratio control. Runco’s exclusive LiveLink™ DVI cable system circuitry is integrated into the projector to preserve HD signal quality over long runs.   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. * Patent Pending. Conventional Method 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. How it works 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 Place a Bid!
