Runco Puts LED Power into HDTV Front Projectors
By Rachel Cericola
Saving the planet and technology don't really go hand in hand. However, there is a way that you can do your part -- by purchasing more eco-friendly electronics. At CEDIA Expo in Atlanta today, Runco
just announced the QuantumColor Series, two new projectors trying to play nice with Mother Nature.
Both units combine energy-saving LED technology with good, old Runco engineering.
"QuantumColor is a revolutionary solution that maximizes LED performance and offers a never-before-seen color gamut. But, having these features is only part of the magic," says Runco CEO Gerry Perkel. "To make this a revolutionary new platform, Runco created proprietary technologies that harness the impressive color gamut to create images that are nothing short of stunning."
Runco's QuantumColor Series Q-750i features integrated video processing.
One of those proprietary technologies is Runco's new InfiniLight lampless illumination technology, which delivers must-see performance from an energy-efficient system. They also worked closely with Texas Instruments for better color options. Included in the unit is Runco's Personal Color Equalizer (PCE), which allows tweakers to dial up their own color adjustment. Other features include Runco SmartColor, ColorContrast, and the InstantOn feature. Two lens options can also accommodate almost any theater and screen size.
"Runco has been innovating and changing projection technology for years," says Joel Silver, founder and president of the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF). "An LED lampless light source is clearly the next step in front projection, and Runco's investment in color gamut and customization puts its QuantomColor projectors well ahead of the pack. The innovation offered by Runco's Personal Color Equalizer easily enables accurate color gamut for all current sources."
The Q-750i will be the first QuantumColor product to ship, starting in November. Featuring integrated video processing, the Q-750i will cost $14,995. About a month later, the Q-750d will arrive, with Runco's latest DHD controller/processor. That will have a $17,995 price tag.
