   Greetings!
Home theater has become much more than products wired
together to make sound and picture. Integration has become the key to producing a whole-istic a/v system. All aspects of the design and implementation are now as important as any other. And putting all of these aspects together seamlessly is the value of us as a custom integrator.

This issue we offer some cool solutions for custom integration. May you live long and prosper.
Runco WindowWall opens a new domain of display art possibilities
The Runco WindowWall is part of a unique visual lifestyle solution. A flexible usage model fits today's preference and trends for convergence including digital photography, PC operation, video conferencing, broadcast programming, and more. Featuring an ultra-slim bezel at just 7.3mm, the WindowWall LCD displays are visually-stunning, and personalize a private viewing area.













Runco ColourPalette designer or custom bezel colors
Runco understands that color plays a significant role in any home. To create the perfect synergy between color and technology, Runco has created its ColourPalette custom paint offerings for its displays. Comprised of 13 fantastic colors that enhance nearly every décor, Runco now offers its extensive line of home theater projectorsplasma displays and LCD displays in spectacular color hues. Beyond Runco's custom palette, we also offer exact color matching from any fabric, paint or surface to ensure your display fits seamlessly with your room's décor. Finally, technology combines elements of design to be a flawless addition to today's luxury home.


Runco FrameGallery handcrafted wood flat panel frames
Runco's Frame Gallery are seven handcrafted custom frame solutions that beautifully surround each of Runco's CrystalSeries CX LCD flat-panel displays. In addition to being ensconced in a craftsman frame with the Runco Frame Gallery option, each flat-panel LCD display is also wrapped in Runco's all-black light absorption Cinema Velvet Finish™ (CVF) matting. The result of the frame and the CSV matting mirrors the look of both high-end theater screens as well as the expensive matting that can be found surrounding priceless works of art.


Runco SilverSheen handcrafted wood flat panel frames
In concert with Frame Gallery, Runco also introduces its unique mirrored SilverSheen™ technology allowing Frame Gallery customers the option of a mirrored surface on their flat-panel display. The SilverSheen** offering changes your display into an elegant centerpiece for your home décor. The mirrored surface creates and an invisible television that is hidden when the display is off and springs to life with the touch of your remote. SilverSheen surface technology allows for high-definition viewing of any content when the LCD is in use and reflects just like a gorgeous traditional mirror when the panel is turned off, further enabling technology to seamlessly complement a room's decor . The Runco SilverSheen option is available on the Runco's CX- 42HD, CX-47HD, CX-55HD, and CX-65HD flat-panel displays.

Runco Q-750i LED Projector
We are lovin' this projector with its lampless technology and 70% more energy efficient.
Check out Home Entertainment Magazine's review of the Q-750i here.

Integrating Runco's award-winning controller/processor technology for flawless images from any source, the Q-750i sets new standards in projection with Runco's game-changing InfiniLight™ LED lampless technology, Personal Color Equalizer™ and Runco SmartColor™.

Runco's revolutionary QuantumColor™ LED home theater projector pairs energy-saving LED technology with proprietary Runco engineering to create unsurpassed performance and unrivaled customization. The Runco QuantumColor Q-750i maximizes the benefits of Runco's new InfiniLight™ lampless LED illumination technology to provide an infinite light source that creates an energy-efficient projector with the widest color gamut ever available in home theater projection. But simply creating a projector platform with lampless technology and the largest color gamut isn't enough. Harnessing its incredible color options, Runco introduces its revolutionary new Personal Color Equalizer™, which allows color adjustment that includes those exactly defined by the cinematographer and the color preferences of each individual viewer for each source. Proprietary Runco Smart Color (RSC™) provides a hue compensation curve and gamut mapping that allows for lifelike, accurate flesh tones while increasing color saturation, without sacrificing the purity of other colors.

In addition to Runco's proprietary InfiniLight, Personal Color Equalizer and Runco Smart Color, Runco the Q-750i home theater projector can also be paired with Runco's award-winning CineWide™ and CineWide with AutoScope™ 2.35:1 technology. CineWide provides uncompromised widescreen reproduction for its Runco home theater projectors to perfectly reproduce movies originally filmed in Hollywood's most common format, CinemaScope™ 2:35:1. This QuantumColor HD projector is simply the most revolutionary and stunning LED projector available.
