Overview

The world's most advanced light valve projection technology.

The LightAmp 4000's spectacular brightness is a result of its impressive illumination capability. The light source is a 1.5 kilowatt Xenon Arc Lamp.

The LightAmp 4000 features close-tolerance construction of the highest quality. the design is completely modular for easy in-field servicing. Only top grade materials and components are used throughout.

Runco International presents the world's first light valve projector designed expressly for home theater applications. Traditional light valve projectors have offered increased brightness over conventional cathode ray tube (CRT) projectors, but suffered from a lack of quality in other critical areas such as resolution.

The Runco LightAmp 4000 not only offers the brightest picture available today, it does so with unequaled resolution, contrast, detail and color saturation. What separates the Light Amp 4000 from conventional light valve machines is patented technology developed by Hughes Aircraft for NASA and the U.S. Department of Defense.

The core of this technology is the Image Light Amplifier, or ILA™ light valve design.

This solid state device uses reflective rather than transmissive light to project an image of striking clarity and brightness. The result is a picture more than ten times as bright as conventional CRT projectors, with four times the contrast and high definition television (HDTV) resolution capabilities!

The LightAmp 4000 has every conceivable feature you've come to expect from a high-end projector, including a variety of lens choices to accommodate virtually any required throw distance. Yet, user operation via the infrared remote control is as simple as any television.

Reliability and ease of service have been extensively field proven, giving you the peace of mind to just sit back and enjoy the show. Like any sophisticated piece of equipment, the Light Amp 4000 is complex. It requires the highest caliber of technically trained video technician to be properly installed and calibrated in your home theater.

Runco has addressed this critical need and furnishes the ultimate solution with every LightAmp 4000 sold. Your LightAmp 4000 will be personally calibrated for maximum performance by Mr. Joseph Kane, Co-Founder of the Imaging Science Foundation.

Whether your home theater requirements demand exceptional brightness, very large screen sizes without picture degradation, or both, the LightAmp 4000 is your ticket to the most exciting home theater pictures obtainable on Earth. available exclusively from Runco, the recognized leader and most respected name in home theater video.
