LCOS (Liquid Crystal On Silicon) Optical System:
The Light Engine Defined “Lamp-to-Lens”
• 100W Ultra-High Pressure lamp provides intense white light source
• Integration optics transform the light into rectangular, laser-like beam
• Prism system
– The laser-like beam enters the prism and is divided into
three primary colors (red, green, blue).
– These three individual streams of light are directed to corresponding
light valves (imagers) where they pick up the modulated video
content as they are reflected off the surface of the imager.
- Each LCOS television has a 3-imager system capable of
precise color reproduction.
- Reflective imagers provide up to 25% more light than a
transmissive (LCD) system.
- Each imager is capable of displaying 1280 x 720P information.
This translates to over 900,000 pixels of information per
imager, totaling 2.76 million individually addressable pixels
for the total system.
– The three streams of light, each with the same video signal
attached, recombine within the prism into a single synchronized,
perfectly aligned HDTV image.
• 11 element lens system
– The perfectly aligned image exits the prism system and enters
an 11 element lens system, which magnifies the image 70 times
into a 50" widescreen HDTV picture.
– Lens system is color-corrected to enhance picture quality.
– The entire lens system has an anti-reflective (AR)
coating which helps optimize light output.

The Picture
3D Y/C Digital Frame Comb Filter
The ultimate in color separation—this three-
dimensional filter evaluates both current and
future video information, eliminating dot
and edge crawl, while providing smoother
transitions between scene changes—
resulting in a dramatically crisp picture.
1st Surface Glass Mirrors
Provides maximum picture brightness and
sharpness by reflecting more light from the
front surface of the mirror.
Wide Viewing Angle
With a horizontal viewing angle of virtually
180°, there’s not a bad seat in the house.

The Sound
Dolby Digital
2
Output
Sound technology that offers a range of
digitized information in a compressed
package. Dolby Digital
2
provides superior
audio quality, from mono to stereo to 5.1
channels. It delivers all the sound from all the
channels that were originally recorded to the
system’s sound decoder, which then outputs
the sound through the available speakers.
SRS
Focus
1
Audio Technology
Ingenious new technology from SRS Labs.
Raises the sound stage to ear level providing
more lifelike audio. Combined with SRS
1
3D Sound, it creates a fully immersive “live
performance” listening experience from as
few as two stereo speakers. Focus
1
technology
is ideally suited for home applications when
speakers can not be placed in optimal
locations for either space or aesthetic reasons.
The Limited Warranty
• One year for labor charges.
• One year for parts.
• Two years for light engine.
• See RCA Scenium dealer for
complete details.
The Convenience
Thin and Lightweight
Only 18" deep and weighs less than 100 pounds.
Universal Backlit Learning Remote Control
Seven-function universal remote with
2-line LCD. Macro and learning functions
allow you to consolidate most component
remotes and create shortcuts to your
favorite features.
Advanced (NTSC) Twin Tuner
™
Picture-In-Picture
Two built-in independent tuning systems
allow both large-picture and small-picture
viewing without the need for a second
external video source (e.g. VCR).
V-Chip Parental Control
Puts control back into the hands of the
viewer by blocking unwanted television
broadcasts with U.S. Government required
circuitry. Blocks three types of programs:
regular television programs, broadcast
movies and unrated programs.

You’ve never seen a TV quite like this before. A 50" widescreen television with innovative
high-definition resolution—super-bright, clear pictures in a remarkably thin, lightweight package.
Its brilliant clarity and 3-D feeling from corner-to-corner, combined with a broader viewing angle
means there isn’t a bad seat in the house.
The secret behind its superlative picture quality is a new high-resolution display technology
called LCOS (

ilicon). LCOS technology is basically light management.
Utilizing three reflective light valves (or imagers), a sophisticated prism, and lensing system, light
is transformed into a laser-like beam and imprinted with a high-definition image ultimately
magnified and displayed in a perfectly aligned widescreen format.
The result—a very light, very bright, high-definition TV.
