Introduction

The PlasmaView VHD High-Definition Plasma Display establishes a higher threshold for flat panel display products. The PlasmaView VHD is available in three sizes, including our largest and highest-resolution plasma ever, at 103 inches diagonal and 1920 x 1080 (1080p) native resolution.

The PlasmaView VHD takes picture quality to a whole new level, boasting our brightest picture, best contrast ratio, deepest black levels and most spot-on high definition colorimetry ever! In addition, sophisticated 16-bit digital video processing, a new milestone, results in 4096 steps of graduation for seamless images, completely devoid of the primitive “solarization” and “stair stepping” characteristics previously plaguing digital flat panel displays.

Discrete, multiple aspect ratio control includes IntelliWide™ for viewing 4:3 content in widescreen without appreciable picture degradation, as well as ISF(ccc) calibration modes to easily maintain ISF standards. The automation interface includes RS-232 control with discrete aspect ratio, input and power on/off selection.

The included VHD Digital Video Controller/Processor provides a pure digital signal path from input to output as well as a broad array of video input choices, all available from its position in the equipment rack, with only digital video and control cables running to the display itself.

The PlasmaView VHD not only represents a leap forward in high definition flat-panel technology, but our engineering advances in plasma design ensure that it will enjoy a long life in any installation, with operation extending to as much as 60,000 hours. At less than 5-3/4 inches thin, the PlasmaView VHD provides unlimited installation flexibility as well.

For high-altitude installations, Vidikron also offers the VP-5000VHDa and VP-6500VHDa with industry-leading high-altitude compliance to over 9,000 feet mean sea level (MSL). The VP-5000VHDa and VP-6500VHDa share all other features and specifications with the VP-5000VHD and VP-6500VHD.
