Introduction

The Vidikron Vision™ 70 is our most affordable new 1080p projector. It has been designed to deliver the highest level of performance with expanded installation flexibility. The

1920 x 1080 native resolution DLP™ light engine incorporates all-new technology that works with our exclusive Imagix™ video processing to deliver amazing, ultra high definition images.

Contrast ratio and dynamic range extend to new heights with Vidikron's exclusive V² Aperture Control™ (VAC), an electronically-controlled iris system.

The standard Vision 70 is equipped with a precision optics package offering power zoom, focus and lens shift controls and a throw range of 1.58:1 to 1.90:1.

The Vision 70's illumination system incorporates Vidikron's exclusive DualV Stage Illumination™ (DVSI™), which provides two light intensity levels to allow maximum flexibility for screen size, ambient light conditions, brightness and contrast balance, and lamp life preservation. It also has a newly refined cooling system, which increases efficiency and reduces noise levels.

The Vision 70 has been engineered to comply with Imaging Science Foundation™ (ISF) standards for maximum home theater image quality. Vidikron's sophisticated parameters for white balance and color gamut control have also been implemented for precise balance of gray scale and color. The Vision 70 incorporates Vidikron-proprietary de-interlacing technology that provides exceptional scaling and film-to-video (3:2 pull-down) conversion for the most artifact-free images possible.

For uncompromising widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope” (2.35:1) format, the Vision 70 can be equipped with Vidikron’s patent-pending CineWide technology, a combination of software, electronics and high-quality anamorphic optics.

CineWide maintains constant vertical height on the screen just as in a movie theater. When a viewer transitions from 1.78:1 (16:9) program material to 2.35:1, the image simply gets wider while full height is maintained. Also available with the Vision 70 is CineWide with AutoScope, an enhanced, remote-controlled version of CineWide.

CineWide requires the use of a 2.35:1 or similar aspect ratio superwide format

Note screen.

Discrete IR and RS-232 control make custom installation seamless, while discrete source and aspect ratio selection accommodate any automation control system.
