Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of a Vidikron Vision Model 90t or Model 100t (“Vision 90t/100t“) Digital Light Processing (DLP™) Projector, among the world’s first THX® Certified, high-definition home theater projectors.

THX recommends the use of 720p source material for optimal performance

Note

with this product.

 

The Vision 90t/100t has been specifically engineered to produce high performance video in the kinds of environments most people use to enjoy their entertainment. Most high-end video projectors are intended for use in dedicated home theater environments with controlled lighting. However, many people prefer to have their entertainment systems in the rooms they use for everyday living.

Vidikron has responded by creating the Vision Model 90t and Model 100t. The Vision 90t/100t produces very high quality, high-resolution pictures even in rooms with plenty of light. The result is a plasma-like picture on a very large screen, even in daylight, with drapes open and lights ablaze!

Vidikron has accomplished this by incorporating the most advanced 3-chip, high definition DLP™ technology. Unlike previous, single-chip implementations of DLP, no color wheel is used. This reduces mechanical complexity and compromises to color spectrum purity. The Vision 90t/100t is enhanced further by significant horizontal and vertical lens shift capability for maximum installation flexibility.

This technology is integrated into a specially designed light engine developed by Vidikron engineers to provide the perfect blend of high-quality image reproduction and extremely high light output. As a result, the Vision 100 produces an amazing 3500 ANSI lumens of light output (CSMS™ light output of 78.5 ft-Lamberts). The Vision 90 produces an impressive 2250 ANSI lumens of light output (CSMS™ light output of 45.3 ft-Lamberts).

The Vision 90t/100t’s 16:9 native aspect ratio Digital Micromirror Device™ (DMD™) array makes it ideal for widescreen viewing, while its 3-chip, 1280 x 720 native resolution produces crisp, crystal clear high definition images with richly saturated colors, deep black levels and natural, highly refined detail.

Vidikron’s exclusive all-digital Imagix™ video processing is integrated into the projector chassis for the most advanced video scaling and image quality available. This advanced design provides pure digital connections from input to light engine for absolutely stellar pictures. In addition, Vidikron’s multiple aspect ratio control includes its unique IntelliWide™ mode for viewing standard video formats in widescreen without loss of image quality.

For uncompromising widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope” (2.35:1) format, the Vision 90t/100t can be equipped with Vidikron’s patent-pending CineWide™ with AutoScope™ system, which 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.

CineWide with AutoScope requires the use of a 2.35:1 or similar aspect ratio

Note

superwide format screen.

 

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