Introduction

The Vision 50 Series DLP Projectors offer the astounding picture quality and versatility heretofore associated with more expensive projectors. Their 1280 x 720 native resolution DLP light engine incorporates all-new technology for bright, pristine 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 50 is equipped with a precision optics package offering a power zoom control and a throw range of 1.82:1 to 2.37:1.

The Vision 50'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 50 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 50 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 50 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 50 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.
