Introduction

The all-new Vision 85 DLP Projector and VHD Controller is the most high performance single-chip DLP™ 1920 x 1080 projection system available. Its performance is so impressive that the Vision™ Model 85 earns prestigious THX® certification, joining other Vidikron products as the world’s first to earn this distinction.

The Vision™ Model 85 incorporates a state-of-the-art light engine featuring engineering advancements for more efficient use of optical light engine design. This includes a sophisticated color balancing system and the industry’s best gray scale tracking. Vidikron’s exclusive V2 Aperture Control™ enables an ideal balance between black and white levels for each individual installation.

Vidikron’s exclusive, all-digital Imagix™ video processing is included for the most advanced video processing, 1080p scaling, and pristine image quality available. The Vision™ Model 85 offers a broad array of video inputs, including HDMI™. Discrete infrared (IR) and RS-232 control make custom installation seamless, while discrete source and aspect ratio selection accommodate any automation control system.

For uncompromising widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope” (2.35:1) format, the Vision 85 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 85 is CineWide with AutoScope™, an enhanced, remote-controlled motorized version of CineWide.

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

Note screen.
