Introduction

Vidikron further solidifies its leadership role with the introduction of the Vision 120 Digital Light Processing (DLP™) Projector. This overachiever combines state-of-the-art, 1920x1080 DLP™ resolution with advanced 3-chip engineering. The results are simply stunning, with jaw-dropping images that must be seen to be believed!

Vidikron has taken 1080p performance to a new level with this machine and harnessed the brightness and contrast capabilities inherent in 3-chip light engine design for a powerful presentation.

The Vision 120 comes with an external, all-digital signal processor/controller featuring advanced Imagix™ video processing, superb scaling and aspect ratio control. The Vision 120 is enhanced further by significant horizontal and vertical lens shift capability for maximum installation flexibility.

The Vision 120’s 16:9 native aspect ratio DMD array makes it ideal for widescreen viewing, while its 3-chip, 1920 x 1080 native resolution produces crisp, crystal clear high-definition images with richly saturated colors, deep black levels and natural, highly refined detail.

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 120 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 120 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.
