Installation

Height (Y) Adjustment: With the white field still on-screen, loosen the Height Adjustment Levers on either side of the lens. Then, slowly move the anamorphic lens into place so that there are no shadows on the top or bottom of the screen:

Too Low

Correct position

Too High

When the height is properly set, tighten the Height Adjustment Levers to secure the lens in place.

Pitch (Angle): Next, angle the lens to even out any top-to-bottom pincushion distortion. To do this, loosen the Pitch Adjustment Levers (directly above the Height Adjustment Levers) on either side of the lens to allow it to pivot freely. Then, adjust the anamorphic lens angle so that the projected image is rectangular:

Correct Lens Angle

Incorrect Lens Angle

The anamorphic lens will almost always be angled with respect to the projector; this is normal.

Once the proper lens angle has been set, firmly tighten the Pitch Adjustment Levers to secure the lens in place.

There may be some pincushion distortion even after the lens is properly

Note adjusted, especially at shorter throw distances. If this is the case, Vidikron recommends that you slightly over-scan the image into the screen frame area to mask the distortion.

Designed for cinema enthusiasts, these models bring the big screen experience into the comfort of one’s living room, delivering outstanding picture quality and an immersive viewing experience.

Both models boast a generous array of connectivity options, accommodating various devices effortlessly. Each projector is equipped with multiple HDMI ports, component video inputs, and RS-232 connections, facilitating seamless integration with home theater systems. This versatility ensures that users can easily switch between gaming consoles, Blu-ray players, and streaming devices without hassle.

The Vidikron Vision projectors also feature efficient cooling systems, designed for quiet operation without compromising performance. This aspect is particularly vital during long movie marathons or intense gaming sessions, allowing users to immerse themselves in content without distractions from fan noise.

In terms of installation, both models are relatively user-friendly, featuring lens shift and zoom capabilities that facilitate flexible placement options. This allows for optimal image size and position depending on the dimensions of the viewing room.
