Operation

Noise Filter: To apply noise filtering to the input signal, select Noise Filter from the Input Color menu. The Noise Filter is useful for clearing up noisy images from 480i video sources.

Use the left- or right-arrow buttons to select the desired amount of noise reduction, keeping in mind that higher settings (which reduce high frequencies) may also “soften” the image.

ISF Day - Display Color: Refer to ISF Night - Display Color.

ISF Day - Input Image: Refer to ISF Night - Input Image.

ISF Day - Input Color: Refer to ISF Night - Input Color.

Save ISF Settings: Whenever you make a change to the ISF settings, you should always save it. Select Save ISF Settings from the ISF Calibration menu to do this. In the event you ever have to perform a System Reset, you can restore the saved ISF settings by selecting Restore Saved Settings in the Service menu. (System Reset and Restore Saved Settings are described on page 79.)

Output Shift: The controls in the Output Shift menu are similar to those in the Input Position menu, except that they change the characteristics of the output signal. These settings are saved independently for each aspect ratio.

To save the Output Shift settings for the current aspect ratio so that they can be restored after a System Reset (described on page 79), press repeatedly to highlight “Save.” Then, press ENTER.

Splash Configure: Use the Splash Configure menu to customize the appearance of the start-up message that appears on the vacuum fluorescent display upon power-up.

Owner Name/ISF Calibrated/ISF Other: You can have the Vision 140/150 display the owner’s name, your name, the phrase “ISF Calibrated” and/or any other string, up to 20 characters in length.

Use the up or down cursor button to select a character. Use the right and left cursor buttons to change the cursor position. Press MENU when you have finished entering text. Then, check the “Splash Enable” box to have the Vision 140/150 display the information you enter here when it is turned on.

Vidikron/ISF Logo Splash Screen Timers: When you turn on the Vision 140/150, it projects a welcome screen with the Vidikron logo followed by one with the ISF logo. Select Splash Timer from the Splash Configure menu to set the amount of time that these two images appear. The range is from 2 to 60 seconds, in one-second increments.

Use the up or down cursor button to select a timer value to adjust. Use the right or left cursor button to change the timer value. Press MENU when you have finished configuring both timers.

OSD Position: Select OSD Position, press ENTER and use the arrow buttons to change the size and position of the OSD controls.

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.

At the heart of the Vidikron Vision series is a state-of-the-art DLP (Digital Light Processing) projection technology which provides sharp images and vibrant colors. Both projectors utilize a high-contrast 1080p resolution, ensuring that content looks lifelike and detailed. The Vision 150, particularly, stands out for its ability to reproduce deep blacks and luminous whites, thanks to its advanced dynamic iris functionality, which optimizes light output in real time.

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.

In summary, the Vidikron Vision 150 and Vision 140 projectors represent a perfect blend of cutting-edge technology, stunning visuals, and user-friendly functionality.
