Description, Features and Benefits | Vidikron 140/150 manual

Introduction

Vidikron’s Vision Model 140 and Model 150 bring our most advanced technology, 1080p resolution and the world’s first THX® Certified home video products together in truly awesome fashion.

The Vision 140/150 uses a new, ingeniously engineered 3-chip DLP™ light engine, combined with an advanced Xenon LightAmp™ lamp illumination system to bring astoundingly high performance and ultra-high resolution to the very best home theaters on the planet.

The Vision 140 features a 1000W Xenon lamp, while the Vision 150 uses a 1.2-kW Xenon lamp to produce our brightest 1080p pictures ever. Four, high-precision zoom lenses are available with broad motorized horizontal and vertical lens shift capability. Vidikron engineers have ensured that light is efficiently culminated through the implementation of our advanced V2™ technology and have also engineered ISF™ calibration standards into these projectors.

The Vision 140/150 is furnished with Vidikron’s newest, next-generation, all-digital VHD Controller, featuring advanced Imagix™ processing, superb scaling, and the industry’s most advanced aspect ratio control system.

For uncompromising widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope” (2.35:1) format, the Vision 140/150 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 140/150 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.

Discrete IR and RS-232 control make custom installation seamless, while discrete source and aspect ratio selection accommodate any automation control system.
