External test pattern source -- Ovation Multimedia, Digital Video Essentials or AVIA test DVD or equivalent.

A blue filter (provided with many test DVDs), for color level and tint adjustments.

Connect your test pattern source to the input that you are calibrating and proceed as follows.

Perform the adjustments in the order listed here.

The Vision70 also boasts a wide color gamut, supporting multiple color spaces including standard REC 709 and cinema-grade DCI-P3. This enhancement translates to lifelike colors that resonate with the viewer, bringing content to life with remarkable accuracy. Additionally, the projector's dynamic iris technology further optimizes the contrast by adjusting light output in real-time according to scene demands.

For connectivity, the Vidikron Vision70 is equipped with multiple HDMI inputs, allowing users to connect various devices like Blu-ray players, gaming consoles, and streaming devices effortlessly. This ensures versatile use and that viewers can enjoy different content sources without hassle.
