Table 7-1. Vision 140/150 Specifications (continued)

Brightness and Contrast:

Cinema Standards Measurement System (CSMS)

 

Specifications

 

-

Brightness: 86.5 foot-Lamberts (fL) (Vision 140);

 

 

102.0 fL (Vision 150)

 

-

Contrast Ratio (variable, based on lens aperture setting):

 

 

235:1 - 275:1 (Vision 140); 224:1 - 275:1 (Vision 150)

 

These measurements are taken from the projector in a controlled, home

 

theater environment. All measurements are made to ANSI/NAPM

 

IT7.228-1997 specifications using the Photo Research PR-650

 

SpectraColorimeter and Minolta LS-100 Luminance Meter, Video

 

Essentials test DVD and a 1.3 gain, 72-inch wide screen. The projector is

 

calibrated to a color temperature of 6,500K and has a minimum of 150

 

hours of usage.

 

The foot-Lambert (fL) is the unit of measurement used in commercial

 

movie theaters to express image brightness at the screen surface. The

 

Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) specifies

 

16 fL as the target image brightness for film-based projectors using an

 

open gate (without film in the projector). More importantly, today

 

SMPTE specifies 12 fL as the target image brightness in Digital Cinema

 

theaters. The foot-Lambert measurement is dependent on screen size,

 

screen gain and projector light output.

 

Home Theater Calibration Specifications

 

-

Light Output: 2750 ANSI Lumens (Vision 140);

 

 

3517 ANSI Lumens (Vision 150)

 

-

Contrast Ratio (variable, based on lens aperture setting):

 

 

235:1 - 275:1 (Vision 140); 224:1 - 275:1 (Vision 150)

 

These specifications are obtained by calibrating the projector as

 

described above for CSMS measurements.

 

Industry-Standard Specifications

 

-

Light Output: 4000 ANSI Lumens (Vision 140);

 

 

6000 ANSI Lumens (Vision 150)

 

-

Contrast Ratio (variable, based on lens aperture setting):

 

 

1500:1 - 2000:1

 

These are typical projector brightness and contrast specifications found

 

in most companies’ sales literature. Vidikron includes these

 

measurements in its literature to allow for direct comparison with other

 

manufacturers’ projectors. These measurements are typically taken at

 

9,000K to 13,000K to get expected performance data when the projector

 

is used in professional, commercial and industrial displays.

 

 

Power Requirements:

Vision 140:

 

100 to 240 VAC (auto-sensing), 50/60 Hz, 1,650 Watts

 

Vision 150:

 

200 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 2,100 Watts

 

 

Operating Environment:

41°F to 95°F (5°C to 35°C), 20% to 80% humidity

 

(non-condensing)

 

 

Dimensions:

See Figure 7-1

 

 

Weight (without lens):

140 lbs. (63.50 kg)

 

 

Regulatory Approvals:

Complies with FCC, CE C-Tick

 

 

Limited Warranty:

Projector: Two (2) years parts and labor from the date of delivery

 

to the end user.

 

Lamp: 1000 hours or six (6) months, whichever comes first.

Specifications are subject to change without notice.

Vision 140, Vision 150 specifications

The Vidikron Vision 150 and Vision 140 are two exceptional high-definition home theater projectors that have garnered attention for their impressive performance and innovative features. 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.

One of the standout features of the Vision 150 is its color accuracy, achieved through a specialized color management system. This system enhances the projector's capability to reproduce various color gamuts, allowing users to experience films, sports, and games exactly as the content creators intended. The Vision 140, while slightly less feature-rich, still offers remarkable color fidelity, making it a strong competitor in the mid-range projector market.

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.
