HD Format: If the characteristics of the incoming signal on the HD1 or HD2 inputs are known, select HD Format from the Service menu and set them as described below. Doing so can reduce the time it takes the VHD Controller to switch from HD to 480i signals or vice versa.

This is generally not necessary unless the VHD Controller – for whatever reason – has difficulty determining the color space (RGB or YUV), bandwidth or resolution of the incoming HD signal. In most situations, the Auto settings work well.

•HD/RGB 1 and HD/RGB 2 (Color Space): Select Auto, RGB or YUV.

•ADC Bandwidth: Select Auto, 75 MHz, 150 MHz or 300 MHz.

•YPbPr Input Resolution: Select Auto or specify the input resolution, if known: 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p or 1080i.

Triggers: Select Triggers from the Service menu to configure the 12-volt trigger outputs. You can assign one or more trigger outputs to each aspect ratio. Those triggers are then activated by selecting that aspect ratio.

If your projector is equipped with the Vidikron CineWide with AutoScope system, assign at least one trigger output (the same one to which the lens motor is connected) to the Cinema and Intelliwide 2.35 aspect ratios.

To configure a trigger to activate when the system is turned on – for example, when using the trigger to control a retractable screen – assign that trigger to all aspect ratios.

To save the trigger settings so that they can be restored after a System Reset (described below), press repeatedly to highlight “Save.” Then, press ENTER.

Miscellaneous: Select Miscellaneous from the Service menu to set the following options:

•Language: Select Language from the Miscellaneous menu and press the up- or down-arrows to select the OSD language. (Currently, only English is supported.)

•Menu Mode: This is the manner in which the OSD menus appear and disappear when you press MENU. Choose one of the following:

0 = No transition; menus abruptly appear and disappear.

1 = Menus fade in and out.

2 = “Checkerboard” dissolve; menus appear and disappear in sections.

3 = “Window shade” effect; menus are drawn on a diagonal from top left to bottom right, and retract in the opposite direction.

•Timeout - Short/Long: These settings control how long the OSD menus stay on screen. Select a time-out period of from 2 to 60 seconds.

•Side Bar Color: This controls the color of the inactive image area. The range is from -100 (black) to 100 (white).

The inactive image area is on either side of the active image area when using the Standard 4:3 aspect ratio, and above and below the active image area when using the Letterbox aspect ratio.

•Film Mode: Enable Film Mode to smooth out moving images from interlaced, standard-definition (SD) sources. In most cases, the VHD Controller detects the proper “pull-down” rate and vertical frequency. However, if your source is jittery and/or tearing you may wish to enable Film Mode to ensure stable processing for that source.

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. Their commitment to color accuracy and detailed imagery makes them a top choice for those seeking an enthralling home cinema experience.
