Introduction

The Vidikron Vision Model 15 Series DLP Projectors combines a highly efficient optical light engine with broad installation and integration options.

Vidikron has implemented a host of advancements into the projector’s light engine to take full advantage of its widescreen, high-definition Digital Micromirror Device (DMD™) chip. The Vision 15 features Enhanced GEN 3™ technology to produce deeper blacks, greater contrast ratio and brightness, and richly saturated colors.

Among the Vision 15’s features are a sophisticated color-balancing system that results in the industry’s best gray scale tracking, and far surpasses the capabilities of CRT projectors. Accurate gray scale reproduction is vital to vibrant, true-to-life color reproduction, as well as superior black level and white level performance. Vidikron’s acclaimed Imagix™ video processing and scaling assure pristine video imagery, while the Vision 15’s generous light output capability is powerful enough to handle screens as large as 96 inches wide with ease.

The Vision 15 features a 16:9 aspect ratio resolution of 1280 x 720. It provides an HDMI input for pure digital video signal transmission. In addition, the projector’s broad lens shift capability, variable throw distance, and electronic horizontal and vertical keystone correction allow for flexible placement within virtually any theater environment. Discrete IR and/or serial control makes it simple to partner the Vision 15 with other audio/video components and automated control systems for a truly high-end, home cinema system.

For uncompromising widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope” (2.35:1) format, the Vision 15 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.

CineWide requires the use of a 2.35:1 or similar aspect ratio superwide format
