Description, Features and
Benefits
The Vision 30 Series DLP Projectors offer the astounding picture quality and versatility
heretofore associated with more expensive projectors. Their 1280 x 720 native resolution
DLP light engine incorporates all-new technology for bright, pristine high-definition images.
With throw distances of 1.38 – 1.80:1 on the Vision Model 30 and 1.88 – 2.45:1 on the
longer-throw Model 30ET, both units offer the performance and installation flexibility
custom home theater enthusiasts have come to expect from Vidikron — all at a superb price
and packaged with outstanding build quality.
Advanced Vidikron Imagix™ digital video processing is engineered into these all-new
projection systems to achieve improved image quality even from standard video sources, in
addition to artifact-free scaling of higher resolution formats.
The Vision 30's illumination system incorporates Vidikron's exclusive DualV Stage
Illumination™ (DVSI™), which provides two light intensity levels to allow maximum flexibility
for screen size, ambient light conditions, brightness and contrast balance, and lamp life
preservation. It also has a newly-refined cooling system, which increases efficiency and
reduces noise levels.
The Vision 30 has been engineered to comply with Imaging Science Foundation™ (ISF)
standards for maximum home theater image quality. Vidikron's sophisticated parameters for
white balance and color gamut control have also been implemented for precise balance of
gray scale and color.
For uncompromising widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope”
(2.35:1) format, the Vision 30 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.
Discrete IR and RS-232 control make custom installation seamless, while discrete source and
aspect ratio selection accommodate any automation control system.
CineWide requires the use of a 2.35:1 or similar aspect ratio superwide format
screen.
