58 Vidikron Vision Model 10/Model 12 Owner’s Operating Manual
PRE
L
IMINAR
Y
+12V Output: 0.25 Amps, active when the projector is turned on
Power Requirements: 100 to 240 VAC (auto-sensing), 50/60 Hz, 370 Watts
Operating Environment: 41°F to 95°F (5°C to 35°C), 0% to 90% humidity
(non-condensing)
Dimensions: See Figure 7-1
Weight (including lens): 27.5 lbs. (12.47 kg)
Brightness and Contrast: Cinema Standards Measurement System (CSMS)
Specifications
- Brightness: 15.9 foot-Lamberts (fL) (Vision Model 10);
16.1 foot-Lamberts (fL) (Vision Model 12)
- Contrast Ratio: 219:1 (Vision Model 10);
224:1 (Vision Model 12)
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: 410 ANSI Lumens (Vision Model 10);
417 ANSI Lumens (Vision Model 12)
- Contrast Ratio: 219:1 (Vision Model 10);
224:1 (Vision Model 12)
These specifications are obtained by calibrating the projector as
described above for CSMS measurements.
Industry-Standard Specifications
- Light Output: 780 ANSI Lumens (Vision Model 10);
820 ANSI Lumens (Vision Model 12)
- Contrast Ratio: 2400:1 (Vision Model 10);
2550:1 (Vision Model 12)
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.
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.
