Description, Features and
Benefits
The Vidikron Vision™ 70 is our most affordable new 1080p projector. It has been designed to
deliver the highest level of performance with expanded installation flexibility. The
1920 x 1080
native resolution DLP™ light engine incorporates all-new technology that works
with our exclusive Imagix™ video processing to deliver amazing, ultra high definition images.
Contrast ratio and dynamic range extend to new heights with Vidikron's exclusive V
²
Aperture Control™ (VAC), an electronically-controlled iris system.
The standard Vision 70 is equipped with a precision optics package offering power zoom,
fo
cus and lens shift controls and a throw range of 1.58:1 to 1.90:1.
The Vision 70'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 70 has been engineered to comply with Imaging Science Foundation™ (ISF)
standards for maxi
mum 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. The Vision 70 incorporates Vidikron-proprietary de-interlacing
technology that provides exceptional scaling and film-to-video (3:2 pull-down) conversion
for the most artifact-free images possible.
For uncompromising widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope”
(
2.35:1) format, the Vision 70 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. Also available with the Vision 70 is CineWide with AutoScope,
an enhanced, remote-controlled version of CineWide.
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.
