Description, Features and
Benefits Congratulations on your purchase of a Vidikron Vision Model 90t or Model 100t (“Vision
90t/100t“) Digital Light Processing (DLP™) Projector, among the world’s first THX
®
Certified,
high-definition home theater projectors.
The Vision 90t/100t has been specifically engineered to produce high performance video in
the kinds of environments most people use to enjoy their entertainment. Most high-end
video projectors are intended for use in dedicated home theater environments with
controlled lighting. However, many people prefer to have their entertainment systems in the
rooms they use for everyday living.
Vidikron has responded by creating the Vision Model 90t and Model 100t. The Vision
90t/100t produces very high quality, high-resolution pictures even in rooms with plenty of
light. The result is a plasma-like picture on a very large screen, even in daylight, with drapes
open and lights ablaze!
Vidikron has accomplished this by incorporating the most advanced 3-chip, high definition
DLP™ technology. Unlike previous, single-chip implementations of DLP, no color wheel is
used. This reduces mechanical complexity and compromises to color spectrum purity. The
Vision 90t/100t is enhanced further by significant horizontal and vertical lens shift capability
for maximum installation flexibility.
This technology is integrated into a specially designed light engine developed by Vidikron
engineers to provide the perfect blend of high-quality image reproduction and extremely
high light output. As a result, the Vision 100 produces an amazing 3500 ANSI lumens of light
output (CSMS™ light output of 78.5 ft-Lamberts). The Vision 90 produces an impressive 2250
ANSI lumens of light output (CSMS™ light output of 45.3 ft-Lamberts).
The Vision 90t/100t’s 16:9 native aspect ratio Digital Micromirror Device™ (DMD™) array
makes it ideal for widescreen viewing, while its 3-chip, 1280 x 720 native resolution produces
crisp, crystal clear high definition images with richly saturated colors, deep black levels and
natural, highly refined detail.
Vidikron’s exclusive all-digital Imagix™ video processing is integrated into the projector
chassis for the most advanced video scaling and image quality available. This advanced
design provides pure digital connections from input to light engine for absolutely stellar
pictures. In addition, Vidikron’s multiple aspect ratio control includes its unique IntelliWide™
mode for viewing standard video formats in widescreen without loss of image quality.
For uncompromising widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope”
(2.35:1) format, the Vision 90t/100t can be equipped with Vidikron’s patent-pending
CineWide™ with AutoScope™ system, which 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.
THX recommends the use of 720p source material for optimal performance
with this product.
CineWide with AutoScope requires the use of a 2.35:1 or similar aspect ratio
superwide format screen.
