Vision Model 100t
Vidikron’s flagship Vision™ Model 100t is one of the most remarkable video projectors
available today, with performance so good it is the first video projector to meet THX’s
demanding video specifications, the industry’s most stringent. It was specifically
developed to produce high definition video in a wider variety of today’s increasingly
popular home entertainment environments — family rooms, great rooms, dens and
living rooms.
Most video projectors are typically installed in dedicated, darkened home theater rooms
with controlled lighting, seating and acoustics. However, with today’s increasingly
wide array of entertainment choices — HDTV, video gaming, computing and more —
Vidikron has created an ideal solution for everyone who prefers having the ultimate
entertainment system in the same “great room” used for everyday living.

Vidikron responded to this tough design challenge by creating the Vision Model 100t.
The Model 100t has been engineered to produce high quality, ultra bright pictures even
in rooms with high ambient light levels. The result is often a plasma-like picture on a
very large projection screen, viewable in daylight conditions with drapes open or lights
ablaze!
Vidikron accomplishes this by incorporating advanced 3-chip, high definition DLP™
technology with superior optics and the company’s trademark Imagix™ video processing.
These technologies are combined into a specially designed LightAmp™ light engine.
Vidikron’s engineers developed this breakthrough LightAmp design to produce an
amazing 3500 ANSI lumens of light output (CSMS™ Light Output of 78.5 ft-Lamberts),
LightAmp
™
Your Room with a View
resulting in the perfect blend of high quality image reproduction with extremely bright
light output.
The Vision Model 100t’s 16:9 native aspect ratio DMD™ array makes it ideal for
widescreen movie viewing, while its 3-chip, 1280 x 720 native resolution produces crisp,
crystal clear high definition pictures with richly saturated colors, deep black levels and
natural, highly refined image details.
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 design
provides pure digital connections from input to light engine for absolutely stellar
pictures from virtually any source.
In addition, Vidikron’s multiple aspect ratio control features its unique IntelliWide™ mode
for viewing standard video formats on widescreens without significant loss of image
quality. Discrete IR and RS-232 control, and lens shift capability make custom installation
seamless, while discrete source and aspect ratio selection accommodate today’s
advanced automation control systems.
The Vision Model 100t is available in our Classic White or Graphite Grey chassis to blend
seamlessly within any home decor.
Until now, mounting a front projection system in even a
modestly lit family room was a nearly insurmountable
challenge. Uncontrolled light spray from windows,
skylights and room lamps typically “wash out” a front
projector’s image, making it unwatchable — it simply
vanishes in the room’s higher ambient light levels.
The Vision Model 100’s breakthrough “LightAmp”
technology is the perfect solution for these challenging
environments with high light levels. The projector’s
exceptionally high brightness has the “horsepower” to
produce a spectacular image in many such situations.
In addition, when mated to some of today’s advanced
new screen technologies, the Vision Model 100 can
help achieve brilliant whites, deep black levels and
true-to-life colors for both day and night viewing.
Television shows, video gaming, family photo albums
and movies have never looked so good with a projector.
Equally important, the Vision Model 100 offers
unparalleled installation flexibility, including six lens
options to cover a wide range of projector to screen
distances. In addition, generous vertical and horizontal
electronic lens shift solves extremely complex
installation challenges enabling the projector to be
mounted well off center of the screen. The Vision Model
100 is the perfect solution for today’s real-world home
entertainment enthusiasts.

Vision Model 90t
Our latest high definition digital home cinema projector, the Vision Model 90t,
incorporates a three-chip high definition DLP™ light engine with 1280 x 720 resolution. It
is specifically engineered to excel in light-controlled home theater room environments,
providing outstanding white field uniformity, accurate color palette, maximum
brightness and enhanced contrast performance.
Sharing the same platform as our top-of-the-line Vision Model 100t, the Vision Model
90t incorporates many of the Model 100t’s high performance advantages – including our
proprietary Imagix™ video processing built into the chassis. This advanced digital video
processing technology achieves near high definition image quality even from standard
video sources, in addition to artifact-free scaling of higher video resolutions and formats.
Among the many attributes of the Vision Model 90t, it has been engineered to the
demanding standards of the THX video display program -- the world’s first projector
to be certified by THX. It also meets the Imaging Science Foundation’s™ (ISF) exacting
standards for video fidelity and accurate gray scale tracking, critical in achieving true-to-
life color reproduction and superior gray scale performance.
Four lens options with precision optics facilitate a wide range of projector installation
choices, and include generous motorized horizontal and vertical electronic lens shift
capabilities. Included are multiple discrete inputs, IntelliWide™ aspect ratio control,
two DVI (HDCP compliant) inputs, three IR triggers and an RS-232 interface for seamless
integration with today’s latest automation control systems.

Presenting CineWide™ with AutoScope™, an exciting new widescreen
technology option for the Vision Model 90t and Vision Model 100t digital video
projectors.
Until now, viewing movies presented in the CinemaScope™ 2.35:1 format
has meant the presence of useless black bars on the top and bottom of your
screen. It has also meant a possible loss of resolution because widescreen
digital imaging chips are in the 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio, not nearly as
wide as 2.35:1. Through the magic of CineWide with AutoScope and the use of
an appropriate screen, constant vertical height is maintained, filling the entire
screen area. When you transition from a standard 16:9 (1.78:1) widescreen
aspect ratio to 2.35:1 Cinema, the picture simply gets wider — really wide, just
as you would experience in a quality cinema.
CineWide technology does this through a combination of software, electronics
and remote controlled motorized anamorphic optics, enabling the use of the
entire pixel array of the imaging chips, resulting in no loss of resolution. This
also provides increased brightness because the chips’ entire reflective surface
is utilized.
AutoScope provides a fast, seamless transition between aspect ratios through
a motorized system that automatically positions the anamorphic lens assembly
when the Cinema 2.35 aspect ratio is selected.
Vidikron’s exclusive CineWIde with AutoScope is a technology solution
specifically engineered for your Vision Model 90t or 100t high definition
projector, and Hollywood’s widest presentations.
CineWide and AutoScope technology is the talk of the industry.
