2 Vidikron Vision Model 110 Owner’s Operating Manual
Introduction
Vidikron further solidifies its leadership role with the introduction of the Vision 110 Digital
Light Processing (DLP™) Projector. This overachiever combines state-of-the-art, 1080p DLP™
resolution with advanced 3-chip engineering. The results are simply stunning, with
jaw-dropping images that must be seen to be believed!
Vidikron has taken 1080p performance to a new level with this machine and harnessed the
brightness and contrast capabilities inherent in 3-chip light engine design for a powerful
presentation.
The Vision 110 is equipped with an all-digital signal processor/controller featuring advanced
Imagix™ video processing, superb scaling and aspect ratio control. The Vision 110 is
enhanced further by significant horizontal and vertical lens shift capability for maximum
installation flexibility.
Y
The Vision 110’s 16:9 native aspect ratio DMD array makes it ideal for widescreen viewing,
while its 3-chip, 1920x1080 native resolution produces crisp, crystal clear high-definition
images with richly saturated colors, deep black levels and natural, highly refined detail.
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 110 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 110 is CineWide with
AutoScope™, an enhanced, remote-controlled motorized version of CineWide.

• Do not mix an old battery with a new one or different types of batteries.
• If you will not use the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid
damage from battery leakage.
• Make sure that there is nothing obstructing the infrared beam between the remote
control and the IR receiver on the projector.
• If the effective range of the remote control decreases, or it stops working, replace the
batteries with new ones.
• The remote control may fail to operate if the infrared remote sensor is exposed to bright
sunlight or fluorescent lighting.
• Ambient conditions may possibly impede the operation of the remote control. If this
happens, point the remote control at the projector, and repeat the operation.
