Vidikron Vision 150 LightAmp Brochure & Specs

Vision™ Model 150 LightAmp™

DLP™ Home Theater Projector

Vidikron’s Vision™ Model 150 LightAmp™ projector brings our most

advanced technology, plus 1080p resolution and the world’s first THX*

home video products together in truly awesome fashion.

The Vision Model 150 uses a new, ingeniously engineered 3-chip DLP™

light engine, combined with an advanced Xenon LightAmp™ illumination

system to bring astoundingly high performance and ultra high resolution to

the very best home theaters on the planet.

The Vision Model 150 uses a 1.2 kW Xenon lamp to produce our brightest

1080p picture ever. Four high precision zoom lenses are available with broad

motorized horizontal and vertical lens shift capability. Vidikron engineers

have ensured that light is efficiently culminated through the implementation

of our advanced V2™ technology and have also engineered ISF™ calibration

standards into these projectors.

The Vision Model 150 is furnished with Vidikron’s newest, next-generation,

all-digital VHD controller, featuring our state-of-the-art Imagix™ video

processing, superb scaling, and the industry’s most advanced aspect ratio

control system.

Our exclusive CineWide™ and CineWide™ with AutoScope™ options are

also available, to fill the entire screen for true 2.35:1 widescreen movie

enjoyment while preserving every pixel of resolution and eliminating

distracting black bars.

CineWide™ and CineWide with AutoScope™

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 our award winning CineWide and CineWide with
AutoScope technology 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.

While CineWide provides a fixed anamorphic lens, with the AutoScope
option the anamorphic lens in motorized and remote controlled.

Conventional Method

A conventional 2.35:1 image

displayed on a 1.78:1 (16:9) screen.

IMAGE AREA

Black bars = l ost resolution

The video processor anamorphically “stretches” the 2.35:1 image vertically to

completely fill the display’s imaging chip’s. This allows all pixels to be used.

2.35:1 Image on a 16:9 imaging chip

The anamorphic lens then “stretches” the image width to 2.35:1. Correct
geometry is restored, while 100% of the pixels are now used to maintain

full resolution and eliminate black bars.

How it works:

CineWide™ Technology

Constant Vertical height and full resolution

are maintained. 100% of pixels are used.

Black bars are eliminated.
