Introduction
Vidikron, a world leader in the high performance home cinema market, proudly introduces
their latest high-definition digital cinema projector for the home: the Vision 90 Digital Light
Processing (DLP™) Projector.
The Vision 90 is specifically engineered to excel in the more traditionally-darkened home
theater room environment, with outstanding white field uniformity, accurate color palette,
maximum brightness and enhanced contrast performance in demand by avid home cinema
enthusiasts around the world.
The Vision 90 produces an amazing 2250 ANSI lumens of light output (CSMS™ light output of
45.3 ft-Lamberts). The Vision 90’s 16:9 native aspect ratio Digital Micromirror Device™
(DMD™) array makes it ideal for widescreen viewing, while its three-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.
Unlike previous, single-chip implementations of DLP, no color wheel is used. This reduces
mechanical complexity and compromises to color spectrum purity. The Vision 90 is
enhanced further by significant horizontal and vertical lens shift capability for maximum
installation flexibility.
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.
Discrete IR and RS-232 control make custom installation seamless, while discrete source and
aspect ratio selection accommodate any automation control system.
