6.1 
RS-232 Connection and 
Port Configuration
To interface the Vision 65/75 with a home theater automation/control system or a PC 
running terminal emulation software:
1. Connect it to your control system or PC as shown in Figure 3-14. 
2. Start a terminal session on your PC using a terminal-emulation program, such as 
HyperTerminal. 
3. Configure the RS-232 controller or PC serial port as follows: no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop 
bit and no flow control. Set the baud rate to 19200. 
4. Type a command from among those listed in Table 6-1. For example, to select the 
Component 1 input, type X133X. Do not send a carriage return after the command.
6.2 
Serial Command Syntax
Serial commands to the Vision 65/75 take the following form:
 Commands are in ASCII format.
 Commands must be in UPPERCASE; for example, X001X, not x001x.
 When you send a valid command, the Vision 65/75 executes it and echoes the command 
back to the PC or control system. For example, when you send the command X001X, the 
Vision 65/75 responds with X0_001X. 
 When you enter an invalid command, the Vision 65/75 simply ignores it.
6Serial Communications
The Vision 65/75 will not accept serial commands for 20 seconds after it is 
turned on or off.

Brightness and Contrast: Cinema Standards Measurement System (CSMS) 
Specifications – Vision Model 65 Series
- Brightness*: 13.6 to 19.6 foot-Lamberts (fL)
- Contrast Ratio*: 200:1 to 220:1
Cinema Standards Measurement System (CSMS) 
Specifications – Vision Model 75 Series
- Brightness*: 14.8 to 21.7 foot-Lamberts (fL)
- Contrast Ratio*: 200:1 to 230:1
*Variable depending on VAC setting
These measurements are taken from the projector in a 
controlled, home theater environment. All measurements are 
made to ANSI/NAPM IT7.228-1997 specifications using the 
Photo Research PR-650 SpectraColorimeter and Minolta LS-100 
Luminance Meter, Video Essentials test DVD and a 1.3 gain, 
72-inch wide screen. The projector is calibrated to a color 
temperature of 6,500K and has a minimum of 150 hours of 
usage.
The foot-Lambert (fL) is the unit of measurement used in 
commercial movie theaters to express image brightness at the 
screen surface. The Society of Motion Picture and Television 
Engineers (SMPTE) specifies 16 fL as the target image brightness 
for film-based projectors using an open gate (without film in the 
projector). More importantly, today SMPTE specifies 12 fL as the 
target image brightness in Digital Cinema theaters. The 
foot-Lambert measurement is dependent on screen size, screen 
gain and projector light output.
Home Theater Calibration Specifications – Vision 
Model 65 Series
- Light Output: 436 to 541 ANSI Lumens
- Contrast Ratio*: 200:1 to 220:1
Home Theater Calibration Specifications – Vision 
Model 75 Series
- Light Output: 451 to 589 ANSI Lumens
- Contrast Ratio*: 200:1 to 230:1
These specifications are obtained by calibrating the projector as 
described above for CSMS measurements. 
Industry-Standard Specifications – Vision Model 65 Series
- Light Output: 1150 ANSI Lumens
- Contrast Ratio: 3000:1
Industry-Standard Specifications – Vision Model 75 Series
- Light Output: 1290 ANSI Lumens
- Contrast Ratio: 11,000:1
These are typical projector brightness and contrast 
specifications found in most companies’ sales literature. 
Vidikron includes these measurements in its literature to allow 
for direct comparison with other manufacturers’ projectors. 
These measurements are typically taken at 9,000K to 13,000K to 
get expected performance data when the projector is used in 
professional, commercial and industrial displays.

Estimated Lamp Life: 2000 hours
Video Inputs: (1) Composite Video, (1) S-Video, (1) RGB/Component Video
