Vidikron Projector Vision Model 120 Specifications

							
The new Vision™ Model 120 provides today’s highest available 
resolution —  1080p, in a 3-chip DLP™ configuration. It has earned the 
world’s first THX* video product certification, having been specifically 
engineered to the demanding THX standards.
The Vision™ Model 120 features our proprietary Imagix™ video processing 
in a separate outboard controller/processor. This advanced digital video 
processor produces artifact free scaling of all video sources — bringing HD 
images to the projector’s native 1920 x 1080 resolution, while providing near-
high definition image quality from even standard video sources — a hallmark 
of Vidikron’s remarkable Imagix™ algorithms.
Installers will appreciate the Vision™ Model 120’s wide range of precision 
lens choices to accommodate the most challenging installations, all with 
generous motorized horizontal and vertical electronic lens shift capabilities. 
The projector features discrete input source selection, multiple component 
and HDMI™ digital video interfaces, discrete IntelliWide™ aspect ratio 
control, 12V triggers plus RS-232 control for seamless integration with 
today’s latest home automation platforms.
Vidikron’s revolutionary, award-winning CineWide™ and CineWide™ with 
AutoScope™ options eliminate useless black bars, filling your entire screen 
with ultra high resolution excitement when viewing movies filmed in the 
2.35:1 aspect ratio.

A conventional 2.35:1 image  displayed on a 1.78:1 (16:9) screen.Constant Vertical height and full resolution are maintained. 100% of pixels are used. Black bars are eliminated.
Black bars = lost resolution
CineWide™ TechnologyConventional Method
2:35:1 image area
How it works:The video processor anamorphically “stretches” the 2.35:1 image ve\
rtically to  completely fill the display’s imaging chip’s. This allows all pixels to be used.

CineWide and CineWide with AutoScope requires the use of a 2.35:1 or similar aspect ratio superwide screen.
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 yo\
ur screen. It has also meant a possible loss of resolution because widescre\
en digital imaging chips are in the 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio, not nearl\
y 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 vert\
i-cal height is maintained, filling the entire screen area.  When you tr\
ansition 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 op\
-tion the anamorphic lens in motorized and remote controlled.
