Going Beyond Home Theater™   
						

							Vision™ Model 140 and Vision Model 150 
Vidikron® leads the industry in high performance 1080p, 3-chip DLP™ technology\
 with our 
flagship line of projectors.
Heading the cast are the Vision™ Model 140 and Vision™ Model 150 LightAmp™ projectors. They bring our most advanced engineering, plus full 1080p re\
solution and 
prestigious THX™ home video certification  — the mark of excellence for high definition 
video display products, together in truly awesome fashion. 
These state-of-the-art overachievers use 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. 
The Vision Model 150 incorporates an astonishing 1.2 kW Xenon lamp to produce\
 our brightest 1080p picture ever, while the Vision Model 140 features a powerful 1.0 kW 
Xenon lamp. Four high-precision zoom lenses are available with broad mot\
orized 
horizontal and vertical lens shift capability. Vidikron engineers have ensured that 
light is efficiently culminated through the implementation of our adva\
nced V2™ 
technology and have also engineered ISF™ calibration standards into t\
hese projectors.
The Vision Models 140 and 150 are furnished with Vidikron’s newest, next-generation, all-digital VHD™ 
Controller, featuring our state-of-the-art Imagix™ video processing, superb sca\
ling, dual HDMI inputs 
with HDCP and the industry’s most advanced aspect ratio control system featuring IntelliWide
®. Also 
included are three 12V triggers and an RS-232 interface for seamless cus\
tom integration with today’s latest 
automation control systems.
Vidikron’s exclusive CineWide™ and CineWide™ with 
AutoScope™ options are also available, which enable a 
CinemaScope™ image without distracting black bars, for 
true 2.35:1 widescreen movie enjoyment at full resolution.

							Vision Model 110 and Vision Model 120 
Vidikron’s Vision™ Model 110 and Vision Model 120 provide today’s highest available resolution —1080p, 
in a 3-chip DLP™ configuration. They have earned the world’s first THX
® video product certification, having 
been specifically engineered to the demanding THX Video Display Program standards, the industry’s 
toughest.
The Vision™ Model 120 features our proprietary Imagix™ video processing\
 in a separate outboard VDP-120 
Controller/Processor while the Vision™ Model 110 features Imagix™ video processing built into its \
chassis. 
This advanced digital video processing produces artifact-free scaling of\
 all video sources — matching 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™ technology.
Both models feature multiple lens options with premium precision optics \
to facilitate a wide range of 
projector installation choices, and offer generous motorized horizontal \
and vertical electronic lens shift 
capabilities. Included are multiple inputs with discrete selection, Inte\
lliWide aspect ratio control, HDMI™ 
digital video interfaces, and RS-232 communications for seamless integra\
tion with today’s latest home 
automation control systems.
Vidikron’s revolutionary, award-winning CineWide™ and CineWide™ with AutoScope™ technol\
ogy options 
are available to eliminate useless black bars, filling your entire scr\
een with ultra high-resolution excitement 
when viewing movies filmed in the 2.35:1 aspect ratio.
Whether you prefer the flexibility of the Vision Model 120’s external Video Controller or the convenience of 
the Vision Model 110’s integrated video processing, the exceptional performance and pristine \
picture quality 
are simply in a league of their own.
Vision Model 110

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 chips. This allows all pixels to be used.

APPEARANCE
CineWide requires the use of a 2.35:1 or similar aspect ratio superwide \
format screen.
Vidikron’s award winning CineWide™ 
and CineWide with AutoScope™ 
technology has created a revolution 
in faithful movie reproduction, 
transforming home theater into home 
cinema.
This proprietary technology provides 
uncompromised widescreen reproduction of movies 
originally filmed in the CinemaScope™ 2.35:1 format. It maintains c\
onstant 
vertical height on the screen just as in a movie theater. When a viewer transitions 
from 1.78:1 (16:9) program material to superwide 2.35:1, the image sim\
ply gets 
wider while full screen height is maintained, eliminating black bars.
This is done through an ingenious combination of software, electronics a\
nd 
precision anamorphic optics. With the AutoScope option, the anamorphic l\
ens is 
motorized and remote controlled. 
With CineWide the projection system is able to use the full pixel array \
on its 
DMD™ imaging chips, thereby producing a 2.35:1 image with enhanced resolution 
and increased brightness. No resolution or image area is lost to useless\
 black bars 
on the top and bottom of the screen that contain no picture information.\
 
						

							VHD™ and VDP-120 Digital Video Controller/Processors with Imagix™
Vidikron’s VHD™ and VDP-120 Digital Video Controller/Processors are sophisticated devices capable of 
providing a full range of video switching duties and projector command a\
nd control functions, in addition 
to incorporating advanced Imagix™ video processing.
They provide for a pure digital signal path from input to output and res\
ide outboard of the projector 
chassis. This provides added flexibility by placing the Controller and\
 its associated input connection 
sources in the equipment rack for easy connectivity. 
A variety of inputs include both RGB/Component and two HDMI with HDCP di\
gital connections. Only one 
digital signal cable is then required for connection to the projector, simplifying installations. Discrete IR, 
serial RS-232 and three 12V triggers are available to handle automation \
interfacing.
Vidikron’s exclusive Imagix™ video processing utilizes refined deinterlacing\
 functions to handle both 
NTSC and ATSC interlaced video signals. The signals are then scaled as required to\
 the native 1080p 
resolution of the projector. Progressive signals are routed directly to the scaling circuitry or vi\
deo output 
as needed, maintaining maximum signal purity.
The VHD is provided with the Vision Model 140 and Vision Model 150. The VDP-120 is supplied with 
the Vision Model 120. The Vision Model 110 integrates all of the Controller/Processor features and \
functionality into the projector chassis.
