    Description, Features and 
    Benefits
    The Vidikron Vision™ 70 is our most affordable new 1080p projector. It has been designed to 
    deliver the highest level of performance with expanded installation flexibility. The 
    1920
     x 1080 native resolution DLP™ light engine incorporates all-new technology that works 
    with our exclusive Imagix™ video processing to deliver amazing, ultra high definition images. 
    Contrast ratio and dynamic range extend to new heights with Vidikrons exclusive V² 
    Aperture Control™ (VAC), an electronically-controlled iris system. 
    The standard Vision 70 is equipped with a precision optics package offering power zoom, 
    focus and lens shift controls and a throw range of 1.58:1 to 1.90:1. 
    The Vision 70s illumination system incorporates Vidikrons exclusive DualV Stage 
    Illumination™ (DVSI™), which provides two light intensity levels to allow maximum flexibility 
    for screen size, ambient light conditions, brightness and contrast balance, and lamp life 
    preservation. It also has a newly refined cooling system, which increases efficiency and 
    reduces noise levels.
    The Vision 70 has been engineered to comply with Imaging Science Foundation™ (ISF) 
    standards for maximum home theater image quality. Vidikrons sophisticated parameters for 
    white balance and color gamut control have also been implemented for precise balance of 
    gray scale and color. The Vision 70 incorporates Vidikron-proprietary de-interlacing 
    technology that provides exceptional scaling and film-to-video (3:2 pull-down) conversion 
    for the most artifact-free images possible. 
    For uncompromising widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope” 
    (2.35:1) format, the Vision 70 can be equipped with Vidikron’s patent-pending CineWide 
    technology, a combination of software, electronics and high-quality anamorphic optics. 
    CineWide maintains constant vertical height on the screen just as in a movie theater. When a 
    viewer transitions from 1.78:1 (16:9) program material to 2.35:1, the image simply gets wider 
    while full height is maintained. Also available with the Vision 70 is CineWide with AutoScope, 
    an enhanced, remote-controlled version of CineWide. 
    Discrete IR and RS-232 control make custom installation seamless, while discrete source and 
    aspect ratio selection accommodate any automation control system. 
    CineWide requires the use of a 2.35:1 or similar aspect ratio superwide format 
    screen.Note

    1.HDMI (Digital) 
    HDCP-compliant digital video input for connecting a DVD player or HD tuner with a DVI 
    or HDMI output.
    2.(For future use) 
    DO NOT USE THIS CONNECTOR. Although it looks like a DVI input, it does not function 
    like one and cannot be used as an additional video input. 
    3.COMP 1 (RCA connectors) 
    Standard Definition (480i/576i) Component (YPrPb) input. This is the input for 
    component video from sources such as DVD players.
    4.COMPOSITE VIDEO INPUT 
    Standard composite video input for connecting a VCR, laser disc player or other 
    composite video source.
    5.S-VIDEO  
    A standard S-Video input for connecting a DVD player, satellite receiver or Super VHS 
    (S-VHS) VCR. 
    6.RS-232 CONTROL PORT 
    A female, RJ-11 connector for interfacing with a PC or home theater automation/control 
    system. 
    7.12-VOLT (250 mA) TRIGGER OUTPUT (3.5-mm, mini phono jack)  
    Connection for a 12-volt trigger-controlled device. This can be a retractable screen, 
    screen mask or the Vidikron CineWide with AutoScope system. 
    8.COMP 2 / RGB 
    Five BNCs for connecting either RGB or component (YPbPr) high-definition television 
    signals. (The Vision 70 automatically detects the signal format.) 
    2.3 
    Built-In Keypad
    To control the projector when signals 
    from a remote control cannot reach it, 
    use the built-in keypad next to the 
    connector panel.
    Because the built-in keypad has fewer 
    keys than the remote keypad, certain 
    projector functions are accessible only 
    through the menu system rather than via 
    a direct key.
    For best results, do not run your DVD player in progressive mode.Tip
