Vidikron Projector Vision Model 80 Specifications

							
Vision™ Model 60 & Model 80
D-ILA™ Home Theater Projectors
Going Beyond Home Theater™   
						

							
Vidikron raises the bar once again in high quality, home theater video performance 
with the Vision™ Model 60 and Model 80. Vidikron engineers have designed these 
products with the unique implementation of D-ILA® (Direct Drive Image Light Amplifier) 
light engines – an advanced type of LCoS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon)\
 technology. These 
remarkable projectors are capable of producing some of the most natural,\
 film-like 
images yet available in front digital projection, featuring razor sharp \
image detail, richly 
saturated colors and outstanding black level reproduction.
The Vision Model 60 
The Vision Model 60 incorporates three separate high definition 1400 x 788 \
(16:9) D-ILA 
chips within the light engine – one each for the primary red, green a\
nd blue segments.    
						

							
Among other benefits this three-chip design eliminates the “flick\
er” or  
“rainbow effect” that often plague less costly to produce one-chip\
 digital  
video display devices.   
The result is a picture with exceptionally low noise and precise color b\
alance.  
Vidikron’s engineers have also paid careful attention to accurate gray scale 
tracking and true 6500K color reproduction capabilities. Combined, these\
 
engineering achievements produce some of the most pleasing and film-li\
ke  
high-resolution pictures available, and do so at a price point similar t\
o many 
single chip models.
With 1000 ANSI lumens of light output (CSMS™ Light Output of 17.9 ft-Lamberts) 
and a 1500:1 contrast ratio, the Model 60 provides for state-of-the-art \
image 
quality on screens as large as eight feet wide. Vidikron’s outstanding Imagix™ 
video processing with advanced 3:2 film detection circuitry and full H\
DTV 
compatibility (with outboard tuner/decoder or satellite receiver) is v\
ersatile 
enough to handle every video source.
In addition to Vidikron’s discrete source and multiple aspect ratio control, discrete 
IR and RS-232 control make custom installation seamless, accommodating a\
ny 
automation control system. The Vision Model 60 is packaged in stunning, Italian 
inspired styling and finished in your choice of a Classic White or Gra\
phite chassis 
to blend seamlessly with any decor.
D-ILA
™
 
Advanced Three-Chip Engine Designs
In today’s digital video display devices, 
small picture elements (pixels) comprise the 
complete video picture. The Vision Model 60 
and Model 80’s D-ILA® (Direct Drive Image 
Light Amplifier) light engines are high-speed, 
vertically aligned liquid crystal on silicon 
microchip engineering marvels.
Unlike other digital imaging 
solutions, the D-ILA reflective 
technology features very tight 
“gating”  —  the space between each 
individual pixel element. This results in a 
93% screen fill factor and the elimination 
of the “grid” or “screen door effect” often 
evident in other digital display technologies.
This results in images as breathtaking 
and natural as film itself, with true-to-life 
reproduction of the original source. This 
technology enables you to “sit even closer” 
and enjoy all the action  — with richly 
saturated colors and amazing 3-dimensional 
image detail in full high definition glory.  
						

							
The Vision Model 80 Projector and  
VDP-80 Digital Video Controller/Processor
Presenting our new vision of the state-of-the-art — Vidikron’s 
Vision Model 80 home theater ensemble, featuring the  
highest resolution home theater video projection system  
available today  — 1080p.
Your reference home theater picture has never looked sharper 
and more natural, compliments of the Vision Model 80’s three 
chip 1920 x 1080 D-ILA light engine. Whether watching today’s 
DVD’s or the highest definition sources available now and into 
the future, the Vision Model 80 is ready when you are.  
						

							
Vision™ Model 80
The Vision Model 80 employs advanced, next generation D-ILA™ (Direct Drive Image 
Light Amplifier) technology that boasts a native resolution of 1920 x\
 1080   —  over six 
million pixels. This exciting technology is capable of producing some of\
 the smoothest 
images yet available in front digital projection systems. 
Tremendous detail, richly saturated colors and outstanding black level re\
production 
are hallmarks of the Vision Model 80.  The incorporation of three D-ILA chips results in 
exceptionally low noise and accurate gray scale tracking, without the ar\
tifacts that often 
plague other engine designs.   
						

							
The Vision Model 80 features 1050 ANSI lumens of light output (CSMS™ Light Output of 
18.1 ft-Lamberts) and a 2100:1 contrast ratio  — performance that enables state-of-the-art 
picture quality on screens as large as eight feet wide.  
Vidikron’s discrete source and multiple aspect ratio control, as well as discrete\
 IR and
RS-232 control, make custom installation seamless while accommodating to\
day’s most 
advanced automation systems. The beautiful Vision Model 80 is packaged in elegant, 
Italian inspired styling and finished in a two-toned Classic White or \
Graphite Grey chassis 
to complement your custom home theater installation.
VDP-80 Digital Video  
Controller  / Processor
Included with the Vision Model 80 is the VDP-80 Digital Video Controller/Processor. The VDP-80 is a separate outboard unit that incorporates Vidikron’s 
exclusive, advanced Imagix™ video processing and scaling capabilities. It handle all signals from 4\
80i to1080i, which it converts to the Model 80’s 
native 1080p resolution, transforming any video source into stunning hig\
h-resolution imagery.
All video source components are connected to the VDP-80, which features \
multiple analog and digital inputs. Because the VDP-80 is an outboard 
chassis, it can be rack mounted with your other home theater system 
equipment, while minimizing the number of connections to the projector. 
This simplifies both installation and future system upgrades.
The Vision Model 80 has been awarded  
“2005 Product of The Year”  
by Electronic House Magazine.
