    Connection
    Use a standard, 9-pin RS-232 cable to connect a PC or home theater control/automation 
    system (if present) to the RS-232 CONTROL port on the Vision 90; see 
    Figure 3-11. 
    For more information about using this connection, refer to Serial Communications on 
    page 6-1.

    Outputs to External Theater 
    Components
    If your home theater contains other devices that respond to 12-volt triggers (such as 
    retractable screens or screen masks), connect them to the 12-volt trigger outputs as shown in 
    Figure 3-12. 
    Figure 3-12. Connecting 12-Volt Trigger Outputs
    Connecting to AC Power Plug the female end of the power cord into the AC receptacle on the rear of the Vision 90 (AC 
    100V ~ 240V). Then, connect the other end to your AC power source.

    Turning on the Power
    1. Turn on the main power switch on the projector.
    2. Press the ON button on the remote control -- or the POWER button on the Vision 90 rear 
    panel -- to turn on the projector. The vacuum fluorescent display on the Vision 90 rear 
    panel briefly displays “Starting Display.” 
    3. When the projector is ready for use, the fluorescent display indicates the active source, 
    signal format (NTSC or PAL), input resolution and aspect ratio; for example:
     
    4.2 
    Adjusting the Picture 
    Orientation
    By default, the Vision 90 is configured for a “floor/front” installation, in which the projector is 
    installed upright and in front of the screen. If it is installed behind the screen and/or mounted 
    on a ceiling, you must change the picture orientation. To do this:
    1. Press MENU and enter the Service Menu passcode. 
    2. Select Service from the Main Menu. 
    3. Select Display Device from the Service Menu.
    4. Select Installation from the Display Device menu.
    5. Choose Floor/Rear, Ceiling/Front or Ceiling/Rear, to match the installation method.

    4-6 Vidikron Vision Model 90 Owner’s Operating Manual
    Picture  Use the controls in the Picture Menu to calibrate your Vision 90 for optimum picture quality.
    The Vision 90 has been designed to incorporate setup and calibration standards established 
    by the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF). The ISF has developed carefully crafted, 
    industry-recognized standards for optimal video performance and has implemented a 
    training program for technicians and installers to use these standards to obtain optimal 
    picture quality from Vidikron video display devices. Accordingly, Vidikron recommends that 
    setup and calibration be performed by an ISF certified installation technician.
    All signal types require separate processing. Therefore, you need to calibrate each input 
    separately. Vidikron recommends calibrating the Vision 90 inputs in the following order:
    1. Component SD
    2. S-Video 1 / S-Video 2
    3. Composite
    4. HD/RGB 1 / HD/RGB 2
    5. DVI 1 / DVI 2
    Although it may be possible to obtain satisfactory picture quality using the naked eye and 
    regular program material, Vidikron recommends using the following calibration tools for 
    best results: 
     External test pattern source -- Sencore VP401 Multimedia Video Generator, Ovation 
    Multimedia test DVD or equivalent.
     A blue filter (provided with many test DVDs), for color level and tint adjustments.
    Connect your test pattern source to the input that you are calibrating and proceed as follows. 
    Perform the adjustments in the order listed here.
    Brightness: On your external test pattern source, select a PLUGE pattern. (PLUGE is an 
    acronym for “Picture Line-Up Generation Equipment.”) 
    Figure 4-2 shows a typical PLUGE 
    pattern.

    ➤
    When you change a picture quality setting, save the change to a preset 
    afterwards. Otherwise, the change will be lost when a different input is 
    selected. (Picture quality settings are saved for each input and resolution 
    separately.) For information about saving settings, refer to 
    ISF Presets 
    on page 4-10.
