DLP™ Home Theater Projectors
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 resolution 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 motorized
horizontal and vertical lens shift capability. Vidikron engineers have ensured that
light is efficiently culminated through the implementation of our advanced V2™
technology and have also engineered ISF™ calibration standards into these 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 scaling, 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 custom 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, IntelliWide aspect ratio control, HDMI™
digital video interfaces, and RS-232 communications for seamless integration with today’s latest home
automation control systems.
Vidikron’s revolutionary, award-winning CineWide™ and CineWide™ with AutoScope™ technology options
are available to eliminate useless black bars, filling your entire screen 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
THX®has long been recognized as the
leader in both the finest movie theater
performances and superb home theater
enjoyment. The THX Video Display
Program has established the industry’s

Constant vertical height and full resolution

Black Bars are eliminated.
Black bars = lost resolution
CineWide™ Technology
Conventional Method
2:35:1 image area
How it works:
The video processor anamorphically “stretches” the 2.35:1 image vertically
to completely fill the display’s imaging chips. This allows all pixels to be used.

The anamorphic lens then “stretches” the image width to 2.35:1. Correct geometry is restored,
while 100% of the pixels are now used to maintain full resolution and eliminate black bars.

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 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 superwide 2.35:1, the image simply gets
wider while full screen height is maintained, eliminating black bars.
This is done through an ingenious combination of software, electronics and
precision anamorphic optics. With the AutoScope option, the anamorphic lens 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 and control functions, in addition
to incorporating advanced Imagix™ video processing.
They provide for a pure digital signal path from input to output and reside 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 digital 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 video 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.
