Description, Features and
Benefits The all-new Vision 85 DLP Projector and VHD Controller is the most high performance
single-chip DLP™ 1920 x 1080 projection system available. Its performance is so impressive
that the Vision™ Model 85 earns prestigious THX® certification, joining other Vidikron
products as the world’s first to earn this distinction.
The Vision™ Model 85 incorporates a state-of-the-art light engine featuring engineering
advancements for more efficient use of optical light engine design. This includes a
sophisticated color balancing system and the industry’s best gray scale tracking. Vidikron’s
exclusive V2 Aperture Control™ enables an ideal balance between black and white levels for
each individual installation.
Vidikron’s exclusive, all-digital Imagix™ video processing is included for the most advanced
video processing, 1080p scaling, and pristine image quality available. The Vision™ Model 85
offers a broad array of video inputs, including HDMI™. Discrete infrared (IR) and RS-232
control make custom installation seamless, while discrete source and aspect ratio selection
accommodate any automation control system.
For uncompromising widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope”
(2.35:1) format, the Vision 85 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 85 is CineWide with
AutoScope™, an enhanced, remote-controlled motorized version of CineWide.
CineWide requires the use of a 2.35:1 or similar aspect ratio superwide format
screen.
