D-ila – Vidikron 60 User Manual
Page 3

Among other benefits this three-chip design eliminates the “flicker” 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 balance.
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-like
high-resolution pictures available, and do so at a price point similar to 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 HDTV
compatibility (with outboard tuner/decoder or satellite receiver) is versatile
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 any
automation control system. The Vision Model 60 is packaged in stunning, Italian
inspired styling and finished in your choice of a Classic White or Graphite 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.
