Vidikron has introduced the Vision 90, boasting a 3-chip, high-definition DLP engine with a resolution of 1,280 x 720 (720p) that the firm says is specifically engineered for maximum light output in a light-controlled, home entertainment environment. As a direct descendant of the flagship Vision LightAmp 100, the ’90 incorporates many of the same features, including Vidikron’s proprietary, built-in Imagix video processing, which is capable of scaling any standard definition video source up to the projector’s HD native resolution without digital artifacts and “picture grain”.

Vidikron notes that all its projectors are engineered to meet the exacting standards of the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF), allowing installers to properly calibrate the ’90 when accessing advanced white balance and colour range gamut controls.

The Vision 90 is available with a choice of four precision lenses for use with multiple screen widths and in rooms of varying sizes. Each lens offers ample electronic horizontal and vertical shift to compensate for off-centre installations. Vidikron’s IntelliWide technology allows for viewing 4:3 source material in a wider screen format without significant loss of image quality, Vidikron notes.

The projector is also available with Vidikron’s CineWide with AutoScope technology option that properly displays movies filmed in the CinemaScope 2.35:1 aspect ratio. CineWide technology, the firm explains, eliminates the top and bottom “black bars” that are often present in today’s major theatrical DVD releases.

Input connections include a pair of HDCP-compliant DVI inputs, and an RS-232 interface for home automation integration. Light output is rated at a CSMS home theatre calibrated level of 45.3 Foot-Lamberts (fL), with a CSMS calibrated contrast of 258:1 (atypical ANSI contrast 3,000:1).
