Vidikron further solidifies its leadership role with the introduction of the Vision 120 Digital
Light Processing (DLP™) Projector. This overachiever combines state-of-the-art, 1920x1080
DLP™ resolution with advanced 3-chip engineering. The results are simply stunning, with
jaw-dropping images that must be seen to be believed!
1.3
Description, Features and
Benefits
Vidikron has taken 1080p performance to a new level with this machine and harnessed the
brightness and contrast capabilities inherent in 3-chip light engine design for a powerful
presentation.
The Vision 120 comes with an external, all-digital signal processor/controller featuring
advanced Imagix™ video processing, superb scaling and aspect ratio control. The Vision 120
is enhanced further by significant horizontal and vertical lens shift capability for maximum
installation flexibility.
The Vision 120’s 16:9 native aspect ratio DMD array makes it ideal for widescreen viewing,
while its 3-chip, 1920 x 1080 native resolution produces crisp, crystal clear high-definition
images with richly saturated colors, deep black levels and natural, highly refined detail.
This advanced design provides pure digital connections from input to light engine for
absolutely stellar pictures. In addition, Vidikron’s multiple aspect ratio control includes its
unique IntelliWide™ mode for viewing standard video formats in widescreen without loss of
image quality.
For uncompromising widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope”
(2.35:1) format, the Vision 120 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 120 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.
Note
Discrete IR and RS-232 control make custom installation seamless, while discrete source and
aspect ratio selection accommodate any automation control system.
The Vision 120 offers these key features and benefits:

Proper installation of your projector will ensure the quality of your display. Whether you are
installing a projector temporarily or permanently, you should take the following into account
to ensure your projector performs optimally.

Installation Considerations
Choose the installation type that best suits your needs: front or rear screen, floor mount or
Installation Type
Table 3-2. Projector Installation Options
Advantages
Front Screen, Floor Mount Installation
• Shares floor space with audience
Considerations
• Easy to set up
• Can be moved or changed quickly
• Easy to access
Front Screen, Inverted Mount (ceiling) Installation
• Does not take up audience space
• Projector is unobtrusive
• Installation is more permanent
• Projector access is more difficult
• Projector cannot be accidentally moved
Rear Screen, Floor Mount Installation
• Projector is completely hidden
• Projector is easily accessed
• Requires separate room
• Installation cost is usually higher
• Usually good ambient light rejection
Rear Screen, Inverted Mount (ceiling) Installation
• Projector is completely hidden
• Requires separate room
• Usually good ambient light rejection
• Installation cost is usually higher
Rear Screen, Floor Mount with Mirror
• Projector is completely hidden
• Usually good ambient light rejection
• Requires less space behind screen than other
rear screen installations
• Requires separate room
• Installation cost is usually higher
In general, minimize or eliminate light sources directed at the screen. Contrast ratio in your
images will be noticeably reduced if light directly strikes the screen, such as when a shaft of
light from a window or floodlight falls on the image. Images may then appear washed out
and less vibrant.

Throw Distance
Throw distance is the distance measured from the front of the projector to the screen. This is
an important calculation in any projector installation as it determines whether or not you
have enough room to install your projector with a desired screen size and if your image will
be the right size for your screen.
➤
You can quickly estimate the throw distance by taking the width of the screen and
roughly how far back the projector should be positioned from the screen in order to project a
focused image large enough to fill the screen.
Estimating Throw Distance
Throw Distance (TD) = Screen Width (w) x Lens Throw Ratio

Other Considerations
Other considerations and tips that can help improve your installation:
➤
•
Keep the ambient temperature constant and below 35°C (95°F). Keep the projector away
from heating and/or air conditioning vents. Changes in temperature may cause drifts in
the projector circuitry, which may affect performance.
•
Keep the projector away from devices that radiate electromagnetic energy such as motors
and transformers. Common sources of these include slide projectors, speakers, power
amplifiers and elevators.
The projection lens is shipped separately from the projector. To install it, proceed as follows:
3.4
Installing the Primary
Projection Lens
1. Using a 2.5-mm hex wrench, loosen the
two hex screws holding the Projector
Front Jewelry in place.
2. Remove the jewelry.
22

assembly into the hole in the lens flange.
Gently push the lens assembly in until it
is seated flush against the flange and the
motor connectors have seated.
Make sure to route the wire harness in its original position and away
from the moving lens stages and Motor Assembly, to prevent unexpected
disconnection or lens damage.

There are several methods for mounting the projector. Depending on your chosen
installation, one method may be more suitable than another.
3.6
Mounting the Vision 120
Floor Mounting (Upright)
In typical front and rear screen installations, the projector can be mounted to a secure and
level surface such as a table or cart. Carts are useful when moving a projector during a
presentation or from site to site. If possible, lock the wheels when it’s in position to prevent it
from being moved during a presentation.
➤
➤
Ceiling Mounting (Inverted)
For fixed installations, and for those that want the projector out of sight or have a limited
space for projector and audience, you can invert the Vision 120 and suspend it from the
ceiling using a specially-designed ceiling mount fixture.
Use only the Vidikron-approved ceiling mount kit designed for your
projector (part number 956-0247-00). Install the mount kit according to
the instructions provided with it.
Note
The projector can also be inverted and placed in an enclosure above and behind the viewing
area. Install four feet on the inside bottom surface of the enclosure on which the projector
can rest. A variety of materials can be used for this purpose (for example, rubber crutch tips
or turntable feet).
Adjusting the Projection
Angle
If the Vision 120 is ceiling-mounted and the screen is significantly lower than the projector,
you can tilt the projector at a slight angle by adjusting the ceiling mount.
➤
If you do this, you may need to shift the image using the on-screen display (OSD) controls, to

When connecting your equipment:
•
•
•
Turn off all equipment before making any connections.

The Vision 120 is designed to receive only digital input signals directly from the companion
VHD Controller/Processor. All signal sources should be connected to the appropriate inputs
on the rear panel of the controller. The signal from the controller is then output to the Vision
120 projector through a DVI-DL (dual-link) cable.
Connecting the VHD
Controller to the Vision 120
You CANNOT connect a signal source with DVI output directly to the
Vision 120. It MUST be routed through the VHD Controller for proper

Configure Lens Motor Trigger
CineWide with AutoScope maintains constant image height independent of the aspect ratio,
while using the full display resolution of the projector. It accomplishes this by moving the
anamorphic lens in front of the primary lens when widescreen material is being viewed.
When the viewer transitions back to 16:9 or 4:3 source material, the anamorphic lens moves
out of the light path.
➤
To configure the lens motor trigger on the VHD Controller for proper AutoScope operation:
1. Project a 2.35:1 aspect ratio test pattern or other image on the screen.
2. Press MENU on the remote control and enter the Service menu passcode.
3. Select Service from the Main menu.
4. Select Triggers from the Service menu.
5. Assign the trigger output to which the lens motor is connected to the Cinema and
IntelliWide 2.35 aspect ratios. This enables the lens motor to move the anamorphic lens
into position (in front of the primary lens) when either aspect ratio is selected.
6. To save the trigger settings, press repeatedly to highlight “Save.” Then, press ENTER.
7. Select the Cinema aspect ratio to move the anamorphic lens into position, if it isn’t
press or repeatedly with no menus visible on-screen.
Adjust the Anamorphic Lens
Adjusting the Horizontal (X) Lens Position:
1. Project a white field on the screen.
➤
2. Loosen the Yaw/X-Adjustment Levers underneath the lens.
3. Slowly move the anamorphic lens into place so that there are no shadows on either side
of the screen:
Too Far Left
Correct position
Too Far Right
4. When the horizontal position is properly set, tighten the Yaw/X-Adjustment Levers to
secure the lens in place.

Adjusting the Height (Y): With the white field still on-screen, loosen the
Height/Y Adjustment T-Screws on either side of the lens. Then, slowly move the anamorphic
lens into place so that there are no shadows on the top or bottom of the screen:
Too Low
Correct position
Too High
When the height is properly set, tighten the Height Adjustment T-Screws to secure the lens in
place.
Pitch (Angle): Next, angle the lens to even out any top-to-bottom pincushion distortion. To
do this, loosen the Pitch Adjustment T-Screws (directly below the Height/Y Adjustment
T-Screws) on either side of the lens to allow it to pivot freely. Then, adjust the anamorphic
lens angle so that the projected image is rectangular:
Correct Lens Angle
Incorrect Lens Angle
The anamorphic lens will almost always be angled with respect to the projector; this is
normal.
Once the proper lens angle has been set, firmly tighten the Pitch Adjustment T-Screws to
secure the lens in place.
There may be some pincushion distortion even after the lens is properly
Note
adjusted, especially at shorter throw distances. If this is the case, Vidikron
recommends that you slightly over-scan the image into the screen frame
area to mask the distortion.

4. When the image geometry appears correct, tighten the Anamorphic
Lens Set Screw (item #10) to secure the lens in place. (When viewed

appear as a tall, narrow oval.)
Focus: Finally, rotate the Focus Ring on the anamorphic lens
to fine-tune the optical focus.

Use the controls in the Picture Menu to calibrate your Vision 120 for optimum picture quality.
Picture
The Vision 120 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.

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 – Ovation Multimedia, Digital Video Essentials or AVIA 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
pattern.

PLUGE patterns vary but generally consist of some combination of black, white and gray
areas against a black background. The example above includes two vertical bars and four
shaded boxes.

Select Contrast and press ENTER or SELECT. Adjust the contrast to a point just below which
the white rectangle starts to increase in size.
Brightness and contrast controls are interactive. A change to one may
require a subtle change to the other in order to achieve the optimum
setting.
Note
Color Saturation: On your external test pattern source, select a color bar pattern like the one

Select Color and press ENTER or SELECT. While looking at the color bar pattern through a
blue filter, adjust the color saturation level until the outermost (gray and blue) color bars
appear to be a single shade of blue:
Tint: Tint or “hue” is essentially the ratio of red to green in the color portion of the image.
When tint is decreased, the image appears redder; when it is increased the image appears
greener. To set the tint, select Tint and press ENTER or SELECT. While looking at the color bar
pattern through a blue filter, adjust the tint level until the cyan and magenta color bars (on
either side of the green bar) appear to be a single shade of blue.
Like the brightness and contrast controls, the color and tint controls are
interactive. A change to one may require a subtle change to the other in
order to achieve the optimum setting.

Overscan: Image Overscan pushes the outside edge of the active picture area of the video
signal out beyond the edge of the display area.
Some television programs are produced based on the assumption that older television sets
may not display the outer edges of the broadcast picture area. Over scan effectively trims
away these inactive, outer edges and enlarges the remaining portion of the image to fill the
display area.
Select from 1% to 10% of Overscan, as desired.
For HDTV, DVDs and other video sources, Overscan is generally not necessary or desirable.
Phase: Adjust the phase if the image from an RGB or Component source shows shimmer or
“noise.” Pixel phase adjusts the phase of the pixel sampling clock relative to the incoming
signal. The effect of this control is similar to that of a tracking control on a VCR.
For best results, use a good test pattern such as a smooth gray consisting of a clear pattern of
black and white pixels, or a similar “half on, half off” graphic image. (You may find that you
can stabilize the image at more than one point. Use either setting in this case.)
For each input, the Vision 120 lets you save image quality settings as presets that you can
recall at a later time. You can create up to four presets per input and resolution. Use the ISF
Presets menu to recall saved image presets, or to save image settings in the “Custom 1” or
“THX” memory location. The currently-selected preset is indicated by a “7” to its left; in the
example shown here, ISF Night is selected.

Gain: Use the Gain controls to correct color imbalances in the bright areas of the image. A
good way to do this is to use a test pattern consisting mostly of solid white areas, such as
an 80 IRE “window” pattern. If the white areas contain traces of red (Pr), green (Y) or blue
(Pr), decrease the Gain for that color.
Offset: Use the Offset controls in the White Balance sub-menu to correct color imbalances
in the dark areas of the image. A good way to do this is to use a test pattern consisting
mostly of dark gray areas, such as a 30 IRE “window” pattern. If the gray areas contain
traces of red (Pr), green (Y) or blue (Pr), decrease the Offset for that color.
Gamma: “Gamma” determines how gray shades are displayed between minimum input
(black) and maximum input (white) for all signals. A good gamma setting helps to
optimize blacks and whites while ensuring smooth transitions for the “in-between” values
utilized in other grays. Unlike “Brightness” and “Contrast” controls, the overall tone of your
images can be lightened or darkened without changing the extremes and all images will
be more vibrant while still showing good detail in dark areas.
In all but the most unusual situations, the appropriate “Color Temp” selection (see below)
will produce accurate colors and a satisfying contrast level. However, it is sometimes
necessary to adjust the red, blue and green gamma curves individually. To do this, select
Gamma from the Display Color sub-menu and use the left- and right-arrow buttons to

Chroma Delay: use the Chroma Delay control to correct a mis-aligned image from a
Composite, S-Video or Component video source. Chroma delay in an image causes color

5Maintenance and Troubleshooting
The lamp should be replaced when it reaches the end of its life (typically 2000 hours), or
sooner if a noticeable degradation in brightness occurs. When you replace a lamp, you
should replace the filters as well.
5.1
Lamp Replacement
For lamp or filter replacement, please contact your nearest Vidikron authorized service
center or Vidikron dealer. Do not attempt to replace the lamp yourself!
The Vision 120 lamp is under high pressure. Handle it with great care at
all times. Lamps may explode if dropped or mishandled.
WARNING
Never attempt to disassemble the lamp casing or dispose of the lamp
casing in any manner other than by returning it to your Vidikron dealer.
If the lamp breaks, leave the area immediately and stay away for at least
30 minutes. Ventilate the room to allow the mercury vapor to disperse.
If you inhale the mercury vapor, see a physician immediately.
1. Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord. Allow the projector to cool down for
approximately 45 minutes prior to removing the lamp assembly for replacement.
2. Loosen and remove the rear Lamp Cover screw.
3. Slide the Lamp Cover in the direction of the arrow
to remove it.
4. Loosen the two, captive lamp assembly mounting
screws using a coin or a large, flat-blade

6Serial Communications
To interface the VHD Controller with a home theater automation/control system or a PC
running terminal emulation software, connect it to your control system or PC as shown in
6.1
RS-232 Connection and
Port Configuration
If you are using a PC to communicate with the VHD Controller:
1. Start a terminal session on your PC using a terminal-emulation program, such as
HyperTerminal.
2. Configure the PC serial port as follows: no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no flow
control. Set the baud rate to 19200, to match that of the VHD Controller RS-232 port.
3. Press <Enter>.You should see a command prompt (>) in the terminal window.
•
•
Commands are in ASCII format and are not case-sensitive; onand ONare equivalent.
6.2
Serial Command Syntax
For a command that takes no parameters, type the command followed by a carriage
return; for example, to turn on the system, type ON<Enter>.
•
•
For a command that takes a parameter, type the command, one or more spaces and the
desired value followed by a carriage return; for example, to switch to the S-Video input,
type SSRC 1<Enter>.
When you enter a valid command, the VHD Controller executes it. When you send an
on/off, input selection, aspect ratio or image preset command, the VHD Controller also
responds with an acknowledgment on the command line. For example, when you issue
the command SAR 2, the VHD Controller responds with Letterboxon the command
line.
•
•
When you enter a misspelled or otherwise invalid command, the VHD Controller ignores it
and responds with Invalid Command on the command line.
When you send a command followed by values outside the valid range for that command,
the VHD Controller ignores it and responds with Invalid Parameter on the
command line.
•
When the VHD Controller receives an OFFcommand, it will not acknowledge or execute
any commands for approximately 90 seconds afterwards. This is to prevent hot re-strikes
of the lamp, which can damage it.

Table 7-1. Vision 120 Specifications (continued)
Brightness and Contrast:
Cinema Standards Measurement System (CSMS)
Specifications
-
Brightness: 58.3 foot-Lamberts (fL)
-
Contrast Ratio: 320:1
These measurements are taken from the projector in a controlled, home
theater environment. All measurements are made to ANSI/NAPM
IT7.228-1997 specifications using the Photo Research PR-650
SpectraColorimeter and Minolta LS-100 Luminance Meter, Video
Essentials test DVD and a 1.3 gain, 72-inch wide screen. The projector is
calibrated to a color temperature of 6,500K and has a minimum of 150
hours of usage.
The foot-Lambert (fL) is the unit of measurement used in commercial
movie theaters to express image brightness at the screen surface. The
Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) specifies 16
fL as the target image brightness for film-based projectors using an
open gate (without film in the projector). More importantly, today
SMPTE specifies 12 fL as the target image brightness in Digital Cinema
theaters. The foot-Lambert measurement is dependent on screen size,
screen gain and projector light output.
Home Theater Calibration Specifications
-
Light Output: 1380 ANSI Lumens
-
Contrast Ratio: 320:1
These specifications are obtained by calibrating the projector as
described above for CSMS measurements.
Industry-Standard Specifications
-
Light Output: 2825 ANSI Lumens
-
Contrast Ratio: 4000:1
These are typical projector brightness and contrast specifications found
in most companies’ sales literature. Vidikron includes these
measurements in its literature to allow for direct comparison with other
manufacturers’ projectors. These measurements are typically taken at
9,000K to 13,000K to get expected performance data when the projector
is used in professional, commercial and industrial displays.
