The Vidikron Vision™ 70 is our most affordable new 1080p projector. It has been designed to
deliver the highest level of performance with expanded installation flexibility. The
1920 x 1080 native resolution DLP™ light engine incorporates all-new technology that works
with our exclusive Imagix™ video processing to deliver amazing, ultra high definition images.
1.3
Description, Features and
Benefits
Contrast ratio and dynamic range extend to new heights with Vidikron's exclusive V²
Aperture Control™ (VAC), an electronically-controlled iris system.
The standard Vision 70 is equipped with a precision optics package offering power zoom,
focus and lens shift controls and a throw range of 1.58:1 to 1.90:1.
The Vision 70's illumination system incorporates Vidikron's exclusive DualV Stage
Illumination™ (DVSI™), which provides two light intensity levels to allow maximum flexibility
for screen size, ambient light conditions, brightness and contrast balance, and lamp life
preservation. It also has a newly refined cooling system, which increases efficiency and
reduces noise levels.
The Vision 70 has been engineered to comply with Imaging Science Foundation™ (ISF)
standards for maximum home theater image quality. Vidikron's sophisticated parameters for
white balance and color gamut control have also been implemented for precise balance of
gray scale and color. The Vision 70 incorporates Vidikron-proprietary de-interlacing
technology that provides exceptional scaling and film-to-video (3:2 pull-down) conversion
for the most artifact-free images possible.
For uncompromising widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope”
(2.35:1) format, the Vision 70 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 70 is CineWide with AutoScope,
an enhanced, remote-controlled 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.

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.

There are several methods for mounting the projector. Depending on your chosen
installation, one method may be more suitable than another.
3.5
Mounting the Vision 70
Floor Mounting (Upright)
In typical front and rear screen installations, the projector can be placed upright on 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 70 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 VIHK-000425, or VIHK-000175 for a Vision
Caution
70/CineWide with AutoScope). Install the mount kit according to the
instructions provided with it.
Tighten all screws securely, but do not over-tighten them. This is
particularly important when ceiling-mounting a Vision 70/CineWide
with AutoScope, because the anamorphic lens and lens motor shift the
center of gravity toward the front of the projector.
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 Projector
Height or Projection Angle
If the screen is significantly higher or lower than the projector, you can also tilt the projector
at a slight angle. In a ceiling installation, you do this by adjusting the ceiling mount.
➤
For a floor installation, turn the four adjustable
feet on the bottom of the projector to adjust
the projector height and/or projection angle.
If you do this, you may need to make keystone
adjustments or vertically shift the image using
the on-screen display (OSD) controls, to
compensate. For detailed instructions, refer to

If you are installing a CineWide-equipped projector, proceed as follows to install and adjust
the CineWide anamorphic lens.
3.11
Installing and Adjusting
the CineWide Anamorphic
Lens
It is extremely important that the primary lens is properly adjusted
Note
before you install the anamorphic lens. Ensure that the image from
the primary lens is perfectly centered on the screen.
The standard Vision 70/CineWide uses a prismatic-style anamorphic lens. This type of lens
compresses the height of the image (as opposed to stretching the width) to achieve a 2.35:1
aspect ratio with a 1.78:1 display device.
The Vision 70/CineWide with AutoScope uses a cylindrical anamorphic lens with a much
larger aperture than the prismatic lens used with the standard Vision 70/CineWide.
If you are installing a Vision 70/CineWide with AutoScope, refer to Anamorphic Lens
installing a standard Vision 70/CineWide, continue with the next section.
The standard Vision 70 Anamorphic lens mount kit consists of everything shown in Figure
3-16. Some components shipped with your projector may differ slightly from what is shown
in these instructions.

1. Use the Pitch/Y-Adjustment Screws and Washers (item #6) to attach the Vertical
Mounting Brackets (item #5) to the Anamorphic Lens (item #1).
2. Place the lens with the brackets installed on top of (or under, if the projector is inverted)
the Base Plate (item #2), so that the two threaded posts at the bottom of the brackets
pass through the corresponding slots on the base plate.
3. Secure the lens assembly to the base plate with the Yaw/Z-Adjustment Levers and Fiber
Washers (item #4).
To avoid clipping the corners of the image, position the anamorphic lens
as close as possible to the primary lens.
Tip

Adjusting the Lens Height (Y):
1. Project a white field on the screen.
2. Ensure that the two Pitch/Y-Adjustment Screws are loose enough to allow vertical
movement of the lens assembly.
3. 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
4. When the height is properly set, tighten the Pitch/Y-Adjustment Screws to secure the
lens in place.
Adjusting the Pitch (Angle): Next, angle the lens to even out any top-to-bottom pincushion
distortion. To do this, loosen the Pitch/Y-Adjustment 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:

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 Screws to
secure the lens in place.

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.
Adjusting the Yaw: Loosen the Yaw/Z-Adjustment Levers to allow the lens to pivot freely
from side to side. Then, angle the lens to even out any left-right pincushion distortion:

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 Vision 70 for proper AutoScope operation:

The Vision 70 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.

best results:
•
External test pattern source -- Ovation Multimedia, Digital Video Essentials or AVIA test

With a 480i signal, you can apply the sharpness control to either the input signal (1), the

Freq. Adjusts the frequency of the signal.
Phase: Adjust the phase if the image (usually from an RGB source) shows shimmer or

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

Note
White Balance: To remove any trace of color from the white areas of the projected image,
•
Gamma: “Gamma” is a global setting that 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 “Gamma 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 White Balance sub-menu and use the left- and right-arrow buttons to
manipulate the on-screen slidebars.
•
•
•
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, green or blue,
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, green or blue, decrease the Offset for that color.
Store Color Temp.4/Store Color Temp.5: When you are finished adjusting the Gamma,
Gain and Offset, select Store Color Temp.4 or Store Color Temp.5 to store your settings. To
recall them, set the Color Temperature to +4 or +5 in the Image Adjustment menu (refer
Gamma Selection: The normal gamma setting of 2.2 is correct for almost all signals and
conditions. If excess ambient light washes out the image and it becomes difficult or
impossible to see details in dark areas, lower the gamma setting to compensate. This will
improve contrast while maintaining good details for blacks. Conversely, if the image is
washed out and unnatural, with excessive detail in black areas, increase the setting. Again,
good gamma improves contrast while maintaining good details for blacks and whites.

color space characteristics. To do this, select the color space to modify. Then, select a
component color (Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Cyan or Magenta).
For each component color, you can adjust the following:
•
•
Intensity: This slidebar adjusts the intensity – also known as luminance – of a given color.
Sat. This slidebar adjusts the color saturation level – the amount of that color in a video
image. Lower settings produce less saturated colors; a setting of “0” removes that color
from the image entirely. If the saturation is too high, that color will be overpowering and
unrealistic.
•
Hue: This slidebar adjusts the red/green color hue for true color reproduction of video
signals. For best results, adjust tint while displaying an external color bars test pattern (see
Figure 4-4). Otherwise, it is recommended that Hue remain at its default setting.
When you have finished customizing the color space, select Store Setting and press ENTER.
Image Over Scan: Image Over Scan 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.
Use the on-screen slidebar to select the desired amount of over scan.
For HDTV, DVDs and other video sources, Image Over Scan is generally not necessary or
desirable.
Video Black Level: This control compensates for incoming elevated black levels present in
certain video signals, and ensures that blacks in the display are neither “crushed” (where dark
grays appear black) nor excessively elevated (where blacks appear dark gray). By default, the
projector automatically determines the best setting according to the type of incoming video
signal:
•
0 IRE: Used for DVD output with “enhanced black,” SECAM, most PAL standards and
Japanese NTSC.
•
7.5 IRE: Used for most NTSC video signals.
For some types of video, you may want to override the setting. Generally, if black appears
crushed when brightness = 30, choose “0 IRE.” If black appears excessively elevated, use
“7.5 IRE.”
(the physical opening through the lens; similar to an “f-stop” on a camera). Doing so allows
you to optimize brightness and contrast according to the amount of ambient light in the
viewing area.
Use a higher setting for rooms with lots of ambient light. Use a lower setting for more
“theater-like” viewing conditions (little or no ambient light).

The secondary IR code is also +20.
You can change the secondary IR code if either:

Another device in the theater (a DVD player, for example) is responding to commands
from the Vision 70 remote control in ways that are unpredictable or undesirable.
•
You have multiple Vision 70 projectors and want to control them independently, as
opposed to broadcasting commands from a single remote to all of them. In this scenario,
you can use multiple remotes programmed to use different IR codes. Or, you can use a
single remote and change the IR code as needed to address a specific projector.
When you change the secondary IR code, the remote sends that code instead of the primary
IR code.
The Remote Control menu is read-only and need not be visible in order to
change the secondary IR code.

Brightness*: 14.8 to 21.7 foot-Lamberts (fL)
Contrast Ratio*: 200:1 to 230:1
*Variable depending on Aperture Control setting
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: 451 to 589 ANSI Lumens
-
Contrast Ratio*: 200:1 to 230:1
These specifications are obtained by calibrating the projector as
described above for CSMS measurements.
Industry-Standard Specifications
-
Light Output: 1290 ANSI Lumens
-
Contrast Ratio: 1550:1 to 3250:1
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.
