Introduction to the Vidikron Vision Model 80 D-ILA™ Projector
Vidikron presents the highest resolution home theater video available today. The Vision™ Model 80 employs advanced
D-ILA™ (Direct Drive Image Light Amplifi er) technology and boasts a native resolution of 1920 x 1080 – over six million
pixels.
This exciting technology is capable of producing the most natural, smooth images available in digital projection. Tre-
mendous detail, richly saturated colors and outstanding black level reproduction are hallmarks of the Model 80.
Vidikron’s incorporation of three D-ILA chips result in exceptionally low noise without the fl icker and “rainbow eff ect”
that often plague one-chip digital video display devices. Vidikron engineers have also paid careful attention to accu-
rate gray scale tracking and true 6500K color reproduction capability. Together, all of these engineering achievements
produce the most pleasing and fi lm-like high resolution pictures imaginable.
With 1050 ANSI lumens of light output (CSMS™ Light Output of 18.1 ft-Lamberts) and a 2100:1 contrast ratio, the Mod-
el 80 off ers state-of-the-art picture quality on screens as large as eight feet wide. Vidikron’s exclusive Imagix™ video
processing is featured in a separate outboard controller/processor that scales signals from 480i to 1080i to the Model
80’s native 1080p resolution, transforming any source into stunning high defi nition resolution.
In addition, Vidikron’s discrete multiple aspect ratio control, as well as discrete IR and RS-232 control make custom instal-
lation seamless, while discrete source selection accommodates any automation control system.
