    Description, Features and 
    Benefits
    Vidikron, a world leader in the high performance home cinema market, proudly introduces 
    their latest high-definition digital cinema projector for the home: the Vision 90 Digital Light 
    Processing (DLP™) Projector. 
    The Vision 90 is specifically engineered to excel in the more traditionally-darkened home 
    theater room environment, with outstanding white field uniformity, accurate color palette, 
    maximum brightness and enhanced contrast performance in demand by avid home cinema 
    enthusiasts around the world.
    The Vision 90 produces an amazing 2250 ANSI lumens of light output (CSMS™ light output of 
    45.3 ft-Lamberts). The Vision 90’s 16:9 native aspect ratio Digital Micromirror Device™ 
    (DMD™) array makes it ideal for widescreen viewing, while its three-chip, 1280 x 720 native 
    resolution produces crisp, crystal clear high definition images with richly saturated colors, 
    deep black levels and natural, highly refined detail. 
    Unlike previous, single-chip implementations of DLP, no color wheel is used. This reduces 
    mechanical complexity and compromises to color spectrum purity. The Vision 90 is 
    enhanced further by significant horizontal and vertical lens shift capability for maximum 
    installation flexibility.
    Vidikron’s exclusive all-digital Imagix™ video processing is integrated into the projector 
    chassis for the most advanced video scaling and image quality available. 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. 
    Discrete IR and RS-232 control make custom installation seamless, while discrete source and 
    aspect ratio selection accommodate any automation control system. 
    The Vision Model 90 is available in both a soft white or a graphite gray chassis to blend 
    seamlessly in your home theater environment.
    Key Features and BenefitsThe Vision 90 offers these key features and benefits: 
     Native Resolution: 1280 x 720 (16:9 Native Aspect Ratio) 
     3-chip Digital Light Processing (DLP™) system 
     Two DVI Inputs with High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP)
    HDTV Ready
