Congratulations on your purchase of a Vidikron Vision Model 90t or Model 100t (“Vision
90t/100t“) Digital Light Processing (DLP™) Projector, among the world’s first THX Certified,
1.3
®
Description, Features and
Benefits
high-definition home theater projectors.
THX recommends the use of 720p source material for optimal performance
with this product.
Note
The Vision 90t/100t has been specifically engineered to produce high performance video in
the kinds of environments most people use to enjoy their entertainment. Most high-end
video projectors are intended for use in dedicated home theater environments with
controlled lighting. However, many people prefer to have their entertainment systems in the
rooms they use for everyday living.
Vidikron has responded by creating the Vision Model 90t and Model 100t. The Vision
90t/100t produces very high quality, high-resolution pictures even in rooms with plenty of
light. The result is a plasma-like picture on a very large screen, even in daylight, with drapes
open and lights ablaze!
Vidikron has accomplished this by incorporating the most advanced 3-chip, high definition
DLP™ technology. Unlike previous, single-chip implementations of DLP, no color wheel is
used. This reduces mechanical complexity and compromises to color spectrum purity. The
Vision 90t/100t is enhanced further by significant horizontal and vertical lens shift capability
for maximum installation flexibility.
This technology is integrated into a specially designed light engine developed by Vidikron
engineers to provide the perfect blend of high-quality image reproduction and extremely
high light output. As a result, the Vision 100 produces an amazing 3500 ANSI lumens of light
output (CSMS™ light output of 78.5 ft-Lamberts). The Vision 90 produces an impressive 2250
ANSI lumens of light output (CSMS™ light output of 45.3 ft-Lamberts).
The Vision 90t/100t’s 16:9 native aspect ratio Digital Micromirror Device™ (DMD™) array
makes it ideal for widescreen viewing, while its 3-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.
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.
For uncompromising widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope”
(2.35:1) format, the Vision 90t/100t can be equipped with Vidikron’s patent-pending
CineWide™ with AutoScope™ system, which 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.
CineWide with AutoScope 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.

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

screen, you can shift the image up to 43.20 inches (1.10 meters) below the screen center.
(Upward vertical lens shift is not possible. Vertical lens shift is not possible in either direction
with lens option 5.)
allow up to 10% of horizontal lens shift in either direction (left or right). For example, with a
96 x 54-inch (16:9) screen, you can shift the image up to 9.60 inches (24.38 cm) left or right of
the screen center. (Horizontal lens shift is not possible with lens option 5.)
1. With no vertical or horizontal lens shift, the lens center and screen
center are aligned with each other.
Note
2. Vertical shift limits are percentages of the screen height. Horizontal
shift limits are percentages of the screen width.
3. Vertical lens shift figures apply to ceiling mount configurations.
For floor installations (where the projector is upright), reverse the
up/down vertical offset percentages.
In rear screen applications where space behind the projector is limited, a mirror may be used
be accurately set. If you are considering this type of installation, contact your dealer for

Other considerations and tips that can help improve your installation:
Other Considerations
•
•
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.

If you are installing a Vision 90t/100t with the optional CineWide or CineWide with
AutoScope system, install the secondary anamorphic lens in accordance with the
instructions provided with the lens installation kit.
3.4
Installing the Optional
CineWide Lens
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
90t/100t
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 90t/100t 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. 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 90t/100t 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

Proceed as follows to connect the Vision 90t/100t to your video sources, external
controller(s) – if present – and AC power.
3.6
Connections to the Vision
90t/100t
When connecting your equipment:
•
•
•
Turn off all equipment before making any connections.
Use the correct signal cables for each source.
Ensure the cables are firmly connected. Tighten the thumbscrews on connectors that
have them.
To access the connector panel, press the
large, black door release button so it pops
out. Then, turn the knob clockwise or
counter-clockwise and pull gently on it to
open the door.
Connector Panel Access
Connect your video sources to the Vision 90t/100t as shown and described in the sections
that follow.
Connecting the Vision
90t/100t to Source
Components
Use the DVI inputs whenever possible. This ensures the highest video
quality because the signal is carried in the digital domain throughout the
entire signal path, from source component output into the projector.

Color
All signal types require separate processing. Therefore, you need to calibrate each input
separately.
The Vision 90t/100t 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.

Select Color and press ENTER. 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. 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

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.
For each input, the Vision 90t/100t 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

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.
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 “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
manipulate the on-screen slidebars.

Lamp Power: Select Lamp Power from the Display Color Menu to adjust the lamp output
level. You can choose to run the lamp as bright as possible (“1”; this is the default setting)
or you can choose the lower setting (“0”). Generally, lower lamp output can prolong the
life of the lamp, but decreases brightness.
Color Temp: Select Color Temp from the Display Color menu to adjust the color
temperature. The default setting is appropriate for most situations. Higher settings
produce a “bluer” picture.
but are accessible only by entering the Calibration menu passcode. This makes it possible to
restore the picture quality settings to what they were when the projector was installed,
simply by recalling the “ISF Night” preset.

also saved independently for each input.
•
•
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
shifts to occur to the left of the vertical edge transitions, producing artificial shadows or a
“halo” effect. If necessary, adjust this setting to eliminate them.
•
•
Phase: Adjust the phase if the image (usually from an RGB 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 notice
that you can stabilize the image at more than one point. Use either setting in this case.)
Noise Filter: To apply noise filtering to the input signal, select Noise Filter from the Input
Color menu. The Noise Filter is useful for clearing up noisy images from 480i video
sources.
Use the left- or right-arrow buttons to select the desired amount of noise reduction,
keeping in mind that higher settings (which reduce high frequencies) may also “soften”
the image.
Save ISF Settings: Whenever you make a change to the ISF settings, you should always save
it. Select Save ISF Settings from the ISF Calibration menu to do this. In the event you ever

Remote Control: The Remote Control menu shows you the primary and secondary infrared
(IR) codes to which the Vision 90t/100t will respond. By default, both are set to 17. You can
change these codes if either:
•
Another device in the theater (a DVD player, for example) is responding to commands
from the Vision 90t/100t remote control in ways that are unpredictable or undesirable.
•
You have multiple Vision 90t/100t 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.
Use the rear-panel keypad to change a projector IR code. Then, change the
code sent by the remote to match as described below.
Tip
Do not change the “Type” setting in this menu.

press MENU. Choose one of the following:
0 = No transition; menus abruptly appear and disappear.
1 = Menus fade in and out.
2 = “Checkerboard” dissolve; menus appear and disappear in sections.
3 = “Window shade” effect; menus are drawn on a diagonal from top left to bottom right,
and retract in the opposite direction.
•
•
Timeout - Short/Long: These settings control how long the OSD menus stay on screen.
Select a time-out period of from 2 to 60 seconds.
Side Bar Color: This controls the color of the inactive image area. The range is from -100
(black) to 100 (white).
The inactive image area is on either side of the active image area when using the Standard
4:3 aspect ratio, and above and below the active image area when using the Letterbox
aspect ratio.
•
Film Mode: Enable Film Mode to smooth out moving images from interlaced,
standard-definition (SD) sources. In most cases, the Vision 90t/100t detects the proper
“pull-down” rate and vertical frequency. However, if your source is jittery and/or tearing
you may wish to enable Film Mode to ensure stable processing for that source.

If you need to remove the lens – either to replace it or to prepare the projector for shipment –
proceed as follows:
5.2
Lens Replacement
Only trained, authorized Vidikron dealers should attempt to
remove or replace a lens. Please read this procedure carefully
before doing so.
Note
Lens replacement is normally performed at the Vidikron factory. Field
replacement of lenses is generally only required if the projector is
re-installed in a new location or the lens has been damaged.
1. Power down the projector and wait five minutes to allow the lamp to cool.
2. Remove the secondary anamorphic lens, if present.
3. Loosen the two, captive Phillips screws at the
top and bottom of the front lens decorative
bezel. Then, remove the bezel.
4. Using the 3.0-mm hex driver provided with
the projector, loosen the three Allen screws
on the outer ring of the lens assembly.
5. Gently pull the lens assembly straight out to
remove it.

6Serial Communications
To interface the Vision 90t/100t 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
Configure the RS-232 controller or 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 Vision 90t/100t RS-232
port.
Serial commands to the Vision 90t/100t take the following form:
6.2
Serial Command Syntax
•
•
Commands are not case-sensitive.
For a single command that takes no parameters, type the command followed by a
carriage return; for example, to set the aspect ratio to Letterbox, type
LETTERBOX <Return>.
•
•
For a single command that takes a parameter, type the command, a space or a comma
and the desired value followed by a carriage return; for example, to set the brightness to
-10, type BRIGHTNESS -10 <Return>or BRIGHTNESS,-10 <Return>.
You can also send a string of multiple commands on a single line, separated by commas.
For example, COMPOSITE,BRIGHTNESS 100,ANAMORPHIC <Return>switches to
the Composite video input, sets the brightness to 100 and sets the aspect ratio to
Anamorphic. Command strings can be up to 255 characters long.
Avoid combining the ONor POWER 1commands with other commands on a
Note
single line. After sending ONor POWER 1, allow at least 15 seconds for the
projector to power up. Once it does, it will accept and properly execute
multiple serial commands.
Table 6-1 lists the RS-232 command set. The “Parameter (min/max)” column shows the valid
parameter ranges, or “NA” for commands that take no parameters.
When you enter a valid command, the Vision 90t/100t executes it and acknowledges it with a
plus sign on the command line (+ >). When you enter an invalid command – one that is
misspelled or followed by values outside the valid range for that command – the Vision
90t/100t ignores it and returns a minus sign (- >).

Contrast Ratio:
-
258:1 (Vision Model 90t);
228:1 (Vision Model 100t)
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.

AVision 90t/100t Color Gamut Adjustment
Only ISF-trained and -certified technicians should attempt this
procedure!
Note
For most applications, the Display Color controls in the Calibration menu are adequate for
producing accurate and realistic colors from a variety of sources.
In rare cases, though, you may need more precise control over the Vision 90t/100t display
color gamut (range). For example, you may require a unique color gamut for a given projector
or application. In such cases, you can access the Vision 90t/100t’s color gamut controls via
serial commands. This enables you to define the precise hue of each primary color component
(white, red, green and blue) used to generate the millions of colors produced in displays. You
do this by specifying x and y coordinates for each primary color component.
The x and y coordinates for each color define its location on the standard CIE chromaticity
(International Commission on Illumination), the organization responsible for color
measurement and management standards.)

Changing either or both of these numbers changes the hue of the color and relocates the
“triangle” for possible colors. For example, changing the x/y coordinates for red moves the
color closer to either orange or violet, which in turn affects all displayed colors having a red
component.
