provided for your safety. When the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for the replacement of the  
obsolete outlet.  
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles and the point where  
they exit from the apparatus.  
11. Only use the attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.  
12. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table specified by the manufacturer or sold with the apparatus. When  
a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus to avoid injury from tip-over.  
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.  
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in  
any way, such as power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the  
apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.  
15. The +12V trigger only outputs 12Vdc signal for triggering. Do not connect to any other power input or output. This could  
cause damage to this unit.  
16. Keep the packing material in case the equipment should ever need to be shipped.  
17. The lamp becomes extremely hot during operation. Allow the projector to cool down for approximately 45 minutes prior to  
removing the lamp assembly for replacement.

The Vidikron Vision™ Model 65 and Model 75 have been engineered for the top quality  
1080p picture performance and installation flexibility heretofore associated with projectors  
costing far more.  
1.3  
Description, Features and  
Benefits  
The Vision 65/75's 1920 x 1080 native resolution DLP™ light engine features state-of-the-art  
technology for bright, pristine, high-definition images at today’s highest available resolution.  
Contrast ratio and dynamic range extend to new heights with Vidikron's exclusive V²  
Aperture Control™ (VAC), an electronically-controlled iris system. The Vision Model 75 takes  
this technology a step further with DynamicBlack™, which analyzes the program material and  
adjusts the iris automatically, in real time to maximize contrast and dynamic range at all  
times.  
The standard Vision 65/75 is equipped with a precision optics package offering zoom, focus  
and lens shift controls and a throw range of 1.88:1 to 2.19:1.  
The Vision 65/75'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 65/75 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 65/75 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 65/75 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 65/75 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.

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.  
3.3  
Installation Considerations  
Choose the installation type that best suits your needs: front or rear screen, floor mount or  
inverted mount. Table 3-2 compares these various installation methods.  
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  
multiplying it by the lens throw ratio; see Figure 3-1. The result of this calculation tells you  
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.

Proper placement of the projector relative to the screen will yield a rectangular,  
perfectly-centered image that completely fills the screen.  
Vertical and Horizontal  
Position  
Ideally, the projector should be positioned perpendicular to the screen and in such a way  
that the lens center is aligned with either the top or bottom edge of the screen area, and  
centered horizontally. See Figure 3-2.

Vertical Lens Shift  
You can use the lens shift (LENS) controls on the projector remote to center the image on the  
screen. Vertical lens shift is generally expressed as a percentage of the screen height, as  
shown in Figure 3-3.

Lens Shift  
(1.0 x H)  
Note: This is a general example of lens shift. Lenses vary in their shift capabilities. No particular lens or  
projector is used in this example.  
Figure 3-3. Vertical Lens Shift (Example Only)  
The Vision 65/75 provides up to 35% of vertical lens shift above and up to 50% of  
vertical lens shift below the screen center. For example, with a 100 x 56-inch (16:9) screen,  
you can shift the image up to 19.60 inches (0.50 meters) above or 28.00 inches (0.71 meters)  
below the screen center.  
1. With no vertical lens shift, the lens center and screen center are aligned  
with each other.  
Note  
2. Vertical lens shift figures are for ceiling mount configurations.  
For floor installations (where the projector is upright), reverse the  
up/down vertical lens shift percentages.

In rear-screen applications where space behind the projector is limited, a mirror may be used  
to fold the optical path, as shown in Figure 3-4. The position of the projector and mirror must  
be accurately set. If you are considering this type of installation, contact your dealer for  
assistance.

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 standard (non-CineWide) Vision 65/75, skip this step and proceed with  
3.4  
Installing the Optional  
CineWide Lens Mount  
If you are installing a CineWide projector equipped with a prismatic  
(Whitney) anamorphic lens, proceed with Installing the Fixed CineWide  
If you are installing a Vision 65/75/CineWide with a cylindrical  
(Rainier II or McKinley) anamorphic lens, proceed with Installing  
If you are installing a Vision 65/CineWide with AutoScope or Vision 75/CineWide with  
AutoScope, proceed as follows to install the AutoScope lens motor.

plate.  
2. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN THE SCREWS.  
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 65/75  
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.  
Floor Mounting (Upright)  
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 65/75 and suspend it from the  
ceiling using a specially-designed ceiling mount fixture.  
Ceiling Mounting (Inverted)  
Use only the Vidikron-approved ceiling mount kit designed for your  
projector (part number 956-0259-00). Install the mount kit according to  
Caution  
the instructions provided with it.  
Tighten all screws securely, but do not over-tighten them. This is  
particularly important when ceiling-mounting a Vision 65/75/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 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.  
Vidikron offers two types of anamorphic lenses for its CineWide projectors: prismatic and  
cylindrical.  
The prismatic 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 cylindrical anamorphic lens has a larger aperture than the prismatic lens. It stretches  
the width of the image to achieve a 2.35:1 aspect ratio with a 1.78:1 display device. Two,  
cylindrical anamorphic lens options are available: Rainier II and McKinley. Although they  
differ in size and throw distance range (refer to Table 3-3), the installation procedure for  
both lenses is similar.  
The Vision 65/CineWide and Vision 75/CineWide are available with either a prismatic or a  
cylindrical anamorphic lens; the Vision 65/CineWide with AutoScope and Vision 75/CineWide  
with AutoScope always use a cylindrical lens.  
If you are installing a CineWide projector with a prismatic lens, refer to Whitney (Prismatic)  
Anamorphic Lens Installation and Adjustment on page 40. If you are installing a CineWide  
projector with a cylindrical lens, continue with the next section.

Attach Lens Mounting Assembly to Lens Motor Carriage Plate:  
1. Remove the two Yaw/X Adjustment Levers (item #8) from the bottom of the Anamorphic  
Lens Holder (item #5).  
2. Place the Anamorphic Lens Holder on top of the AutoScope Carriage Plate (item #7).  
Position the bracket so that the long slot at the bottom of the lens holder is  
perpendicular to the corresponding slots on the carriage plate.  
3. Secure the Anamorphic Lens Holder to the plate using the Hex Bolts/Washers (item #6)  
and Yaw/X Adjustment Levers that you removed in Step 1.  
4. Use the Lens Mounting Screws to attach the Lens Adapter Ring (item #1) to the Pitch  
Adjustment Yoke (item #2); see Figure 3-18. (Use the round, threaded holes on the yoke.)  
5. Use the Height/Y Adjustment T-Screws (item #3), Pitch Adjustment T-Screws (item #4)  
and T-Nuts (item #9) to attach the Pitch Adjustment Yoke and Lens Adapter Ring to the  
Anamorphic Lens Holder. The Yoke should be as close to the primary lens as possible.  
6. Attach the lens to the Lens Adapter Ring by threading it clockwise.

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 65/75 for proper AutoScope operation:  
1. Press MENU on the remote control.  
2. Select Setup from the Main menu and press ENTER.  
3. Use the number buttons on the remote to enter the Setup menu passcode when  
prompted and press ENTER again. Then, press MENU on the remote control.  
4. Select 12-volt Trigger from the Setup menu.  
5. Set the 12-volt Trigger to “Cinema.” This enables the lens motor to move the anamorphic  
lens into position (in front of the primary lens) when the Cinema or IntelliWide 2.35  
aspect ratio is selected.  
6. Select the Cinema or IntelliWide 2.35 aspect ratio to move the anamorphic lens into  
position, if it isn’t already. To do this, press CINEMA or IWIDE 2.35 on the Vision 65/75  
remote control (Figure 2-4).  
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.  
Adjusting the 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.

Adjusting the Geometry:  
1. Input an anamorphic cross-hatch test pattern to the projector.  
2. Unscrew the Anamorphic Lens just enough to allow it to rotate freely.  
3. Grasp the lens by the center ring and rotate the lens until the image is properly  
anamorphic:  
Wrong Position  
Correct Position  
4. When the image geometry appears correct, tighten the Anamorphic  
Lens Set Screw (item #10) to secure the lens in place. (When viewed  
from the front, the rear opening on the anamorphic lens should  
appear as a tall, narrow oval.)

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 Knobs and  
Washers (item #4).  
To avoid clipping the corners of the image, position the anamorphic lens  
as close as possible to the primary lens.

Adjusting the Lens Height (Y):  
1. Project a white field on the screen.  
2. Ensure that the 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:

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

The Vision 65/75 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.

All signal types require separate processing. Therefore, you need to calibrate each input  
separately.  
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.

Picture Memory: For each input, the Vision 65/75 lets you store picture quality settings as  
presets that you can recall at a later time. You can create up to four presets per input and  
resolution, to accommodate changing lighting conditions or viewer preferences.  
To select a picture memory preset, highlight Picture Memory in the Picture Adjust menu.  
Then, press or to select “Custom 1,” “Custom 2,” “ISF Night” or “ISF Day.” When you  
select “Custom 1” or “Custom 2,” any changes to picture quality settings are stored in the  
selected preset.  
1. To store changes to the ISF Night or ISF Day Picture Memory preset,  
select that Picture Memory in the ISF menu (refer to ISF on page 59).  
Note  
You must enter a passcode to access the ISF menu.  
2. The Picture Memory selection you make here is not retained when the  
projector is powered off, then on again. To specify which Picture  
Memory should take effect when the projector is powered on, select it  
in the ISF menu.  
Copy Settings: When you select the “Custom 1” or “Custom 2” Picture Memory preset, you  
can copy the settings from another preset to the selected preset. This gives you a convenient  
starting point for creating a new, custom preset. To do this, select Copy Settings from the  
Picture Adjust menu and press . Then, choose “Custom 1,” “Custom 2,” “ISF Night” or  
“ISF Day.”  
To copy changes to the ISF Night or ISF Day Picture Memory preset, select  
that Picture Memory in the ISF menu (refer to ISF on page 59). You must  
Note

Color: On your external test pattern source, select a color bar pattern like the one shown in  
Figure 4-4. Typical Color Bar Pattern for Adjusting Color Saturation and Tint  
Select Color from the Picture Adjust menu 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 from the Picture Adjust menu 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  
interactive. A change to one may require a subtle change to the other in  
order to achieve the optimum setting.

Overscan: 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. Overscan 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, overscan is generally not necessary or desirable.  
HD & RGB Adjust: Use the settings in the HD & RGB Adjust menu to fine-tune 480p and  
higher-resolution signals for optimum picture quality.  
Auto: Adjusts the phase, frequency and position automatically.  
Frequency: Adjusts the frequency of the signal.  
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 find that  
you can stabilize the image at more than one point. Use either setting in this case.)

Lamp Hours: When you replace the projector lamp (refer to Lamp Replacement on  
page 63), you should also reset the lamp timer. To do this, select Lamp Hours from the Setup  
menu. Press the right-arrow key on the remote to highlight “Yes,” then press ENTER to  
confirm the reset.  
Reset the Lamp Timer ONLY after you replace the lamp. Otherwise, the  
reported “Lamp Hours” will be inaccurate.  
Note  
Do not exceed the recommended lamp life of 2000 hours. An old lamp  
becomes increasingly fragile and prone to sudden failure.  
WARNING  
Fan Mode: Select Fan Mode from the Setup Menu to control the operation of the projector’s  
cooling fan.  
In most cases, the default Fan Mode (Normal) will maintain the correct operating  
temperature. If the lamp frequently turns off due to overheating, or in certain high-altitude  
operating environments, you may need to change this setting to Hi. Altitude or Manual.  
To manually set the fan speed, select Manual and press ENTER. Then, use the on-screen  
slidebar to adjust the speed.  
Background Color: Press the or button to select the image Background Color (black,  
blue or gray). The Background Color appears when no incoming signal is present.  
PIP: To enable or disable the picture-in-picture (PIP) feature, highlight PIP in the Setup menu  
and press or to select On or Off.

VAC: Use the VAC control to increase or decrease the V² Aperture Control setting. VAC lets  
you control the aperture or iris size (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 a lot of ambient light. Use a lower setting for more  
“theater-like” viewing conditions (little or no ambient light).  
12-volt Trigger: Select 12-volt Trigger from the Setup menu to configure the 12-volt trigger  
output.  
Set the 12-volt Trigger to Normal if you want the trigger to activate when the projector is  
turned on (for instance, if the trigger is controlling a retractable screen).  
Set the 12-volt Trigger to Cinema if you want the trigger to activate when the Cinema or  
IntelliWide 2.35 aspect ratio is selected. Choose this setting if your Vision 65/75 is  
equipped with the Vidikron CineWide with AutoScope system.  
V. Correction: To achieve the proper image geometry with the secondary anamorphic lens,  
select V. Correction from the Set Up menu. Then, use the or button to change the  
native aspect ratio of the display, in small increments.  
Amplitude: The Amplitude menu allows you to fine-tune the aspect ratio by compressing it  
horizontally or vertically, in small increments. This can be useful if your projector is equipped  
with an anamorphic lens.  
The Horizontal control adjusts the image width while keeping the height constant. Similarly,  
the Vertical control adjusts the image height while keeping the width constant.  
Auto Off: When using the Vision 65/75 with a computer, use the Auto Off feature to have  
the Vision 65/75 go into standby mode when no source signal is present on the current  
input. (A warning message appears on-screen for approximately eight seconds before this  
occurs.) Select an Auto-Off interval of from five to 30 minutes, in five-minute increments. To  
return to normal operating mode from the Auto Off standby mode, select the input with the  
remote control or operate your computer.  
When Auto Off is disabled, the Vision 65/75 remains in normal operating mode, regardless of  
the presence or absence of an input sync signal.  
1. If the computer is turned off or not properly connected to the Vision  
65/75, the system is set to the off state.  
Note  
2. For instructions on using the computer's power management features,  
refer to the instructions for your computer.

White Balance: To remove any trace of color from the white areas of the projected image,  
select the “Custom 1” or “Custom 2” Color Temperature. Then, choose White Balance from  
the ISF menu and press ENTER.  
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.  
The Gain controls increase or decrease the full-scale input range; the Offset controls shift  
the entire range, resulting in a change in brightness. Figure 4-8 shows how the Gain and  
Offset controls interact with each other.

Generally, higher Gain settings reduce the image contrast; higher Offset  
settings reduce the image brightness.  
Note  
Advanced Options: For more precise control over picture quality, select Advanced Options  
from the ISF menu and press ENTER.  
Image Enhance: The Image Enhance menu gives you options for improving the quality of  
standard-definition, 480i images. (For 480p and higher-definition images, the controls in  
this menu are disabled.) Keep in mind that these controls add frequencies that are not  
present in the original signal, and may make images appear “noisy” if misused.  
DNR: Use the or button to adjust the Digital Noise Reduction (DNR). DNR is useful  
for clearing up noisy images from interlaced SD sources. Adjust as desired, keeping in  
mind that reducing noise (which reduces high frequencies) may also soften the image.  
Detail Enhance: Use the Detail Enhance control to improve the apparent horizontal  
and/or vertical resolution of the image.  
Luma Enhance: Use the Luma Enhance control to improve the apparent brightness of  
the image.  
Chroma Enhance: This control adds chroma (color information) to the input signal and  
can make colors appear more vibrant and saturated.  
Black Threshold: 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.”  
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.

customize the stored color space characteristics. To do this, use the or button to  
select a component color (Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Cyan or Magenta).  
For each component color, you can adjust the following:  
Limit: This slidebar adjusts the intensity – also known as luminance – of a given color.  
Saturation: 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.  
To restore the color space settings to their factory-default values, select Reset to Defaults  
and press ENTER.  
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 65/75 display  
color gamut (range). For example, you may require a unique color gamut for a given  
projector or application.  
The Vision 65/75 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/y coordinates and luminance values for each primary color  
component.  
The x and y coordinates for each color define its location on the standard CIE chromaticity  
graph, shown in Figure 4-9. (CIE stands for “Commission Internationale de l’Éclairage”  
(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.  
To perform these adjustments, you will need a color analyzer (Sencore  
ColorPro 5000 software and ColorPro III sensor, or equivalent).

6Serial Communications  
To interface the Vision 65/75 with a home theater automation/control system or a PC  
running terminal emulation software:  
6.1  
RS-232 Connection and  
Port Configuration  
1. Connect it to your control system or PC as shown in Figure 3-14.  
2. Start a terminal session on your PC using a terminal-emulation program, such as  
HyperTerminal.  
3. 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.  
4. Type a command from among those listed in Table 6-1. For example, to select the  
Component 1 input, type X133X. Do not send a carriage return after the command.  
Serial commands to the Vision 65/75 take the following form:  
6.2  
Serial Command Syntax  
Commands are in ASCII format.  
Commands must be in UPPERCASE; for example, X001X, not x001x.  
When you send a valid command, the Vision 65/75 executes it and echoes the command  
back to the PC or control system. For example, when you send the command X001X, the  
Vision 65/75 responds with X0_001X<CR>.  
When you enter an invalid command, the Vision 65/75 simply ignores it.  
The Vision 65/75 will not accept serial commands for 20 seconds after it is  
turned on or off.

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.
