Safety Precautions
Thank you for your purchase of this quality Vidikron video projector! It has been designed to provide you with the quality of video
that is expected in a home theater. For the best performance, please read this manual carefully as it is your guide through the

NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature
accompanying the appliance.
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED
SERVICE PERSONNEL.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Do not use this equipment near water, outdoors or otherwise exposed to the elements.
5. Clean only with a dry cloth.
6. Do not block any ventilation openings.
7. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.
8. Do not defeat the safety feature of the polarized or grounding type plug. A polarized type plug has two blades with one wider
than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The third prong is provided for your safety.
If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for the replacement of the obsolete outlet.
9. The 12V trigger only outputs DC 12V signal for triggering. Do not connect to any other power input or output. This could cause
damage to this unit.
10. Only use accessories specified by Vidikron.
11. Keep the packing material in case the equipment should ever need to be shipped.
12. Unplug this projector during lightning storms or when it will not be used for an extended period of time.
13. 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. Do not operate lamps beyond the rated lamp life. Excessive operation of lamps
beyond rated life could cause them to explode in rare occasions.

The Vision 30 Series DLP Projectors offer the astounding picture quality and versatility
heretofore associated with more expensive projectors. Their 1280 x 720 native resolution
DLP light engine incorporates all-new technology for bright, pristine high-definition images.
1.3
Description, Features and
Benefits
With throw distances of 1.38 – 1.80:1 on the Vision Model 30 and 1.88 – 2.45:1 on the
longer-throw Model 30ET, both units offer the performance and installation flexibility
custom home theater enthusiasts have come to expect from Vidikron — all at a superb price
and packaged with outstanding build quality.
Advanced Vidikron Imagix™ digital video processing is engineered into these all-new
projection systems to achieve improved image quality even from standard video sources, in
addition to artifact-free scaling of higher resolution formats.
The Vision 30'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 30 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.
For uncompromising widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope”
(2.35:1) format, the Vision 30 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.
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
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

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.
The top of the projected image is even with the lens center when the projector is inverted
(ceiling-mounted). Likewise, the bottom of the projected image is aligned with the lens

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.
3.4
Mounting the Vision 30
Floor Mounting (Upright)
Ceiling Mounting (Inverted)
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.
➤
➤
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 30 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
Caution
with it.
If you are mounting a Vision 30/CineWide on a ceiling, refer to the next
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 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 Vision 30/CineWide, proceed as follows to install the CineWide
anamorphic lens base plate.
3.5
Installing the Optional
CineWide Lens Mount
1. Do not install the CineWide lens yet, only the fixed CineWide base
plate. You will install the CineWide lens after you install the projector
and adjust the primary lens.
Note
2. Some components shipped with your projector may differ slightly
from what is shown in these instructions.
To install the fixed CineWide base plate on a Vision 30/CineWide:
1. Place the projector upside down on a blanket or other soft surface.
2. If you are mounting the Vision 30/CineWide on a ceiling:
a Line up the four holes on the projector ceiling mounting plate (included with the
projector ceiling mount kit) with those on the bottom of the projector.
b Line up the two mounting holes on the CineWide base plate with those at the front of
the ceiling mounting plate.
3. Secure the CineWide base plate (and ceiling mounting plate, if needed) to the projector
with the required number of M6 x 1.0mm x 16mm screws: two for the lens base plate
SCREWS SECURELY, BUT DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN THEM.
4. If you are mounting the Vision 30/CineWide on a ceiling: Complete the ceiling mount
installation procedure given in the instructions provided with the ceiling mount kit.

The Vision 30 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.

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: For almost all signals and conditions, the appropriate setting is 2.2 or 2.5.
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.”
Image Shift: The Image Shift menu allows you to precisely center the image on the screen.
(These controls are available only with a 480i source signal.)

Another device in the theater (a DVD player, for example) is responding to commands
from the Vision 30 remote control in ways that are unpredictable or undesirable.
•
You have multiple Vision 30 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

Table 7-1. Vision 30 Specifications (continued)
Brightness and Contrast:
Cinema Standards Measurement System (CSMS)
Specifications
-
Brightness: 12.5 to 19.0 foot-Lamberts (fL)
-
Contrast Ratio: 188:1 to 203:1
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: 400 to 525 ANSI Lumens
-
Contrast Ratio: 188:1 to 203:1
These specifications are obtained by calibrating the projector as
described above for CSMS measurements.
Industry-Standard Specifications
-
Light Output: 1100 ANSI Lumens
-
Contrast Ratio: 1350:1 to 2150:1
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.
