The Vidikron Vision™ Model 20 represents a great value in high performance video projection. As Vidikron’s entry level 16:9 widescreen DLP™ projector, the world-class Model 20 offers the engineering innovations, features and picture quality necessary for upscale home theater applications without breaking the budget.

The Model 20’s 850 ANSI lumens of light output and 1500:1 contrast ratio make it ideal for use in home theaters with recommended screen requirements all the way up to 96 inches wide. The internal video processing with 3:2 film detection circuitry and full HDTV compatibility (with outboard tuner/decoder or satellite receiver) make the Model 20 versatile enough to handle every video source.

Multiple aspect ratio control includes Vidikron’s IntelliWide™ mode for the ability to view standard video formats in widescreen without loss of image quality. Digital keystone correction and discrete IR or RS-232 control make custom installation seamless, while discrete source and aspect ratio selection accommodate automation control systems.

The Vision Model 20 offers a variable throw distance of 1.71:1 to 2.06:1, while an optional lens provides a longer variable throw distance of 2.31:1 to 3.06:1. Both lenses feature a “cat’s eye” optical system that enhances contrast and optimizes black level performance. Add to this a unique 9-point white balance system for superb gray scale tracking and the Model 20 offers stellar images with crisp detail and deeply saturated colors.

The versatile model 20 offers all of the quality expected of a Vidikron product, packaged in an aesthetically pleasing chassis with a very modest footprint.
