Vidikron Introduces New Vision Series CRT Projector

Vidikron of America, a leader in high-performance video projectors and support components, has introduced the newest member of its highly acclaimed HDTV-compatible Vision Series of CRT Projectors. The new Vision Three Projector is designed to provide home theatre viewers with extremely bright, clear, distortion-free pictures, regardless of aspect ratio, picture size mounting considerations.""Like many of our products, the Vision Three Projector already has the capability of projecting HDTV images in the vivid, dramatic big-screen formats home theatres require,"" said James Wellnitz, Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing. ""We intended to continue to strive to meet that need in all available projection technologies.""The Vision Three, like its predecessors in the Vision Series, the Vision One and Vision Two Projectors, says the company, employs a variety of technical breakthroughs to achieve the remarkable picture quality that has earned the Vision Series widespread recognition. Designed for use with ultra-high performance video line doublers and quadruplers, the Vision Three is equally at home displaying high-resolution video or computer images.Says the company, Scheimpflug-design lens adjustments assure perfect corner-to-corner picture focus, especially when the Vision Three is ceiling mounted at a level above the top of the viewing screen. High-frequency raster circuitry and ultra-wide video bandwidth ensure compatibility with video gear of the highest quality, and large, eight-inch liquid-coupled, electomagnetically focused color tubes.Other advanced features include automatic contrast modulation for uniform picture brightness, even at the edges and corners of the screen; ""gamma"" correction to maintain correct color balance at all brightness levels; and automatic control vertical linearity, which assures that the objects and people in a picture are always correctly proportioned.Computer-controlled screen-size and aspect-ratio set-ups are stored in non-volatile memory, and automatic convergence alignment (optional) delivers perfect picture registration for all three color tubes. Additional features include automatic contrast modulation, and electronic geometry circuits to assure a perfect picture fit with all screens.The Vision Three Projector comes in stylish black or white matte-finish chassis. It is currently available from Vidikron dealers at a suggested price of $24,995.
