Use the controls in the Picture Menu to calibrate your Vision 85 for optimum picture quality.
The Vision 85 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. 
Cinema
Select Cinema to view 2.35 source 
material in its native aspect ratio.
With a 16:9 screen and a non-CineWide 
projector (no anamorphic lens), the upper 
and lower portions of the screen are 
masked, but the geometry of the active 
image area is unchanged.
 
 
With a 2.35:1 screen and a 
CineWide-equipped projector, the VHD 
Controller scales the 2.35:1 image so that 
the active image area fills the 16:9 chip 
surface, eliminating the black bars. The 
secondary, anamorphic lens then restores 
the proper geometry to the 2.35:1 image. 
IntelliWide 2.35
A 16:9 image is scaled NON-linearly (more 
on the sides than in the center) to fit a 
2.35:1 screen. IntelliWide 2.35 is available 
only on the Vision 85/CineWide and 
Vision 85/CineWide with AutoScope.

When you change a picture quality setting, save the change to a preset 
afterwards. Otherwise, the change will be lost when a different input is 
selected. (Picture quality settings are saved for each input and resolution 
separately.) For information about saving settings, refer to ISF Presets 
on page 56.
