Vidikron Vision 150 User Manual

Cinema Standards Measurement System (CSMS) 
Specifications
-

Brightness: 86.5 foot-Lamberts (fL) (Vision 140); 

 

102.0 fL (Vision 150) 

-

Contrast Ratio (variable, based on lens aperture setting): 

 

235:1 - 275:1 (Vision 140); 224:1 - 275:1 (Vision 150)

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: 2750 ANSI Lumens (Vision 140); 

 

3517 ANSI Lumens (Vision 150) 

-

Contrast Ratio (variable, based on lens aperture setting): 

 

235:1 - 275:1 (Vision 140); 224:1 - 275:1 (Vision 150)

These specifications are obtained by calibrating the projector as 
described above for CSMS measurements. 

Industry-Standard Specifications
-

Light Output: 4000 ANSI Lumens (Vision 140); 

 

6000 ANSI Lumens (Vision 150)

-

Contrast Ratio (variable, based on lens aperture setting): 
1500:1 - 2000:1

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.
