Philips VIDI is an enabling lamp technology for both micro and front projection equipment. VIDI is referred to as an enabling technology as it resides in the lamp electronics. It offers increased brightness and enhanced contrast for significant improvement of picture quality for end users.

VIDI electronics turn the light from a projection lamp into a two pulse system; a brilliant pulse and dark pulse. The dark pulse enables enables enhance contrast delivering smoother more vivid pictures. On the other hand, the brilliant pulse boosts projection bulb brightness by up to 25% to 30% putting more lumens of brightness on the projection screen.

Philips expect VIDI technology to allow projector manufacturers to provide consumers with the flexibility to tune their projector for multiple applications eg. data vs. video projection. Philips have worked in close cooperation with Texas Instruments for combining VIDI with TI’s BrilliantColor technology.
