AWOL Vision Aetherion Pro 4K RGB Triple-Laser UST Projector

The AWOL Vision Aetherion Pro is the ultra-short-throw flagship line from the same group as Valerion: TI 0.47" DMD (pixel-shifted 4K), RGB triple-laser, 2,600 ISO lumens. Throw ratio 0.2:1—place the chassis near the wall or screen for 80–200". Light-source life 25,000+ hours. About 562 × 140 × 323 mm, 8.75 kg. Motorized lens cover on shutdown.

NoirScene System II uses a seven-step motorized iris + EBL for dark scenes—native contrast claimed 6,000:1, dynamic viewing contrast 60,000:1. Zero Light Leakage optics tame stray light. PixelLock sapphire-glass lens targets UST edge softness and focus drift. Anti-RBE reduces single-chip DLP rainbow. Colour gamut claimed 110% Rec.2020.

Dimmer than Aetherion Max (Max is 3,300 ISO) with the same contrast and gaming feature set. Suited to 100–150" in controllable ambient light; an ALR screen makes daytime more stable.

Picture character Dark-scene performance is the UST story this generation: blacks deeper than older LTV models, clearer HDR layering. Wide, saturated colour; Filmmaker + EBL suit movies. PixelLock keeps large-frame edges sharp. Anti-RBE on, most viewers barely see rainbow; a few may notice slight electronic noise when enabled. Low gaming latency with high refresh + VRR at 1080p. Built-in speakers beat typical projectors; serious viewing still wants external audio. Pair a UST ALR screen for daytime living rooms.
