Valerion, the premium video projector sub-brand of AWOL Vision, showcased the final production version of its VisionMaster Max projector at IFA 2025 in Berlin, Germany. Features include enhanced black-level performance, rainbow effect eliminating technology, and immersive wireless surround sound.

Set to begin commercial shipping in October, the upgraded RGB laser projector debuts several new and enhanced features, as well as a dedicated ThunderBeat sound system, that deliver improved contrast, better clarity in dark scenes, and enhanced sound.

The latest version of VisionMaster Max introduces upgrades that bring it closer to professional-grade performance and makes it the world's first lifestyle projector with interchangeable lenses for unlimited projection flexibility and lightning-quick Gigabit Ethernet connection.

It has upgraded native contrast 5,000:1 (up from 4,000:1) and EBL (Enhanced Black Level) contrast of 50,000:1 (up from 15,000:1), that promises superior depth and shadow detail. Powered by the proprietary NoirScene Dark Field Engine System, the projector combines a precision IRIS aperture that regulates light intake across varying brightness scenarios, stray light shielding, and EBL algorithm.

The precision IRIS aperture is a mechanical component that regulates the amount of light passing through an optical system. Unlike a dynamic iris, it remains fixed during playback, ensuring more stable luminance and easier calibration. To further improve image clarity and contrast, the stainless-steel blades of the aperture are coated with heat-resistant black paint. According to the company, this design enhancement significantly boosts the native contrast ratio, producing deeper, more lifelike blacks, adding depth and dimensionality to every scene, improving accuracy in dark tones and color gradation, maintaining consistent luminance across varying brightness levels, and reducing the need for frequent recalibration.

Enhancing its visual performance even further, the projector introduces a world-first Anti-RBE (rainbow effects) technology, pushing the boundaries of what DLP projectors have previously achieved. This feature purports to eliminate 99.99% of rainbow effects, which occur when rapid color separation creates distracting flashes of red, green, and blue. Anti-RBE technology blends individual color sequences so rapidly that the human eye perceives a seamless, natural image, effectively eliminating the rainbow effect.

Additionally, a boost in brightness to 3,500 ISO lumens (up from 3,000) elevates its visual clarity and brightness.

Thanks to its interchangeable glass lenses with both physical and digital optical zoom, the Valerion VisionMaster Max adapts seamlessly to virtually any room or environment. With a variable throw ratio of 0.9-2.0:1, it supports everything from short-throw projection in compact spaces to long-throw installations in larger venues. The native throw ratio of 0.9-1.5:1 is ideal for tight spaces, while an optional auxiliary lens extends the range to 1.5-2.0:1, perfect for expansive, long-distance setups. The auxiliary lens features a patented bayonet mount with an open, flexible structure, ensuring compatibility with lenses from other leading brands.

Additional highlights include:

  • Gigabit Ethernet + WiFi 6E: Enjoy lightning-fast connectivity for seamless 4K streaming, online gaming,
  • Smart OS: Built-in Google TV with Dolby Vision, IMAX Enhanced, HDR10+, and AI scene optimization.
  • Advanced Chipset: Powered by the AI-enhanced MT9618 SoC with 4GB RAM and 128GB eMMC memory for ultra-smooth performance, fast boot times, and responsive navigation—perfect for gaming and high-speed content.
  • Smart as Well as Bright: Fully integrates with Google HomeKit, Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, and Control4 for smart home control.

Also debuting at IFA 2025, the ThunderBeat 5.1.2 Wireless Surround Sound System is optimized for Valerion projectors. This setup is a true Dolby Atmos system with ultra-low latency and wireless freedom. Its authentic 5.1.2 channel layout creates a dome-shaped soundstage with 360-degree coverage that delivers cinema-level audio quality.

VisionMaster Max will be available in October 2025, priced at $4,999. The ThunderBeat 5.1.2 Wireless Surround Sound is sold separately and priced at $1,298, for the full system and $999 for a 4.1.2 version without the optional central speaker. Valerion's projector lineup also includes StreamMaster Plus priced at $1,499, StreamMaster Plus 2 priced at $1,999, VisionMaster Pro priced at $2,799 and VisionMaster Pro 2 priced at $2,999.
