Image Clarity, Down to Pixel

Pixel-level Clarity. No Corner Blur

Uniform clarity across the entire screen—micro-details stay razor-sharp, preserving a lifelike,
crystal-clear image from every viewing angle.

What Makes Aetherion the Sharpest

Most Advanced Lens = Rare Materials + Finest Craft

1.Sapphire Glass with Rare Earth Coating 1.Sapphire Glass with Rare Earth Coating
1.Sapphire Glass with Rare Earth Coating Built with high-index sapphire glass and an ultra-low dispersion design, this lens delivers razor-sharp, true-to-life images with virtually zero chromatic aberration. Rare-earth enhancement in both the glass and coating boosts light transmission, contrast, and color accuracy for cinematic-level clarity.

2.Planetary Coating Process We use the premium Planetary Coating Process, a method far more demanding and costly than conventional coating with only 50% of the industry’s success rate. Its multi-axis synchronized rotation ensures perfectly uniform, high-precision optical films. Every step is completed inside a pharmaceutical-grade cleanroom for truly uncompromised optical quality.

PixelLock™ Technology for Congruent Pixel Alignment

PixelLock™ works with our advanced multi-element lens system to maintain micro-level stability, preventing drift and keeping every pixel locked in place as the image scales.

Titanium Thermal Mesh Prevents Defocus

A titanium thermal mesh is integrated between the reflective elements, forming a precision heat shield that stabilizes the optics and eliminates focus drift for ultra-clear, enduring image clarity.

Sharpness in Motion Stays True

No smearing, even at extreme speed. Every detail stays crisp and controlled, keeping action, sports, and
gaming perfectly clear — and motion naturally comfortable.

World’s First UST with 4K at 200"

As the screen expands, every quadrant stays clear and easy to follow — revealing details small split-screens can’t. Supports two-way split view with up to two signal sources (one wired), or four-way split view with up to four wireless sources.

Disclaimer: Actual projection distance may vary. Please refer to the projection size–distance chart at the
bottom of the page for details.

All-Day Comfortable Viewing

Anti-RBE Technology for Both 3D & 2D

Industry-first Anti-RBE Technology eliminates up to 99.99% of rainbow effect for both 2D & 3D, delivering a cleaner,
more natural image that reduces eye strain and keeps you comfortably immersed for hours.

“I’m extremely sensitive to the rainbow effect, especially during fast motion scenes. With Aetherion’s 3D Anti-RBE system, it’s basically gone. I can finally watch movies without eye strain — it feels like a completely different class of projector.”

Michael R
“Coming from a standard DLP projector, the difference is night and day. The 3D Anti-RBE tech on Aetherion dramatically reduces rainbow artifacts while boosting contrast. Once you see it, there’s no going back.”
avatar
Jason L
“Rainbow effect has always been the Achilles’ heel of DLP for me. Aetherion’s anti-RBE implementation is the first I’ve experienced that truly works — smoother highlights, deeper blacks, and zero distraction even in high-contrast scenes.”

Effortless Daytime Viewing

Even in daytime with soft light control, the picture stays bright, vivid, and easy on the eyes.
With reduced harmful blue light, you get a gentler, more comfortable view—consistently
enjoyable without needing a dark room or changing how you live.

Unlock Hidden HDR Details

Advanced DTM adapts each frame instantly, delivering richer contrast, truer colors, and unmatched clarity—now elevated with an expanded tuning range built from our proven HDR engineering experience.

Crafted Darkness from the Master

Clearer Dark Scenes by Noirscene™ System II

With a native 6,000:1 contrast ratio, upgraded 7-step IRIS control, and a refined EBL algorithm,
the image delivers deep blacks and true depth—no heavy processing needed. Crisp shadows,
controlled highlights, and clean color separation create a richer, more immersive picture.

Equipped with a 7-level IRIS

A 7-level IRIS mechanism provides granular light control, while an industry-first blackened blade and barrel design minimizes internal reflections for superior dark-scene clarity. With adjustable settings from L1 to L7, the system adapts seamlessly to a wide range of lighting conditions.

EBL™（Enhanced Black Level）Technology

Powered by patented EBL™ algorithms, dark scenes are refined in real time—delivering cleaner imagery, richer black levels, and clearer detail with exceptional stability and intelligent processing.

Geometric Precision for True Color

Studio-Grade Color

Delivers reference-level color accuracy with surgical precision.
A professional CMS with expanded controls lets you fine-tune every hue as directors intended

Triple Laser, Clearly Better

Compared with single-laser systems, ultra-pure triple-laser light delivers richer colors, more accurate
detail, and a visibly cleaner, more lifelike picture—across movies, sports, and everyday viewing.

Best Gaming Combo, Never Wait for Winning

Instant Sync: VRR(Variable Refresh Rate)

Rock-steady images, ultra-smooth motion, and perfectly accurate geometry—so every movie, match, and
game stays clear, continuously fluid, and fully immersive.

1ms Ultra-low Latency

1ms ultra-low latency, ALLM, and Dolby Vision Gaming work together to deliver instant response
and explosive visual detail—no delay, no hesitation, just pure competitive advantage.

How Aetherion Outformed on Gaming

VRR, Key of Fluid Motion

VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) synchronizes the display’s refresh rate with your device in real time, eliminating screen tearing, reducing stutter, and smoothing out frame inconsistencies. The result is a cleaner, more stable picture during fast action and variable-frame gameplay.

24/48FPS + Filmmaker Mode = Authentic Movies

24FPS, the cinematic standard, offers a true-to-life movie experience with smooth motion and emotional depth. With Filmmaker Mode, it faithfully preserves the director’s vision, ensuring an immersive and authentic viewing experience.

25/50FPS + MEMC = Smooth Sports

50FPS doubles the frame rate for ultra-smooth, crystal-clear visuals, perfect for fast-paced action and sports. With MEMC (Motion Estimation and Motion Compensation), it eliminates blur and stutter, delivering a seamless, immersive sports experience.

"PixelLock technology synchronizes each pixel to achieve edge-to-edge image sharpness and is not purely software-based. It's an integrated optical, mechanical, and digital alignment system."
"最大200インチの4K映像を投写できる超短焦点プロジェクター。1msクラスの入力遅延や、6,000:1のネイティブコントラスト、7段階のIRISシステム、3,300 ISOルーメンの明るさ(Aetherion Proは2,600 ISOルーメン)を搭載"
"For users targeting 132- to 200-inch screens, a properly paired UST projector and ALR screen remains far more affordable—and vastly more practical—than any television at that size. That makes the Aetherion Pro and Max a smart fit for enthusiasts who value cinematic scale and responsive gameplay over incremental gains in lumen numbers."
"AWOL Vision might not be the first name that comes to mind when thinking about projectors, but its new Aetherion series could end up including some of the best projectors to launch this year. What sets them apart is AWOL’s proprietary PixelLock technology, which aims to maintain the clarity of a 4K image on larger screen sizes."
"Avec la série Aetherion, AWOL Vision entend fixer un nouveau standard sur le marché en plein essor des vidéoprojecteurs à ultra courte focale. Qualité d’image, performance optique, compatibilité HDR avancée et réactivité pour le jeu sont autant d’arguments qui placent ces modèles face aux références du secteur. Une solution haut de gamme pensée pour ceux qui veulent conjuguer grand spectacle, discrétion et flexibilité."
"If the Aetherion series fulfills its promise of low-latency gaming that supports Dolby Vision Gaming, there’s a chance it could set new benchmarks for UST projectors as genuine all-in-one living room displays—able to deliver not just movie-night spectacle but also responsive, reference-grade gaming on a wall-filling scale."

FAQ

How do I place an order to enjoy the VIP Offer since I made a $50 deposit before?
To redeem your deposit benefit, simply place your order on Kickstarter by selecting an eligible Aetherion projector reward (either the standalone unit or a bundle) through the standard checkout process; after the campaign ends, we’ll verify our pre-order/backer list and process the deposit-related refund accordingly.
Important Requirement: We will verify eligibility by matching the email address of your Kickstarter account with the email used for your $50 deposit. To ensure a seamless refund, you must use the same email address for your Kickstarter purchase as you did for the deposit.
How to pledge?
Here is the Kickstarter official guide for pledging. Please let us know if you have any questions. https://help.kickstarter.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005066393-How-do-I-pledge-
Please note: We recommend not using Apple Pay. Apple Pay may use a private email (Hide My Email), which can prevent us from obtaining your actual email address. This may affect order confirmation, shipping updates, and other important notifications, and may limit our ability to contact you when needed.
How to buy add-ons?
After selecting your primary reward, you can choose your desired add-ons and quantities on the following checkout page. Please note that add-ons will be shipped separately from your Aetherion unit due to their larger dimensions and specialized packaging requirements.
We also offer curated bundles for your convenience. You may choose to purchase a bundle directly if it fits your needs. Similar to individual add-ons, the Aetherion Max and the included accessories within the bundle will be shipped in separate packages.
How can I change my pledge amount or reward selection?
While the project is live, you can change your pledge amount or switch reward tiers via the project page. You can also add add-ons or bonus support. Changes set a new total amount and can only be made before the project ends.
For more information, please check out: https://help.kickstarter.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005126814-How-can-I-change-my-pledge-amount-or-reward-selection-
Please note: Kickstarter prices and perks may change over time. If you change your pledge, you may not be able to restore your original reward selection or the original price.
Can I pledge to project more than once?
On Kickstarter, each pledge can only select one reward tier. If you’d like to order multiple projectors, you can add extra units in Add-ons (choose Aetherion Pro / Aetherion Max and set the quantity you need).
For more information, please check: https://help.kickstarter.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005132333-Can-I-pledge-to-a-single-project-more-than-once
What forms of payment can I use to make a pledge?
To pledge to our project you can use a debit or credit card associated with Visa, Discover, JCB, MasterCard, UnionPay, or American Express. At this time, Discover, UnionPay, and JCB cards are only accepted for US-based projects. We do not currently accept Maestro or Visa Electron cards.
If you are going to use a prepaid credit card, please make sure that the card has a value of at least 1 USD (or the similar equivalent in your local currency, e.g. 1 GBP) more than the amount of your pledge. This will help to reduce the chance of any issues collecting your pledge.
It is not possible to split a pledge across multiple transactions. If your card has a daily limit, we’d recommend contacting the card issuer to determine whether it’s possible to get approval for a particular transaction. Alternatively, you could try using a different card, such as a prepaid card.
For more payment details, please check: https://help.kickstarter.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005066433-What-forms-of-payment-can-I-use-to-make-a-pledge
Can I pledge with PayPal?
We do not currently support PayPal as a payment or account set up method. To pledge towards a project on Kickstarter, you will need to use a valid debit or credit card.
For more payment details, please check: https://help.kickstarter.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005066433-What-forms-of-payment-can-I-use-to-make-a-pledge
What currency will I be charged in, and how are exchange rates and any extra fees handled?
For the Aetherion campaign, pledges are collected in USD. When your payment is processed, if your card/account is not in USD, the final amount will be converted using your card issuer/bank’s real-time exchange rate and transaction rules—any exchange rate differences, foreign transaction fees, or conversion-related charges are determined by your bank/card provider. For details, please check with your issuing bank.
When is my card charged?
Your card will be charged after the project ends.
How do I provide my shipping address and reward details?
According to Kickstarter’s rules, backers' addresses will only be collected through a survey after the end of the project. We will send you a survey to collect the necessary information required to fulfill your rewards. Once you complete the survey, you'll receive an email confirmation that includes a copy of your responses.
For more details, please check: https://help.kickstarter.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005126894-How-do-I-provide-a-creator-with-my-shipping-address-and-reward-details-
Can I cancel a pledge?
According to Kickstarter's policies, you can request a refund at any time before the project ends.Once the project ends, we will lock orders in preparation for shipment, and refunds will no longer be available during this phase. For more details, please refer to this Kickstarter guide: https://help.kickstarter.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005048173-Does-Kickstarter-issue-refunds
Also, if you run into any issues during use later on, please feel free to reach out to our support team at support@awolvision.com and we’ll help you troubleshoot and resolve it.
What is the warranty period for the Aetherion unit?
Aetherion Pro and Aetherion Max projector units are covered by a 1-year limited warranty, plus an additional 1-year free extended warranty, providing a total of 2 years of coverage for manufacturing or shipping-related issues. Damage resulting from misuse (including, but not limited to, drops, extreme temperatures, water exposure, or improper operation) and repairs conducted by third parties are not covered.
We stand behind our products and services with confidence and are happy to provide ongoing technical guidance. Our after-sales service includes, but is not limited to, professional mail-in exchanges, technical guidance, and any other available solutions that can assist you.
What is the expected shipping time?
The Aetherion project is entering mass production, with shipping expected to begin in batches from April 2026. For all add-ons: they will be arranged under the same shipping schedule as the projector, but because some add-ons (especially large items like screens/cabinets) are bulkier and require more complex logistics handling, the delivery time may be slightly later than the projector. Updates will be provided continuously throughout the shipping process.
What is the shipping policy for Aetherion and all Add-ons?
For Aetherion units, we offer free shipping and cover all customs fees for backers in the United States and Canada. For other regions, a shipping fee of $50, $100, $150, or $200 will apply depending on your location.
For Add-ons and Bundles, shipping fees are consistent worldwide: $50 or $100 for add-ons, and $100 or $200 for bundles, depending on the specific items.
- Screens are only available for shipping to the United States, Canada, European Union, United Kingdom, Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates (Mainland only; excluding overseas territories).
- Bundles are only available for shipping to the United States, Canada, European Union, United Kingdom, Australia, Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates (Mainland only; excluding overseas territories).
Please note: The Add-ons and Bundles' shipping fees mentioned above do not apply to the Launch Day Celebration 24-Hour Flash Sale. Shipping for those exclusive deals will be subject to the specific terms displayed at the time of purchase.
Your satisfaction is our priority, and we're here to assist you throughout the process. If you have any questions regarding your region, please contact us at support@awolvision.com.
What is the Customs fee policy for Aetherion and all Add-ons？
Customs fees are covered for the following countries and regions: the United States (mainland only), Canada, the European Union (mainland only, excluding islands and overseas territories), the United Kingdom (mainland only, excluding islands and overseas territories), Australia, Japan, China mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, New Zealand, Switzerland, and South Korea. For backers in other countries, customs clearance may be required. If you have any questions, please contact Valerion for assistance.
Why are VAT and Sales Tax being charged?
For the AWOL Aetherion campaign, we will be using Kickstarter's official and certified partner platforms, and after the campaign ends, we’ll collect your shipping address through the post-campaign survey to calculate and charge the applicable sales tax and VAT based on your address, which are now legally required to collect and remit sales tax and VAT for all campaigns that use them, operating similarly to marketplaces like Amazon or Etsy. While past projects like Valerion used a simplified "flat-price" model before precise calculation tools existed, we are now transitioning to this professional, region-specific system to ensure absolute fairness and transparency. It is because of your incredible support that AWOL Vision is in a position to scale globally, and this new approach ensures you are only charged the exact amount required for your location, based on your final reward and add-on selections. Furthermore, to provide a seamless experience, AWOL Vision will continue to cover customs fees for most regions so you can focus purely on the value of the Aetherion.
How will these taxes be collected?
To ensure total clarity and a hassle-free delivery, your contribution will be handled through a simple two-step split payment. First, Kickstarter will automatically collect the reward payment within 7 days of the campaign’s end. Second, we will collect the precise Sales Tax and VAT via our official address survey only after the initial payment is successfully completed and you provide your shipping details. This specific method ensures total accuracy for your unique location, preventing any unexpected "hidden fees" or courier handling charges at your doorstep when your Aetherion arrives.
How can I get in contact with you?
Please email us at support@awolvision.com or send the message through the Kickstarter inbox. Our customer service team will be happy to assist you and reply as soon as possible.
