Guess what Ken and I are doing this weekend? :D

I've got a little loaner upstairs that is begging to be introduced into my theater. ;)

Ahhhhh yes, digital brightness (actually beginning to enproach 3 chip DLP!) with ultra uber on/off contrast that can only be dreamed about in front projection.

I see yummy pictures of test patterns and various screenshots of some of my favorite material in the near future. ;)

Cliffy

Ahhh the famous triple stacked G90 we have all been dreaming of!!!

Cliff not only am i certifiable but so are you! not sure if i have enough of those tubes for a tripple stack dude!!!, have fun setting up a platform for that third G90.:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

the G270 !!!

nashou !!!

:D;):D;)

It's actually gonna be very simple my good friend. I plan on taking the back row seats out of my theater and using 2X4's for a makeshift spot under the hushbox for the loaner. Everything is pretty much tweaked out for the stack, just have to work some scheimenflugy on one of the green tubes, but other than that, ready to go after D65 touchup.

15 foot lamberts. 10 foot wide unity gain. Oh, and yes, you can stack 3 G90's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek:;):eek:;)

Cliffy

Nice!!! I think when i get the rough blend set up on the floor and before i take down the marquee 8500 from the ceiling i will try the same thing !
But I have to wait for my bellow endeavor to happen and then convert my one 8500 to a 9500LC.

cant wait to see what the 3G90 stack looks like !

I may have to make a drive up to chi town!!

I've got to see this.

There's some movie quote they use on a local radio station that is apropos here:

'YOU SICK LITTLE PUKE!'

:D

Thank god you are not bolting that thing to the ceiling just yet. Might need to float a steel beam in to support all that CRT goodness. I'm in the states maybe I should come down, this could be interesting.

Cliff finally gets a three way :P

OH, YOU GOT A PROBLEM!!!

You better go in and get checked out.:D

Gets to the top of the mountain, has a awesome view, then comes back with a ladder. You should really check yourself in.

MIKE

sick bastard.

I think we need an intervention planed at the next meet ;)

Athanasios

i think we would need several interventions for cliff :)

As long as the interventions include booze and boobs, I'm good! :cool:

Yes, I am a sick bastard. ;)

Hope the week is going well for you BIG DOG!

Bummer. Unfortunately the project has been put off for a while. :(

No triple stack this weekend...........

I'm gonna start prepping for it though. :cool:

Cliffy

Such a tease!:eek:

So are you doing a table mount (not inverted) third projector ? Ken told me once he would never do it.:D I hope you guys have fun. Should yield a more punchy image.

Hi Cliff,

Well, its a bit of fun so see for yourself.

(Also some posts in there from my old friend Mr King (RIP))



Cliff, you got a spare output for the NEC switcher? If not then now might be the time to try HDMI.......

Only wish I could see this,



Greg has my 909 boards for a up to date HDMI mods, once back I will test how bright the blend really is.

Take care,


Cliff is there room for you to go rear projection ???

That would then be silent in the cinema, apart from that awesome sound system.

How's it going Andy? :)

Where is the linky???? Yes, I've got 3 output cards in the NEC so I can just reroute from my equipment room monitor to the G90. I don't have an HDMI input card for the G90 though. Just the moome HDMI card in the switcher.

I don't have any room for rear projection either unfortunately cause that would be a great idea. :)

I'm going to start working on it tomorrow so I'll update soon. ;)

Hope all is well with you. Oh, and I got the PM about your tubes too.

I wen't to my bosse's house last night to begin a little project in his rec room in the basement. It includes that little Panny 3000 I had. We fired it up last night on 10ft wide white paint and it was pretty damn good.

He also picked up the Klipsch Ultra II 7.1 setup along with an Onkyo receiver. Nice little place he has and boy, what a nice little setup. Pics arent so hot but it give's you the idea. :)

I'm coming out to you first. ;)

Dude, this triple stack is going to be sweet. I'm almost 100% sure I'll bust the on/off contrast and light output for front projection in this forum in not only regards to CRT but digital as well.

It's going to be absolutely sick. It will be a little noisy, but SICK AS HELL.

Nothing on the digital side is going to be able to think about reaching this kind of picture quality.

It's amazing how many people were against stacking because of loss of resolution.

NOT TRUE!!!!

Not only that, but I'm going to prove it with THREE G90's. ;)

I'm still scratching my head as to why someone would blend and not stack,this is what I've come up with.

1)blend is supposed to be sharper?Cliffs screenshots definately do not lack sharpness.
2) 2.35 for blending uses full raster,blah....16*9 is good enough and you just need to mask down.
3)cost?I think even with the triple stack cliff is still ahead.

What am I missing here?
Is there something else to consider?I'm just trying to decide whether my next upgrade is a stack or blend.


Dave

Blending usually is used when you have a larger screen as with blending you use closer to the full tube face and can get more light output from each projector. Blending also allows you to use most any CRT as the geometry is simpler, for stacking if you want the projectors side by side you are limited as few machines are capable of this.

Another thing people forget is you get thew PJ a lot closer to the Screen in a blend, this helps improve light output off the screen. But Like you said, not many CRT PJ can do a side by side stack, the G90,909, and Marquee Ultras.

Alan, the difference is unreal. My greyscale is a bit off right now, but if what I'm seeing is ANY indication, when Ken gets his hands on this puppy, well, LOOK OUT. :eek:

I have a bit of Virgin phosphor on the green in Art's PJ, upper right corner (side by side stack) but everything else is spot on.

I have not posted anything, because their are no words, words fail me Cliff.

I'll get back to you on this in a bit.

:)

Guys, I screwed up the numbers for the on/off measurement so I'm reposting below.

As long as all the projctors are in good shape and you have ample room, with a dual view screen, you could even do 8 stacked projectors. Four in the front and four in the rear. The questions are why and when is enough enough?

Something new to dream about and aspire to. Great stuff, Cliffy.

Ok, here are the on/off measurements taken for the triple stack:

Projector one:

0IRE
R .001 FL
G .005 FL
B .001 FL

100IRE
R 4671 FL
G 20040 FL
B 1425 FL

Projector two:

R .094 FL
G .002 FL
B .002 FL

100IRE
R 4026 FL
G 17560 FL
B 1331 FL

Projector two:

R .011 FL
G .017 FL
B .001 FL

100IRE
R 4160 FL
G 17700 FL
B 1338 FL

High Numbers added up:

72,251 Foot Lamberts

Low Numbers added up:

.134 Foot Lamberts

Divide 72,251 by .134

On/Off CONTRAST of a Triple Stack:

539,186 to one!

:eek::eek::eek::eek:
:D:D:D:D

Light output:

14.8 foot lamberts.

Ok, here are the on/off measurements taken for the triple stack:
...
On/Off CONTRAST of a Triple Stack:

539,186 to one!If you put up a video black pattern (like from a test disc or a movie with a blackout), can you see that the screen is more reddish? My experience is that our eyes aren't as sensitive to red down low, so it wouldn't surprise me if you don't really see the red push there. Pretty nice either way, but your on/off CR for just green looks like it is around 2 million to 1, and your on/off CR for just blue look like it is around a million to 1 (although there is a fairly big margin of error). With your on/off CR for red around 120k:1 you could increase your on/off CR for white by taking care of the red at video black for the 2nd projector, but if you can't see it then I wouldn't worry about it much.

My experience is that our eyes aren't as sensitive to red down low, so it wouldn't surprise me if you don't really see the red push there. Pretty nice either way, but your on/off CR for just green looks like it is around 2 million to 1, and your on/off CR for just blue look like it is around a million to 1 (although there is a fairly big margin of error). With your on/off CR for red around 120k:1 you could increase your on/off CR for white by taking care of the red at video black for the 2nd projector, but if you can't see it then I wouldn't worry about it much.

Darin, you don't see it, at least I don't. This weekend was amazing. I've never seen anything perform like this before in front projection. It was absolutely sick. I mean SICK!!!!! :D

Of course, BIG thanks go to Ken for making some changes and helping me get the system just right with his Mad Skillz. ;)

I wish the hard core guys like you could have seen this.

Are you considering going with the triple stack long term?

Maybe you could drown out some of the noise from the projectors by putting a PS3 in there. :)

watching the "pause ||" seems like if the blu is out convergence....:confused:

Man I get no Love :)

Thanks for letting me come down, as always had a great time. Nice conversation, great video, just good times.

You know after spending so much time in homes theaters, iMax just doesn't do it for me. The weave in the screen really drove me nuts. But if your going to pay to see a movie, iMax is the way to go. Thanks Ken I had a great time watching The Day the Earth Stold Still with you.

This worked to stop Gort's attack, maybe it will stop Cliff's ever growing G90 stack, Cough... "Klaatu barada nikto"... Anything? No?, Dam... Oh well I tried, play on player...

Ok, here are the on/off measurements taken for the triple stack:

Projector one:

0IRE
R .001 FL
G .005 FL
B .001 FL

100IRE
R 4671 FL
G 20040 FL
B 1425 FL

Projector two:

R .094 FL
G .002 FL
B .002 FL

100IRE
R 4026 FL
G 17560 FL
B 1331 FL

Projector two:

R .011 FL
G .017 FL
B .001 FL

100IRE
R 4160 FL
G 17700 FL
B 1338 FL

High Numbers added up:

72,251 Foot Lamberts

Low Numbers added up:

.134 Foot Lamberts

Divide 72,251 by .134

On/Off CONTRAST of a Triple Stack:

539,186 to one!

:eek::eek::eek::eek:
:D:D:D:D

Light output:

14.8 foot lamberts.

You get nothin' but love from your bro and you know it. :)

I had a blast Don. Sorry I didn't make it for IMAX, but I was pretty whooped by then as I'm sure you could tell. ;) It was time for nighty night. :D

Dude, the no words comment btw, loved it. I had a blast.

I'm actually shocked at the on/off numbers Big Dog. If I had a projection booth in the back of the room for them I would do it in a heart beat. It's a LITTLE softer when you add the third, but OMG, amazing.

Hopefully you'll see it one day. :)

Cliffy

Looks good Cliffy!

I can't wait until the weekend so we can dial in the gray scale and measure the output.

BTW, did I tell you I'm going to tweak Wallace's NEC in February? I'll be in BBQ heaven!!!


Ken Whitcomb

Ken,

Thanks so much for your making this bad boy sing. I couldn't have done it without you. I love the changes to the setup. You were right.

I'm getting ready to go into the theater and pull the Pioneer. :(

You know it's funny cause even though I thought it was loud, Don said it was manageable. The only downfall was having the third right behind my head. If I could put them in a projection booth, hell yes, I'd do it.

Designed properly I think it would be perfectly stable. ;)

Unfortunately with the economy in the pooper, I ain't gonna be making no changes anytime soon. :(

I will however, leave that bad boy in the back of the room for the next few weeks. :D

Cliffy

this is absolutely AMAZING ... this sets the standard for FPs, either CRT or digital...

NICE!!!

I gotta get over and check it out before you take it down...

Cliff,
Did you say that this is being readied as a permanent install ?

Art,

If I had the room, yes I would, but it's right smack dab in the spot where the family likes to sit so today it's coming down. :(

That's ok though, I'm perfectly happy with 9.8 foot lamberts and still what I consider insane on off. ;)

Hope the weekend is going well.

Cliffy

You could always knock the wall out and dig that pit we talked about..

Why say no when yes feels so much better, and how is so much more interesting. :)

Yes, nice article on your HT Don. Congrats!

Now Cliff, sorry to hear the triple threat is coming down, down, down..........

So now that my eyes had a chance to heal, you see they were scorched by massive amounts of light, I forgot to calibrate them, I was under the impression that CRTs were some what dim compared to digital light cannons. Should have known better, I should have planned ahead and calibrated them to digital levels.

Anyway a few words / phrases come to mind when thinking about the triple stack.


illuminated
Brilliant
Smoking
Eye Searing
Sweet
lumalicus
sexy
lofty
culmination
WTF
Tubular
majestic
momentous
Spectacular Spectacular
Oh my god he went straight to the elephant
Uplifting
Oh no he, did ant
I'll take things I wish my RS1 did.
Religious Experience.
Traveling Space an Time
This man needs medical assistance
Cliff why is this pop corn popping, are you sure all those tubes are safe.
Johnson enhancing.
Is that dark matter, or is your stack just glad to see me.
Overclocked?
Sponge Worthy
You don't even need a reason
One with the light
Calibrators Nightmare :)
This just in... Scientists have traveled from far, and wide to St. John, IN in hopes of witnessing the discovery of a black hole on earth, only to stumble upon a G90 triple stack. One of the scientist was quoted as saying "dam that's now that's black".

I owe it to you, Ken, Art, Clarence and the greater community that is AVSFORUM.

When they come to do the DVD shoot, Ken, and you should stop by. We could get smoking jackets, and maybe some cavasia or how ever it's spelled.

Yes, we are a special bunch aren't we? The years I've spent with you guys has been fantastic. ;)

Personally, I think that we should definitely have a midget stripper for the shoot. Heck, we've been talking about it this whole time, let's film it!!!!!!!!

:D;):D;)

Cliffy

Yeah I know right? It's about time. I think that's in Obama's new plan for America a Midget stripper in every home.

When I get back from Kuwait I'll see about that video shoot. Hopefully you can make it up to Kalamazoo.
