Need projector capable of lighting up huge screen with great picture. - Page 8

Dan,
I have to look at my son's baseball games and talk to Angela, I'd like her to go with me. Can you email the address to me ? sonnebornortho@comcast.net

OK I'm go for Saturday. If it isn't an issue I'd like to get there around noon.

OK, so there's one.

Anyone else for this Saturday around noon? North Aurora, IL.

Jeff....


?

So just us chickens ?

Shouldn't they be flying in to see you?

Unfortunately, it just isn't feasible to do that; the projector is optimized for our room and I've spent a pretty significant amount of time tweaking the lens memories to demonstrate on our setup- traveling with the projector would mean that nothing is as good as it could be.

By demoing in the projector's "native" environment, I can show the piece in the best manner possible and you get to see just what it can do. In our case the only possible difference between the demo unit and an actual customer unit could be the aperture plate installed and the output capability (one can choose various levels of output for desired contrast capabilities).

Considering our screen is 12'x6' and Microperfed Studiotek 130, I think that we're capable of showing the unit's performance on pretty large sized screens (12'-bigger) as a decent approximation. Pat measured our peak white at over 40 FtL, so I have to figure that's enough horsepower to light up 14-16' screens pretty well. And for the person that has the 10' wide screen- you can reduce the size of the aperture and the lamp output (ours is set as low as you can make it) and receive better black levels and contrast.

Dan:

Did you happen to measure the on/off at the various fixed aperture plate installs when you measured FtL?

I was getting about 24 FtL and 3800:1 on/off from my Titan on 12' 1.78 aspect Ratio, 130 Stewart, with new bulb fully calibrated and with notch filter on.

The Christie's have always been a favorite of mine and now with the ability to install fixed apertures the on/off should no longer be an issue..

The aperture was installed by DD before it shipped to us- I didn't find out about the different plates until I talked to Jim about the lens memories. Ours is the largest, and therefore the lowest setting for full-on full-off, for the projector. I haven't measured since Pat was in to calibrate; and I missed most of that. I asked Pat if he measured and he replied that he did not and pretty-much dismissed the notion as purely academic considering each room/projector/screen combo will vary wildly.

I'll measure the next time I get a chance using the projectors internal patterns and my spectracal C6 (so take it with a grain of salt). Until I have the need for something more accurate more often, I'll be calling Pat in for the calibrations that need that type of accuracy- at least with the DD machines I sell from now on. I have my eye on the aviello Kroma II for my theater- that or a HD6.

Sorry I can't help with the contrast numbers more solidly, I'll do what I can.

Just saw this... WHAT WAS THE OUTCOME HERE ART?

Not a good weekend for me. Oldest is graduating and we're having a Graduation party at the house... so was fixing the place up for the big event!

Jeff,
I didn't go; today is Jonathon's birthday and we had too little time to get things ready for all the kids coming including cleaning the pool. I asked Dan if the 15th would work Why don't you look at that one .

June 15th works.
