So what do you guys use to take the photos and do you pause the film or do you take multiple photos ?

I had lost my 5th Element Blu Ray, ordered another and fired up the new one today. It appears to be different in some ways.

Anyway, everything is still the same with my Marquee and Blu Ray settings, with only the disk being different. The shots are also and as usual, un-touched directly from the camera.

Hey William, what you think?

You know Mike, when the 5th E came out it was not done properly and months later they had a exchange program. the new disc was mastered from the original masters and done properly. The old version was pretty bad, the Sd DVD was just as good some say.

Maybe you had the old one before?

It looks like I could get a G70 sometime in June, but I would have to hold off on my blu-ray purchases awhile. It will be sooner if I'm employee of the month, which it looks like I might be.

It's been some months since I've misplaced my previous version of The 5th Element. And since having this version months later, it's hard to tell if it's it was the first Blu Ray release. I did a search following up on what Nash posted and found that there was a second version, and I thought I had that version..

Not 100% sure, but this present version appears to be different..

Anyway, I did confirm that I presently have the later version, because it has the "True HD" on the back cover.

You're killing us Mike. We need those G90 mods STAT

Very good mike i Want Your work on my G90.

Not sure what the criteria is for this thread but I thought it would be funny to show some screenshots from a lower tier CRT PJ and environment

These screenshots are the first I've tried to take, whatsoever, live image is better than what you see in these photos.
For the sake of consistancy I used auto-focus and auto-ISO on a Canon D30 on a tripod.
The highlights (e.g. on forheads) are exagerated by the camera, so they are more subtle and more detailed than what you see, so there is no "white crush" live.
Not an ideal environment either, ceiling is white.

PJ: BD808 (non S), Roscoe Red filter, HD Fury1 connected to Port3.
Screen: DIY, can't remember the name of the plastic sheet that was popular a while ago
Calibrated with a Spyder2 by myself (I told you low tier )

Here goes, I tried to take some familiar scenes.
Ohh, almost forgot, these are the BD's but the output is 720p from the HTPC.

Looks great to me Fredrick!!!

What size is the screen?

Athanasios

Thanks Athanasios, it's a 92" screen (diagonal).
As I've collected a bit more BD's lately I'll give another shot at 1080i soon. Somewhat concerned about flickering though as the bandwidth is a bit limited at 75MHz.

I've not forgot about the G90 mods at all. They're pretty much done on my end. I've ceased doing anything else to the G90, because I too think it's time to move them forward. So they should be happening soon..


On my very latest Marquee work (not available yet), I've been playing around with using an IC to filter noise in the video chain. It's kind of complicated to explain, but what he have been doing is using the highest bandwidth chips to get the sharpest image. And in doing that, we also open up the video chain to higher frequency noise that is not so easily seen in the final image. That noise causes various distortions in the image, and these distortions not only smear that same sharpness, it also clouds the backgrounds. This may sound a little complicated, but it's something I've been looking into for the past few years, with finally finding a way to achieve a perfect goal of being able to pass the perfect video bandwidth windows through the video chain, and to do it without also allowing various noises either amplified from the source or introduced and magnified from the video chain itself.

The end results.. well, I had William over a few week ago and I was showing him a scene in King Kong that I've taking a many shot of, and he's also seen a many times on his setup. On my screen, we were able to see a lake or pond of water, that was not visible before. That plus an entirely sharper and cleaner image... Well, I've only been looking into this for the past eight years..

Anyway, I'm at an entirely different performance lever with the mods. And to fully realize this, you would need to see it for yourself on my screen. It's an entirely different class of sharpness for a CRT projector..

So Mike, is the new version of your 02 VIM ready for prime time, or are you still playing with it?

Your most recent posts look better than any before.

Maybe I should bring my spare 03 VIM over so you can mod it, then we can compare the new mod directly to the old mod in the blend?

I believe it's ready, I'd like to still play with it a little longer.

No doubt, it's one of the biggest of my improvements so far. And to be able to get that level of performance from an 02 VIM is the real thriller here. It's really a very unique combination of changes, with the very last one making the biggest difference.

I also have a new signal generator to add to the other toys I use for this stuff.

Oh, and of course we'll hook you up with these latest changes when I'm done. We'll do an A/B comparison using your dual Marquees. This should be a killer comparison, especially on an 03 VIM.

A few more that's a little peaked. I had to change out a couple of parts that came in today, and that changed things a little on the gain of the signal. I'll be evaluating those changes over the next few days.

Wow.. the view count on this thread has been very high the past few days..

I'm waiting on "Inception" to get here on Friday. Hopefully, it'll have some eye candy scenes that would be worth posting.

At present I have my camera setting to the right of the G90 that's on a cart on the floor right under my Marquee that I'm using for these shots. But will later try and place it behind or in front of the G90 from then on. I'll also see what I can do to capture what the shots look like on my screen. Maybe show the screen and where it sits to the left and right walls - Just a thought.

Oh, and it would be nice to get some of the digital guys to start back posting their shots. I see they're back at it over on the pixel forum, just hope they have a little love to also share some of their shots over here as well..

A few more with the usual ambient light in the room during day light.

These are a few shots taking during testing. They are from my Marquee, but keep your eyes open this weekend for the G90 shots. Or should I have said for shots from the beast.. another change is coming..

Ok, now for the two different shots I'd mentioned previously. One behind the G90 and the other directly in front of it. The first shot (directly behind) also shows a ladder.

Damit Good stuff

I fired up "Inception" earlier today, and was not that pleased with it for screen shots.

But I did like one of the preview movies. And that's where the following shots came from:

Dang.. I was supposed to have posted shots from the G90 this past weekend. That was my intent, but in the process of finding a more precise filter for my Moome card that would be better for the G90. I ended up tweaking a lot further on the signal chain, especially now with the new pattern generator on board.

So, not only was I able to bring things to another level with my Marquee, just wait to see what I'll also be doing to the G90... It's been a wonderful past few days in the Mod Factory..

Still FULL 1080P - UN-Touched..
