    Yes, I wanted to volunteer as a sales person going around the small cinemas, but at that stage my health was not up to it. A passion for sure, great way to see the country, but I can virtually garrantee most of the small, mostly country, independents would scratch their heads before contemplating if they should get rid of me. Hard sell to these people, as everything and the dominating theater chains in the nearst city is putting them out. We did not have antitrust laws here like the states, so variouse markets got dominated. But, with the national broadband network there is easy way to set up film distribution using Red (which is below the standard data rate) versus existing (which is way above the rate, so costly). But I can easily see that market double over here from new small independent art house theater, even started by film clubs, to concentrate on Indie stuff. I actually am interested in multi-functional venues that can use the projector and seating area for other things in regional location, such as a local sports club that could multi purpose large entertainment venue as theaters when nothing is booked, probably more common over here. See, the market is not so limited, but it would be better if the projector could do a 15 meter screen for $10-20k.

    BTW Stuart, how does the scanning mechanism work?

    To summaries. The basic projector is a complex configuration of a beast in the way it is setup, and not conducive to cheap mass production?

    I wonder, is it possible to serialize a series, or otherwise concentrate, of high efficiency monochromatic leds into a concentrated beam, I guess it is. We have had 80% efficiency leds for sometime over here, but not monochromatic. I believe the inventor is using a similar scheme to an old scheme I came up with, and I might be able to modify the output to monochromatic with a new scheme I came up with. That would solve much heating problems, if the last leds are still working at the low rates of efficiency they used to (I think ir or red beams were the only ones I heard of before working at any reasonable efficencies), however I should be able to change the colors of these too.

    That's great!

    Eh ?

    What is the latency for the projector? I have plans to use it throughout post, as a one-light, editorial monitor, online/VFX, grading and final viewing. So in editing, latency is quite important for a fast and fluid workpace (at least for me), as well as in grading where I would like to see the changes as I do them, not moments later.

    What are we aiming for here? 5ms, 9ms?

    This projector does not raster scan a laser beam on the screen. It looks to be LCOS with laser light source.
    At the present time, it would be illegal to do a raster beam type projector due to antique laser laws in place.

    Yeah, I read about the research into single spot systems. There are a number of ways that I addressed these in my own designs. I'm still not giving up how my thing works from the other thread.

    I would count a dmd as a scanning system too though. Lcos, that is an interesting CHIOCE. Is anything said anywhere on this? I can speculate on the Lcos chioce, just on the performance needed (reflectivity efficency, heat, type of pixel mechanism, speed). If we knew a lot about Lcos, we could probably quickly narrow down a couple of technologies, and maybe a couple of companies.

    Another Eh? So by that comment can I assume that you will only grade on a CRT rather than on a LCD or Plasma or DCI projector ?
