REDray Projector..

Eh ?

:-)

That was an easy one Stuart, written in a language we are familiar with. What was your last name? ;)

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

The design of the upgradable projector over many parts and display mechanism, makes it difficult to mass produce as cheaply as a all in one 15 foot unit using a cheap display engine setup? Cheap production being in the $2k range.

Luv stumping engineers with English! ;)

O.K, just wanted to clarify what your opinion was there.

You guys should reach out to IMAX, seems their laser system is a little behind...

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 ?

Hmm, I am interested too. LCOS, have reached hundreds of frames of sequential color ages ago, and blue phase LCD can go much high, and I do not know about Los versions of that. However, it has to be, more or less, stable activity at the laser energy input, so a clear 100% on to off, off to on, or anything I between, what is the slowest refresh rate? Going onto another issue Stuart, what is the maximum contrast ratio, and black level on a max lit Lcos? What is the life expectency of the lcos, without performance degregation that would shift relative intensity of any pixel levels by more than 1024th (adding an error of one pixel level on a wide dynamic range). To be fair, it might not be an issue until more than 512th, an error of 256th, how long would that take? Conventional LCD projection systems are notorious for going off.

But, he might also refer to just the time delay between the live video signal being sent and the frame being rendered on screen. I can imagine if there is time delay in camera transmission, computer reception and processing of image data and transmission and projection, then it might also add up to something substantial (btw, happy end of April day over there :-) ) .

Don't need a speculative opinion there Stuart, if you spill those little red jumping beans :-)

So I guess This is the Projector from HDI3d. Since that Companys website is offline.

You can test latency of a projector

Didn't want to produce an eh here :)
No, I rather use LCD's or plasmas, and the latency for them are quite workable. Just wanted to know a little about latency for editing because it can slip the video out of sync if you aren't getting the audio out of the projector (like when using a mixing table)

Well for any digital display device (not an analog system such as CRT) you can assume 1 or 2 frames of processing.

Which is why you slip the audio on the playback device - or feed through an audio delay unit - to compensate for that.

Huh? The HD-I3D is made by Bernelli (who's site is not offline, works just fine here). And it's a 1080p projector aimed at upper mid-range home theatre installations, it has built in YouTube and Netflix as well as the ability to directly connect your iPod.

Maybe I misunderstood what you're commenting on, but it just seemed really out of place...

Different hyphen placement. There was a company called HDI that was doing a laser-based projector.
