Scanner Question

[Bradfo69]

I'm sure there is a simple answer to this and I'm just not remembering what it is:

Two identical projectors sitting side by side. Both have the same Cambridge 6215's. Feed a test pattern from the same computer to both at the same time. For example, the square with the x in it when setting projection zones in LD2000 or Quickshow. Set the zone to 100% wide. Set the projector settings to 100% wide.

One projector gives you a width of say, 32 degrees. The other is perhaps 48 degrees. (Not real numbers since I haven't gotten out a protractor.)

How can I get them to both be the same width? I'm sure there is a pot to adjust or something. There is no size adjustment on the projectors or anything simple I'm overlooking. Doesn't matter if you're daisy chaining or using an ILDA splitter of some sort. Or checking them one by one. One is just bigger than the other.

Thoughts?

Hey Brad,

There should be a pot on the scanner amps to adjust the image size to match up both projectors when using 1 DAC. If, for some strange reason there isn't, you can always add 2 ganged 10K pots to attenuate the signal before it reaches the amp.

EAsier fix trade the Cambridge ones to me for a pair of matched china knockoffs. Lol

Or well touch up the gain pot at DZ mentioned

You can grab the 6215 manual off the camtech website, it's really great. just make sure you're reading the right one based on your amps.

Thanks. Ultimately it may be SELEM before that gets tackled but, I figured perhaps it was some sort of pot adjustment to get them even.

sounds like you need one of these?

Lol... Now that's funny!!!

[Bradfo69]

Oh? Is that what I need? Humm... have to get right on that!

Got one for sale?
