    Default Projector Capabilities Poll

    I was wondering what everyone has for a projector: Scanning Speed, Laser Colors and Modulation Type (Analog / TTL (On/Off) / None), Extra Effects Channels and Types and maybe even input type (ILDA Compliant, Single Ended, or Differential, or doesn't need inputs because it has its own brain)?

    To start off here are mine:

    40kpps max scanning speed
    Red (650 nm) TTL or Analog direct modulation
    Green (532 nm) TTL or Analog direct modulation
    Violet (405 nm) TTL or Analog direct modulation

    The not ILDA compliant inputs Single Ended.

    No additional effects.

    500mW RGB:
    300mW 650nm, 80mW 473nm, 100mW 532nm (which is actually 480mW in my book) This projector was sold as 500mW, but the modules are all over spec before optics.. It does about 480mW after optics. 30kpps, all CNI modules. The balance isn't perfect, but it does well enough once you dial back the green a bit (the 100mW module actually does over 150mW) I'm fairly sure it's single ended, but I've only used it in DMX mode so far. It came with some pretty excellent beam shows programmed into the DMX board.

    200mW 532nm
    200mW New Star Lasers module
    Scanpro 20s
    Single-ended

    I'm also working on a 1W green system.

    Thanks for sharing. Do you know if the lasers were On/Off or Analog modulated?

    The RGB is analog, the green is TTL. The 1W will be analog when it's done.

    8 channels of color, color can be wired single, diff, or TTL with a cable change because NEOS is professional about these things. Usually configured for 0-5V single ended.

    My DPSS are 0-5V Analog.

    Galvos are single ended or diff with a plug change inside the projector.


    6 actuators that can be driven TTL or DMX

    master shutter flips at 5 volts, unflips at 1.6 V

    Interlock loop is 12V at roughly 45 mA.

    lumia motors can run off DMX.

    Only a single colour system right now, but it's pretty capable

    100mw 532 (becoming 532/650):
    - dt-40pro
    - 100mW 532nm dpss TTL
    (coming soon:
    - 400mW 650nm analog/TTL)

    1W 532:
    -EMS4000 30K eyemagic galvo's (both differential and single ended possible)
    -1W rumzing DPSS 532nm analog modulation (0-5V)

    ~ 500 mw of balanced white out the front aperture:

    400 mw 660 nm red
    150 mw 532 nm green (turned down to around 70 mw)
    100 mw 473 nm blue

    All colors are analog modulated, and all are connected single-ended to the controller. Also, all color signals run through one of DZ's color correction boards to smooth out the modulation timing/response.

    ScanPro 50 galvos, tuned to 30Kpps and running at a max of ~ 45 degrees scan angle for most shows. Connected differentially to the controller.

    GM-20 for a shutter. No other effects in the box.

    Running on a Pangolin LD-2000 intro controller.
