Just wanted to give public recognition to Dave at Lasershow Parts, who got me out of a fix this week and for a very reasonable price...
Due to a software issue, the ScanPro 40's in my colour projector had some kind of failure after which I could only tune them to about 15k. I have a big show this Saturday and really needed them putting right...
Dave went out of his way to get them repaired in time for the show. Unfortunately the courier managed to destroy the repaired scanners, but Dave jumped in and got me a replacement set which arrived this morning...
So, I thought I had a day of tuning ahead of me, but *No*. The scanners were perfectly tuned to 40k straight out of the box. I am a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to getting scanners tuned and was amazed to see how well these were dialed in straight out of the factory. In fact, I have never owned a set of scanners that scan so well...
I also need to thank Simon (P1t8ull) who loaned me a set of his ScanPro's just in case mine didn't get back on time...
Unfortunately my Panasonic TZ camera just can't keep up with the scanners and so I got no decent picture of a test pattern. But, my acid test has always been the Creation show that comes with LD2000. For some reason, I have never owned a set of scanners that can draw the polygons at the beginning of the show and the stars without the polygons breaking up and the stars growing tails... Well these scanners did it right out the box...
So, a big thanks to Dave, you really got me out of trouble and the show will go on
Cheers
Mark
Here is a pic from Creation at 40k full angle, by the way, the red outlines are down to the camera and not the projector.
