We recently drew a black curtain on our studio window to calibrate the newest display technology we have seen in a while - Hi Fidelity. The cables it supports are outstanding, VTR, 2-source compositing is part of the base unit. Fortunately our re-salesman Mr. Schneider provided both the dealer,base unit and remote controls in their entirety. He sold it to us on the behalf of a fellow video buff. Although costing over $11,000 in 1987, The final purchase for The Studio was an unprecedented amount under one tenth the original value, delivered to our door and given a very thorough explanation of the unit's special talents right inside The Studio.

The first thing we noticed was it warms up in 1.5 seconds. Then the built in alignment screen was thrown up and we converged the colored grids until they formed a solid white field, and the vertical scan lines became sharp. As our output is most often digital to begin with, no blurring of the image was desired.

Illustrated projection setups range from 72" to 100" to 250" depending on the triangulation and distribution of the light path. distance (lenses converge or spread with spacers The light dances over the projector at a Horizontal clip from 15-36 kHz paired with the awesome Vertical beam range of 40-150 Hz (including overscan region)
