Author Topic: Rialto Video Projector Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-25-2003 05:00 PM                     We just got a new projector at the Riatlo Cinemas. It's a Sanyo PZL31N. We had to buy a long throw zoom lens for it so that the projector could be in the booth and have a nice 4x3 image on our screen. MSRP (USD) : $ 15,995 Brightness (Lumens) : 5200 ANSI Contrast: ANSI: Full On/Off: 800:1 Weight: 50.5 lbs. Size (inches) (HxWxD) : 9.1 x 17.3 x 23.9 Image Size (inches) : 40.0 - 600.0 Lens: Focus: Power Zoom: Power, 1.3:1 Optional Lenses: Yes Digital Zoom: Yes Keystone Correction: Digital Lens Shift: Yes Compatibility: HDTV: ** EDTV/480p: ** SDTV/480i: ** Component Video: Yes Video: Yes Digital Input: DVI-I Personal Computers: Yes Lamp: Type: 200W UHP Quantity: 2 Display: Type: 1.8" PolySi LCD (3) Native: 1024x768 Pixels Maximum: 1600x1200 Pixels Aspect Ratio: 4:3 (XGA) Performance: H-Sync Range: 15.0 - 120.0kHz V-Sync Range: 50 - 120Hz Pixel Clock: 230 MHz max Here is a picture of our video table. We purchased a used Betacam SP deck and we brought in a DVD player from the house. We have 7 video rental events this fall so we thought purchasing the equipment might be a better idea. I love the torn digital image, just goes to show you how good digital can be.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 09-25-2003 06:48 PM                     Buy the Bravo D-1 DVD player for $199 and you can hook it up to your projector via DVI cable for much increased quality.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

Consider an Extron System 7SC as a starting point...there are better and lesser ones but it is a good starting point. Extron System 7SC It will let you select between your various sources, switch your audio and balance out their levels. It will also scale all of your lesser formats up to the native resolution of your video projector so they will look as good as they can. The unit can also control your projector so you can turn off the projector without killing the fan or put up annoying OSD messages.

We got a nice credit with our cinema supplier from the seating company for screw-ups in our seating install, so in the words of Scott Hicks (at American Cinema Equipment), we got a screamin deal.  |  IP: Logged John Spooner Expert Film Handler Posts: 186 From: South Australia, Australia Registered: Jan 2003 posted 09-26-2003 12:27 PM                     Dear Kevin. I would safely say that here in Oz the thing would cost a lot more than the price shown. Certainly more than the average independant exhibitor could afford or justify.  |  IP: Logged
