Hey Mr C -

why do all the big pro projectors that use opsl ,have a yellow one ?? .
why do they need it ?

Cuz yellow, by itself, and, Y + other colors looks different than G + those same colors... ie: the 577 Y of OPSL + 445 B, makes for a rather 'otherworldly' white, that you just can't get with RGB, let alone just G+B.. Additionally, 'optical fx', such as lumia, machitas, etc are *waay* richer / more-interesting with an RYGB-source, vs just an RGB... To me, the 'ultimate' OPSL system would be RYGGCBBB... that's, at least, most of the way to an Ion-pallete...

I'm about to post some pix in yer 'NYE' thread, that will make this 'point' about Y... IF that's OK with you... If not, just lemme know and I'll can-em...

..and, sorry, Sir Mark, bout the 'detour' in yer thread...

Hey Chris, LD2000 has 6 colour channels that you can configure in the Palette settings... Haven't seen any palette stuff in Beyond yet, but I would guess it will have all 6 channels... I use 4 of the channels in my RGBB projector... From memory they are red, green, blue, yellow, deep blue/violet and cyan, not necessarily in that order...

Can't tell you too much at the moment But, it will be an outdoor installation open to the public for around 6 months... I think the press will be at the opening, so plenty of photo's with any luck...

Does it have anything to do with a big stadium in the British capital and a logo with 5 rings on it?

If it i, the opening ceremony will be all over the BBC anyway.

Other obvious question, but are there even any SHOW FILES that support other colours than R/G/B and a mix of the three? How do you tell your software you explicitly want 'yellow', not '50% green, 50% red'?

Sadly not that event, but it's still a pretty prestigious thing...

You can manually set the palette from the ILDA colour and fading test patterns and specify which laser(s) display each colour..
