Insanity's Monster - The build begins

[Insanity]

Hey Mark well done looks very nice.
I am intrigued re the cube as I had Bridge look at the specs for mine and it didn't look like it would go at all.
I ended up going the Semrock dichro way. The bank balance is starting to recover, its got to be one of the most expensive bits of 25mm glass around.
Should have my next one up and running in the next week.
Like you also using 473-250mw(had it to hand CNI), 445 - 500mw (Arctos), 640 - 1200mw (Kvant), 532 - 600mw(CNI). If it comes out anything like yours I will be well pleased. Might have to re connect my "660" just to stay up with the Jones's..

Great DVD by the way.. just got to get time to study it more now.

Cheers

I thought I was going to go down the Semrock route, but the cube (as you can see in the pics) did a sterling job. I was originally going to put a pair of 473's in there, the 445 was a last minute choice. I was amazed that the cube worked so well, maybe I got lucky with that cube...

You will be very pleased with your projector, but make sure you spend the time to tune the palette manually. You get some amazing colours that way. I only wish my camera would replicate them.. I guess you will all have to come to UKLEM and see the colours for yourselves

Glad you are enjoying the DVD, it will certainly save a lot of time fiddling with the various controls and functions...

Cheers

Here are a couple more piccies... This time with smoke...

@SBK, I tried to get you a pic of 473 and 445 independantly, but the camera just doesn't capture them too well and they both looked very similar...

Another video on its way up to youtube, will let you know when its done

"There is room to get some more kit such as a beam brush in there and I have wired the ILDA in such a way that I should be able to easily fit PASS in there sometime in the future... "

Wow nice! So many kinds of pink/violet

[sbk]

Wow the video shows really well the amazing colours you have with your setup... And I just try to imagine how well it is when you are in front of the real projector

I just can't wait to finish my new projector to see it by myself

I can see brown/bronze color between green rays...
WOW!
It's correct or it is dark orange only? (or I should upgrade my glasses uh?...)

Anyway...
Superb color balance.

@White-light : There is an old Belgian saying that goes as follows : "All that lases is not OPSL ..."
