Sorry to be a pain, Steve, but I'm on a bit of a personal campaign against the idea of posts in public forums containing allusions to "secret" activities, ideas or information that
end quote.

I believe the word "giddy" should be stricken from all public forums as well.. at least when used by grown men. End quote.
OK, that does it. We will not be banning words here. Names, maybe, but not Words!!
GIDDY! GIDDY! GIDDY!
I must quote Charles Dickens, "I am as light as a feather, I am as happy as an angel, I am as merry as a school-boy. I am as giddy as a drunken man.
GIDDY, GIDDY, GIDDY
Better yet!
GIGGITY! GIGGITY! GIGGITY!

I get tired of being called a insider, If I was such a insider, why am I not damn rich?
Also,
Because it looked spookier then this one:

My profiles says I'm a member... perhaps...

EF, et al...
Because Steve is a Gentleman, Scholar and generally all-around Good-Guy...he was - out of principle - simply not posting details about a job he was hired to help with, until the 'boss' (which is not even 'me' - it's the Client's 'NDA', really...) 'said' it was okey-dokey... and - sorry - still ain't, quite...Pics, to-come, "ASAP"...
But I can say this: It was a *really* challenging job: incredibly-demanding multi-billion-dollar Client, requiring almost aerospace-grade minutia- (both as-to color-matching and geometrics) -driven logo-projections on two sides of a glass-walled 36-story building, from 35-stories-up, simultaneously, in light-to-moderate rain (with a threat of thunderstorms) with comm-radio interference-challenges, (and all the rest of the 'classic-ails of a rush job')... One-side was a 200-plus-foot throw... and the second was 715' ... all into a ~ 15' x 80' projection zone...
All accomplished with 6-Days-till-show-day notice - including travel, by both plane and car - on 1/3 the up-front budget asked-for (it was: 'take it or leave it')...
...Oh, and having to negotiate FAA approval with the two-primary Regional contacts on vacation that week.
Yeah.
So, a HUGE and very-public Thank You to Steve and Carlos (from Cali) for their perseverance, fortitude and fidelity. And to Steve for NOT just 'posting pix', cause he felt 'giddy'about being a key part-of pulling-off a near-impossible gig....
...And to Carlos cause he drank me under the table.

Ok, now for your 'pic-fix' (...something I *can* show you..)
One of the systems used was the (relatively) new RGB Systems "Compact 8" - and all I have to say is: WOW.
...4 - yes 4 - solid Watts of 642, 3-3.5W of 532 (utilizing a reportedly-new 'v-fold cavity' DPSS green, with incredible mod-linearity) and 2+ Watts of 445 (and these were clearly the 'narrow-stripe' Nichies, with really stellar beam-qual...)
Out of the window, we measured over 9W of WL, and even-turning the 'mucho-reddo' down, still saw a solid 8W of fairly-balanced white... to get 'perfect' white, we saw ~6.5-7-ish W's, but the green, especially, was really nice (modu-wise) - I was blown-away with the raster-image tests...fewest 'artifacts' I've seen, yet...
TEC / thermal-management - cooling and heating - is very-intelligently designed (imho) and you have a nice, 'status' panel on the back for all the primary sys-PSUs and TEC-stats, and the 'usual RGB goodies' (X-Y invert / mirror / scaling, pot-control of all diode-powers for 'fine-tuning' color-balance, and - most-importantly - EXTERNAL convergence-adjustments, etc, etc...)
Granted, these puppies come with a pretty-hardcore price-tag, but with Sir Greg Makhov personally overseeing the certification-details / process for use in the US + his incredible tech-knowledge of these systems, and State-Side support (including emergency x-rentals, if need-be....) any service does not necessarily *have-to* go-back to Hungary.... All that 'piece of mind' is 'part of the price', so for a pro sho Co., it's like buying a tech-insurance policy...
Perfect? No, of course-not - what projector / sys-is, yet? But this thing is pretty darn-close....beautiful piece of engineering, really solid design and manufacturing... and bottom-line: awesome-results for the Client, even with such a 'demanding' show-environment / parameters....
I would love to see some super-linear (like this things' green) 457 or 460, even, added to the blue-side mix... (and of-course, direct-inj green, wouldn't we all... Perhaps some yellow,
then it'd be 'perfect'... Yes, yes, I know: 'OPSL', but if it were, all OPSLs, it would never be able to be so, well... 'compact'
Overall:...and I had a good time, too....
...Till the next insanity-festival....
