Hi Peter
I have a few questions
Do you work with anyone else or are the the only operater there 24/7? Is it a part time operation? How many screens? What brands are labeled on the projectors, the cakestands/platters are strong ( , and sound equipment?
Bulbs can flicker due to old age, irregular power from the powerpoint, AC ripple in the rectifier, wrong voltage for the bulb, or even cheap or defective bulbs, perhaps the bulb conections are not tight enough. there are many other possibilities.
Lets start with the brand of bulb, how many hours or months/years has the bulb been in the projector?
quote: am running RP40s again next week, so I will have to see how it looks then. fingers crossed its just the print!
As for the test film, um a quicker way to cheack migh be answered with this question. Does the bounce happen during the ads and trailers at the begining? do you have any other film in the box you could run, if the bounce is consistant on all movies, ads & trailers your problem is with the projector. If its just one or two movies/ads its the lab.
