Geez, the first sentence my eyes happened to fall on was:
quote: The first step is to make sure the console or lamphouse is level. Raise or lower the adjustable feet in the base until the system is level, resulting in a level starting point to reference the rest of the system to. (Remember that any unevenness of the curtains or masking will be compensated for later with the filing of the aperture plate.)
The aperture plate??? So if the lamphouse is level, that apparently means the projector is automatically level to the lamphouse. Furthermore if the lamphouse is level, then the screen and masking system MUST be level too. Heck, no need to even worry about that pesky aperture plate...just skew the anamorphic to level it!
In skimming...
quote: If checking the brightness with a light meter, the center should read anywhere from 12-16 lumens, with the sides generally three to four lumens less, equal on both sides.
Ummmmmm, while I get the fact that whoever wrote this MEANT to say footlamberts, if I am reading this correct to achieve 16 footlamberts in the center of the picture on a Big Sky console means the sides will only be 4 footlamberts. Really???
