Author Topic: Alleged Strong Pedestal and Accesory Rack for Digital Head? Andres Briano Expert Film Handler Posts: 162 From: Buenos Aires, Argentina Registered: Jan 2008 posted 09-27-2008 07:01 AM                        Hi all! I´m supposed to fly north again in 10 days to help install a CP2000 on top of a "Strong Pedestal & Accesory Rack" (as the PO reads). I have been surfing the web trying to find information on this alleged pedestal with no luck. Mainly what I need is a .pdf or just the dimensions of it. Can anyone shed some (xenon) light on it?

Yes, It may work and it may not. Depends on which CP-2000 you're installing... Normally the CP-2000SB is meant to go on it's own base and the base contains the xenon power supply and DMD cooling pump and a 4 way network switch. This version of the 2000 has 4 threaded rods comming down from each bottom corner of the projector's head that secure it to it's own base. This version isn't going to work on the Strong base! There is another version of the CP-2000 that is meant for portable use that has an external power supply, built in DMD cooling pump and the supply is connected by an umbillical to the projector. This version might work on the Strong base if it all fits properly. It's a similar size to the NEC-2500. I would put the server and ancillary stuff in another rack myself... you'll be sitting on the floor to operate the server if you put it in the Strong Base... it's availablke rack space is set very low. Richard... Its not that it keeps their sheet metal shop busy... they had to use up all the car jacks somewhere .

Does any of you know the model number? Oreven better the width, depth and height of it? I need to tell the contractor where to put the porthole and without those measures, it´s kinda impossible.  |  IP: Logged Andres Briano Expert Film Handler Posts: 162 From: Buenos Aires, Argentina Registered: Jan 2008 posted 09-29-2008 04:02 PM                        I finally got the info I needed. I´ll post it here for future reference for any members. I have a .pdf if anyone is interested.

I assume you are getting the 2000SB with the seperate power supply???  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

That would be a CP-2000XB head, with the "stand alone" ballast. Unfortunately the .pdf I got my hands on has no height on it. I had to calculate it going on drawing scale. I´ll email this .pdf (not that it´ll be much help to anyone in the future) to Brad so that he can add it to the warehouse, at his own discretion, of course.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-30-2008 08:25 PM                     quote: Steve Guttag Yes, yes...I forgot to mention that the biguns are on the "B" suffix....CP20000-XB. CP-20000XB... Man... I wish there was a 20kw version! Perhaps soon!  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!
