Author Topic: Focus NC 2000 Ren Patula Film Handler Posts: 4 From: Manchester/ United Kingdom Registered: Aug 2012 posted 09-06-2012 09:54 AM                     I have problem with two of our NC 2000 projectors. On site we have almost all models of NC series II and two of Series I. In a nutshell two of them constantly loosing focus, the team knows how to adjust it on the projector while they notice it during the show but as you know it is not possible to save it ,so on another show if they can get to it they need to do the same. If there is a time all small gap we can focus using laptop and saving the settings but it doesn't last long it again drifting after 2-3 days. Can not find where is the problem. Other projectors holds the focus for months. I should ask the support centre but honestly I don't have the strength any more. Any advices for me? Thank you in advance  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under!

There was an issue last year with InVision lenses and holding focus settings.  |  IP: Logged Ren Patula Film Handler Posts: 4 From: Manchester/ United Kingdom Registered: Aug 2012 posted 09-12-2012 12:33 PM                     Hi Paul, thank you for that suggestion the lenses used on the machines are KONICA MINOLTA A0ET 330.  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 09-12-2012 03:12 PM                     I assume the machines are running the latest software (not too familiar, something around 4?) and you have contacted your support team/NEC, what did they say about it?  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

There is also a lens utility but not widely publicized. There is a version that lets one check the calibration.  |  IP: Logged Ren Patula Film Handler Posts: 4 From: Manchester/ United Kingdom Registered: Aug 2012 posted 09-18-2012 04:47 AM                     Thank you for all advices I will have go soon with them.
