Author Topic: Panavision 3D System for Barco DP2000 Angelo D'Alessio Film Handler Posts: 6 From: Roma, Italy / RM, Italy Registered: Mar 2015 posted 03-27-2015 09:46 AM                     I am desperately looking for the “Panavision 3D System for BARCO DP2000 Projector - Installation and Operating Guide”. Is there anyone who can help me? Best regards  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 03-27-2015 10:12 AM                    Have you tried contacting Panavision? I know someone who has one and it is very similar to Dolby 3D, with a filter wheel installed in the projector.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

Note to Steve Kraus: I have tried contacting Panavision. They do not handle, or sell, anymore 3D kit. No Panavision person is now dedicated to this old 3D Panavision kit. I have the documentation for the Dolby 3D kit but it’s not useful because only the filter wheel is the same as the Panavision kit. The electronic and the physical layout are completely different. Note to Steve Guttag: I am seeking the documentation to service the broken kit. However, if you have info on the availability of the device it’s wise to know.

They are doing essentially the same thing, after all. The instructions are in the service manual for the 3D kit, including board replacement. If it is the same as the Dolby3D board, it is part number R765355K. I don't know about now but a while ago Barco wouldn't sell just the board.  |  IP: Logged Angelo D'Alessio Film Handler Posts: 6 From: Roma, Italy / RM, Italy Registered: Mar 2015 posted 03-28-2015 03:29 AM                     Thank you Steve.

We found it didn't work nearly as well as claimed in terms of light, well if you followed the book and used their look up tables you did get more light than Dolby 3D but unacceptable cross talk. As it was basically Dolby 3D with the filters in different places we tried running the Dolby 3D wizard. Crosstalk now very good, light now worse than Dolby.  |  IP: Logged Chase Taylor Expert Film Handler Posts: 175 From: Troy, Alabama, USA Registered: Mar 2001 posted 03-28-2015 01:33 PM                        I was servicing a system about a year ago and was trying to find the calculation for color correction. I believe there was a excel spreadsheet that was used for this.  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 03-28-2015 03:08 PM                     I thought Panasonic 3D was using 6 filters and not 3 as Dolby do? The main downside was that if the server required a Dolby license for the correction, you were stuck with the projector correction, which does not take into account light balancing.  |  IP: Logged Pete Naples Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1565 From: Dunfermline, Scotland Registered: Feb 2001 posted 03-28-2015 05:32 PM                     Chase, you are correct.  |  IP: Logged Chase Taylor Expert Film Handler Posts: 175 From: Troy, Alabama, USA Registered: Mar 2001 posted 03-29-2015 05:50 PM                        Does anyone still have this spreadsheet?  |  IP: Logged
