Author Topic: Adapt Dolby CAT960Z 3D System from NEC1600 To Barco DP2K15C & DP2K10S. Miguel Cruz Film Handler Posts: 16 From: Mexico City Registered: Nov 2012 posted 06-01-2016 06:25 PM                     Hi everyone. We have to removed two NEC1600 with Dolby 3D systems, I've checked with Dolby and they said me that is not possible, also Barco said that . Barco said me that I have to buy the Dolby 3D for Barco ( the owner doesn't want to buy another two Dolby 3D systems) .What do you think , Is it possible adapt a Dolby 3D System Cat960Z from NEC 1600 Series 1 to Barco DP2K15C and DP2K10S ? The owner of the projectors doesn't care if we have to cut the covers of the projectors to adapt the Dolby wheel . The owner said that these projectors already don't have warranty , so he wants to tried to adapt the Dolby 3D Systems. Best Regards.  |  IP: Logged Sam D.

It should have been covered in an earlier thread.  |  IP: Logged Miguel Cruz Film Handler Posts: 16 From: Mexico City Registered: Nov 2012 posted 06-04-2016 08:23 AM                     Hi Sam Thanks for the information, I will try to get a kit Christie to adapt.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-04-2016 09:56 AM                     Normally the Infinitec filter wheels come installed in new Barco's. This may be why Dolby has no kit... Mark  |  IP: Logged Sam D.

This assembly does not come standard on Barco projectors but is an expensive option.  |  IP: Logged
