Author Topic: Christie Solaria One - slight blue tint Greg Wolf Film Handler Posts: 3 From: Phoenix, AZ USA Registered: Jan 2017 posted 01-25-2017 01:07 PM                     I'm trying to figure out what might be causing a very slight blue tint on a Solaria One. Only shows up on either a black (or very dark)image or no input. When I go to white there's a very faint yellow where the blue would be in the black source. Not uniform across the frame, it almost looks like something is off in the optics or lamp/reflector alignment, though everything looks to properly installed & aligned. IMB was replaced a few weeks ago. Any ideas?  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 01-25-2017 05:16 PM                     I believe there was a similar thread highlighting a similar issue with a Christie, just a few weeks ago.  |  IP: Logged Greg Wolf Film Handler Posts: 3 From: Phoenix, AZ USA Registered: Jan 2017 posted 01-26-2017 09:11 AM                     I don't think it's the same issue, this is constant & doesn't look like I'm losing signal from one of the colors like a cable short would be. It's virtually impossible to see when normal content is running, only when it's black or almost black content.  |  IP: Logged Ioannis Syrogiannis Expert Film Handler Posts: 147 From: Reykjavík, Iceland Registered: Jun 2005 posted 01-26-2017 01:33 PM                     It is very much likely that there is dirt (or something else disabling the light go through) on one of the DMDs. I also think there is a similar thread, but older than that. Either way, a sequence of projecting the color test patterns (Christie has both the main RGB colors and the combination of them. Magenta, Cyan and Yellow) would give you a hint.  |  IP: Logged Stephan Shelley Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 854 From: castro valley, CA, usa Registered: Nov 2014 posted 01-26-2017 02:09 PM                     Have you checked the convergence?  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 01-26-2017 03:18 PM                     Do you mean this thread?  |  IP: Logged Ioannis Syrogiannis Expert Film Handler Posts: 147 From: Reykjavík, Iceland Registered: Jun 2005 posted 01-27-2017 12:45 AM                     quote: Marco Giustini Do you mean this thread?
