Different form factors, different connectors, different everything. Sorry...  |  IP: Logged Dave Macaulay Film God Posts: 2321 From: Toronto, Canada Registered: Apr 2001 posted 03-06-2018 06:33 PM                     I don't want to rain on your parade, but you bought the most expensive 2K digital projector made... and you want to put an ancient S1 light engine in it? You should be able to use any 2K or maybe even 4K Barco B series light engine, since you clearly don't care about the color abilities of the P projector. I realize a replacement P light engine is crazy expensive, and a B series LE is hardly cheap. But unless you have time to ship your P light engine to Barco for repair (not speedy repair, btw) then what else can you do? Note that integrator rod and mirror alignment can affect color across the image. You say you approved the color before it was bought, are you 100% positive this color shift wasn't there then? Shipping could cause the integrator or mirror to shift but doubtful it would affect the prism colors.  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 03-07-2018 06:24 PM                     Wouldn't it be possible to perform a uniformity calibration on this light engine, as it is a 'P' machine yet? At least until a capable tech is found to look into the light path? - Carsten  |  IP: Logged
