Author Topic: Christie cp2000, Barco Dp2000 and 3D Koroye Seitonkumo Film Handler Posts: 57 From: Yenagoa, Bayelsa, Nigeria Registered: Aug 2018 posted 08-29-2019 12:42 PM                     Hello all.. Is it possible to achieve 3D shows with a Barco dp2000 or a Christie cp2000?  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-29-2019 01:40 PM                     Yes, with Master Image or Real-D systems its really very easy. Dolbly 3-D is a little more involved as the spinning wheel goes inside the projector.

I thought they went End-of-Sale somewhere at the end of last year for xenon machines?  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-31-2019 10:17 AM                     I have seen several used Dolbly 3-D systems for sale...  |  IP: Logged Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 08-31-2019 11:15 AM                     Yeah, but given the fact that he runs a very low budget operation, I don't think Dolby 3D is the best way to roll. Even though the projector retrofit may be gotten pretty cheap as a second hand, you still need someone to install it into your projector. Since this machine is both eol and end-of-support, I simply wouldn't risk it. If RealD is active in your market, that's one of the cheapest solutions for the exhibitor if you're looking at one-time investments. Otherwise, there are some alternatives in the market that don't require licensing fees, including some Chinese manufacturers if you want it really cheap.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-31-2019 01:18 PM                     Oh, totally agree! It wasn't a good way to run even if you had a big budget... Mark  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

We put quite a few in and most remain in use. We, generally, had separate lamphouses for 3D lamps so they were only paying for the bright lamp when they needed the extra light. 6P lasers address the low light efficiency of Dolby 3D but they are crazy expensive.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-01-2019 09:47 AM                     Its a great system if you enjoy 3 to 4 fl of light level whilst burning a 6kw lamp. If you put a silver screen in a narrow room they are actually passable.

Particularly compared to those short-throw, flat frame Silver screens I have seen around so many times.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 09-01-2019 02:43 PM                     All of my systems ran at 4.5fL nominal and yes, 4.5fL on a Dolby 3D on a white screen will appear brighter than 8+fL on a silver because there is more than just the dead-center of the screen to look at.  |  IP: Logged
