Reupload because the original had the ending showing the DMD cut off. Opening it up, getting the lamp running, and looking at the DMD
This old projector in Vijay theatre at Laxmi Road, Pune, still uses “arc light” created by carbon rods for projection of films. Tips of two carbon rods placed opposite each other, carrying high voltage electricity are brought in contact for a moment to start a spark and then separated to a pre-determined distance to let the spark going. According to the senior operator Bodhale, these Bauer projectors are made in India, though originally it is a German make.
@mikeselectricstuff Yes, someone else pointed that out too. I feel stupid for not figuring that out myself.
~2:18 “I wonder what that’s for” looks like an IR remote receiver, looking for a bounce off the screen
thank you , enjoyed video
Cool video man! Nice to see one of these in detail.
Really cool technology.
Mechanically more complicated than today’s flat screens, and probably were cheaper to fix after the Wii controllers hit the screens.
Great way to show how these work, Gotta love Digitalness
The best part of the video and it gets cut off. Gotta love Morphy’s law .
Thanks so much for re-uploading, that has to be one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen
that is an awesome piece of technology
