Infocus IN81 conversion in. … IN82

That I am very worried as a man and as a technician is something that I think you all have it figured out. In the context of this concern I present an intervention in DMD change an Infocus IN81 from DC2, DC3 in by dark chip 2 i.e. dark chip 3. The reason; the curiosity about how role playing DMD alone, in contrast.

The IN81 volunteer found the chip, I already had in my lab and the intervention started …

There is a hidden screw under one of three flexible mountings

The cooling system goes up. ..

Latest disconnects before the optical hand..

Here the incremental iris of infocus …

The “carcass”..

And we got to the main course … the optical

Somewhere here and begins to replace the DMD

Unlike other manufacturers, IN81 does use a conductive connection between silicone DMD Chip and heatsink.

Let’s see the change ….

The DC3 is with the black plastic cap. ..

The DC3 in place ….

A common problem in this series is “stuffy” very fine sieve inside the cooling system and is not removable by the user. The projector overheats and eating the bulbs one after another ….

Here the color wheel of IN81

After synarmologisa the projector, turn to see the result. I set up the projector opposite the light meter and took measurements on on/off contrast to compare with those who’d gotten before changing the chip. Measurements before and after they became naturally with zoom in the same location and with the same settings to get safer as possible result. However as you will see the numbers not brightness is exactly the same, which means that the light meter does not just sit in the same position and both times although its placement after detailed measurement of the distance from the lens.

Let’s see ….

DC2

DC3

That is, we had an average increase of on/off contrast at 37%. # Not huge nor small.

The conclusion is that Yes, the DC3 gives greater native on/off projector contrast, other still and I think very important role plays and the optical design.

I think this because in the recent past by comparing 2 projectors with DC4 (a BenQ W5000 which I wear a DC4 and Infocus IN83) results were very big difference. The W5000 gave the best of measuring close to 2000:1 while the IN83 3500:1. Difference that only the optical design can justify (maybe the software.)

Then I was tempted to do some color measurements in a IN81 and I had him in my hands. Let’s see …

After some corrections …

And the color of the triangle …

On the subject of regulatory the IN81 takes care to remind the chronakia that carries on his back. Nothing to do with the surgical precision of current DLP models, wayward projector with bizarre behavior, particularly for DLP once current models come almost kalimprarismena from the factory. On the other hand, of course I remembered after time what does surgical sharpness and serious lens … something missing from almost all DLP models today.

I hope you enjoyed this technical article!

Good views!
